What is love?
What is love for you? Some people think that love conquers all, but it's not that simple. We learn as adults that life is not a Disney movie, love is not enough to support a relationship and make you happy. The way we live a relationship is the most important thing.
Self-love should be our priority. If you don't love yourself and enjoy your own company, you will never keep a healthy relationship. You will always put too much expectations in someone else and you can't control them. Therefore, your life will never be in your own hands. Besides that, you will be vunerable to toxic relationships, which is a really dangerous situation.
Going back to the point, today my concept of love is totally different from what I thought it was some years ago. Love is something we build along the way. Love is not anxious, it's not selfish and it isn't demanding. Someone I love makes me a better version of myself, accept and love me for what I am and not for something he/she want me to be. Love don't make me afraid. I don't need anything in return, it's free. I just want to see this person happy even if this means he/she will be far away from me. I'm not worried about other people. Does this person love someone else besides me? I don't care, it doesn't change anything. If it makes him/her happy, I'm happy too. We don't belong to anyone. We are people, we love, we fail, we are born to live and I'm not here to prevent anyone to live a full life.
Is it kind of confusing? Yes, it is. But who told you life is simple to explain?

Very thoughtful and interesting text to read. I agree with everything in theory. It's hard, however, to accept that someone you love (in the sense of being in love with) loves someone else in that way. One must be saint or enlightened in some way to genuinely accept this I think.

Nice article. In one movie that I watched, the leading actor was saying that "Love gives you wings". I think that's true because the people that feel love start living above the clouds :)
