What is love?

Baby don't hurt me, don't hurt me, no more.

Hahaha, love that song(:

Anyways, what is love nowadays? I hear people toss, the "L" word around(love, not lesbian) like its the cool thing to do now. Forgive me, but last time I checked, I thought you are only supposed to say it, when you truly, actually feel it, when you have nothing else that you want more than that person, when you would do anything for that person, or is love undefined? What is your definition of love? I'd love to hear everyones thoughts/opinions on their definition of love. I've never been in love, and am not afraid to admit it, I believe that one day there will be someone to sweep me off my feet, and I will be the one holding the broom, so of course, I'd have to approve of this "love".

Now, who am I to say what love is when I've never felt it before, who am I to say, you're not in love (even though y'all have been going out for like 2 weeks), I am a nobody, and again I'm not afraid to admit that as well. There are so many opinions that matter to me and so much more that don't matter, I'm sure everyone is just the same.

I thought I should put in my 2 cents and write a blog on this infamous topic that everyones in and ejoying while im on the sidelines trying to figure out how the game works. Call me old fashioned, but I like to know who I'm dealing with, I'd like to know who they are before I get into something, before I be with that person. Some don't take relationships very seriously, but as my sister said to me, when I was younger, the person you go out with, is pretty much a potential wife/husband. Yes, its very scary, to even think about it, I mean I don't go straight into a relationship and think, YUP! this guys, gonna be my husband, no doubt, we're going to have 2 girls 2 boys, 1 dog, 3 fishes, have a nice white 2 story house, with a yellow kitchen and a white picket fence. No. It's a possibility, I think of the future constantly, and it scares me. If you have been keeping up with my blogs, I admitted that the future scares me, and thats probably the only thing that scares me besides my dad. The future scares me, because I dont know what holds for me in the future, I always like to stay on top of my game, on top of my tip toes, bc well, imma ballerina, we stay on our toes (; no but really, I just like to know what goes on, and without knowing, I just have to be very cautious.

Back on topic. Love. What is it?

According to my handy dandy dictionary app from my iPhone

Love.
1. a strong positive emotion of regard and emotion.
2. any object of warm affection or devotion.
3. a beloved person; used as terms of endearment.

So, when you guys use the word "love" do you think of those 3 definitions?

Love.
4. a deep feeling of sexual desire and attraction.

Or do you think of this definition?

Do you love this person because of who they are, or do you just love this person bc of how they give it to you? Do you love this person, or are you in love with this person? Yes, there is a difference.

There are so many different types of love, and I'll be honest I really dont know what they all are, but I do know a few.

-passionate love
-simple love
-genuine love
-young love
-hate love
-forced love

My favorites are passionate and genuine(: I'm a hopeless romantic. No joke. There really aren't that many people like that anymore. Some have their heads stuck way to high up there ass, and some just dont care anymore.

I wish people would take love more seriously instead of throwing the word around, like its a toy. Now, i'm guilty of using that word, when I didn't mean it. I blame it on young love. I think of it now, and it wasn't love.

Why haven't I been in love before, or in it you might ask, well im not going to lie either, i'm scared.

Scared? Yes! I'm scared of love. While, people run head on, with their heart on their sleeves. I kinda, walk taking my time, and not head on, I walk in slowly with barriers and walls all around me ESP around my heart. I'm scared bc if I give my love, my love wouldnt be returned, reciprocated, and I think that would devastate me. That would hurt me so much, that I wouldnt know what to do. I'm afraid to open up, bc i'm not sure if this person that I supposedly "love" is feeling the same way, or just playing me. I'm scared to dive in, bc I dont know if im ready for this. In a relationship, I give my all, and if it doesn't work out, then there isn't that "what if" factor. I'm different from what you say most girls, about this, but I wouldn't say im different from anyone. Though, I will say, not two girls are alike.

All I can say is, think twice, before you say something that you cant take back, bc once you say "love" you cant take that shit back, you cant be like "i love you... naw wait, i dont love you," lol its wrong.

The heart knows what it wants more than what the mind says. The heart does not always want what the mind wants.

"The greatest love, is to love, and to be loved in return."

"The human heart knows things the eyes don't see, and feels things the mind cannot understand."

Now, leave me some love(:
