Lovestruck

I just finished a LOT of romance movies lately, and it's been really overwhelming my head. LOVE, a many splendid things, just like how it was said in Moulin Rouge. It's a way of life. Everyone, one way or another deals with it, feels it, hurts because of it and sometimes even feels trashed being controlled by it.

LOVE is inevitable. It's like the air brushing over your face. Like the sand that never fades in the beach. Like the clouds that hovers above in the sky. It's something unseen. It's a personal experience. It's one thing you own. People always try to define it without even capturing the true essence of its existence. It's like pain in so many ways, no one can ever dictate you how to feel LOVE.. until you experience it yourself. It nullifies mistakes, justify actions, and explains madness. It makes you plunge into something you've never thought about first. Sometimes it's more emotions than sanity. For some, it's their anchor, one thing they constantly hold on to for survival. It complicates things and makes you feel extraordinary. It makes you human.

It never chooses. It just flares up sometimes. It's even inconvenient in so many ways than one. It drives you. It inspires you. It puts a smile to your face. Some days, it makes you want to throw up. Bad relationship? It makes you put up with sacrifice, loneliness and even violence in some people.

In reality, it gets distorted sometimes. It becomes an obsession. It becomes your purpose. You forget yourself and get to do stupid things sometimes. It overrides backgrounds, bad images and opposing parents. You feel on edge and dangerous sometimes. You feel rebellious and it somehow makes you alive for the very first time in your life. It's exhilarating. It's wonderful.

But enough with my brave attempt to describe how love unfolds for some people. It'll be a breath of fresh air knowing from the expert of LOVE:


"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy. It does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."
1 Corinthians 13:4-8

It's gonna be really hard following this guideline. But knowing from the truth will actually make your LOVE more authentic. It will count for more. It will radically change your life. It will start to mean more than before. It will make it more exciting, dynamic and fresh. It's a process and it's a challenge. More importantly, it will help your LOVE gain "FOREVER".
