Do people love too easily? … Or not enough? 

When people get together these days they seem to be madly in love, before they actually know each other.  Think of the last person you ‘loved’.  Do you know their favourite colour?  Their birthday?  Their most embarrassing moment?  In most circumstances the unfortunate answers to these questions is a reoccurring no. 

So why do we feel the need to fall in love with someone so quickly.  Is it because of the social pressure of being in a relationship?  It could also be linked to the way we grow up so soon and we’re just trying to impersonate an adult relationship.  Shouldn’t a teenage relationship be about spending time together, having fun, learning and growing together?  It shouldn’t be about going through life altering events and swearing our undying love towards each other, we have our whole lives for that. 

But on the other hand should love be something that is decided in an instant, or is that just lust disguised as love?

Just as people fall in love too easily these days, people fall out of it too; a lot more than they did years ago.  This would be apparent that maybe we don’t actually love as true as we once did. 

As frightening as it would be to spend your whole life with someone and for them to die and leave you alone.  Don’t you think it’d be a lot more frightening to not experience that?

I’m starting to truly believe in real love.  Not the love that my generation at the moment go through.  Because at the moment we’re still learning about ourselves, so how can we love someone who doesn’t even know who they are?  But that’s not to say that the future can’t bring something different…

I know that love isn’t in the same category as lust; in fact it’s quite an insult to put it there.  Love should be paired with companionship and contentment. 

 

Journeys begin when you meet love.
