I don't have the facts to prove that true love exists, but I for one believe that it does. I think that when we meet someone there is either a connection or there is not, whether it be a friendly connection or a romantic connection. I do not believe in love at first sight, because I believe that you cannot truly love someone until you have seen them at their worst and accepted them anyway. And I don't think anyone has the right to tell an individual who they are allowed to love. It's like telling a baby not to cry. We don't choose who we fall in love with. Most of the time we fall in love blindly and unaware of whats really going on.
I've learned during the past two years in my relationship that to be in love is to adopt the feelings, wants, and needs of another. How is it that you can truly miss someone when they are only away for a weekend? It's simple. Your routine is disrupted. The individual that you spend all of your time with is absent for a brief period and it makes you feel like something isn't quite right. You go from one person in two bodies, to the independent being that you once were. And although being independent is something many people strongly desire, the feeling of getting to share that independence with someone else is indescribable. No one can tell you how to love and you don't have to follow the norms that society has laid out and expects you to follow. Your lovers desires mix with your own and your goals change; only slightly, but they do. The plan you set out for yourself alters, and you cater to the thought of sharing a life with someone.
This process is something that intrigues me.
When God created us, did he alter our genetic makeup to include the need for companionship?
Can you be truly happy alone?
Because everyone wants love. If you ask someone and they tell you no, it's because they haven't found it yet.
