Heroic endeavors and misconstrued rationalizations.

I could've easily named this blog "my opinion on love" and it would've gotten the message across, but this is more than that. This to me, is finally feeling something I spent the last 5 years being afraid of. Finally letting someone in, in a way I never thought was possible. This is love based on a remarkable level of compromise - following a genuine attraction; both physical and mental.

The hypothetical definition of love is rather vague and has inevitably been corrupted by media influence. Is love physical? Is it something we see instead of feel? Something we dream of instead of what's real? Questions we resort to asking ourselves.

I am the victim of an overworked mind, but I don't believe any thought is censcored in our heads. Everything is real, based on something, and prevalent in every aspect of our non-fictional reality. Sometimes it takes the right person to bring out the inner workings of the fantastical mind.

So, no, love is not the same to everyone. We find love in the different parts of people that are most commonly overlooked, and that's the part that's so magical. You'll know. You feel it, connecting every part of yourself as a human, to an illusion of a fantasy world. Though the idea of "love at first sight" is a miscontrued version of an unrealistic fairytale, there is some truth to the idea of falling for someone simply from the first word.

But don't take the luxurious attraction as an isolated emotion... It comes hand and hand with envy, anger, confusion, and pain. Anything you do for the first time will be difficult; love is no different. The guarantee to never collapse does not exist. However, picking yourself up and finding a reason to push forward, will be worth every grieving endeavor. 

Love is remembering every time you said forever and never looking back at what could've been. Seeing beauty in yourself by the way they look at you. Holding on to every moment of intimacy that made you say "I love you", without a second thought. If you hold on to those moments every time you're on the verge of something drastic, then nothing will ever change.

A genuine attraction between two people will never fade. Love can only be given; it cannot be taken away. You'll have moments of inquisition where you'll see them and wonder "how did I get so lucky?". That's when you know. So when you find the person who finds a reason to give love more than they have to question it - that's special.

Marry them.
