30 day challenge: day 5

So I'm going to do a challenge for the next 30 days. I thought it would be a nice way to write something everyday and let you know more about me. The challenge for today is: Your definition of love.

This is a difficult one! And I don't really know where to start. I think that there are different types of love. The love you have for your boyfriend/girlfriend, family, pets and hobbies are not the same thing. I'm going to talk about romantic love.

Do I believe in love at first sight? I do (maybe I'm too romantic and naive, but I do). I don't think this happens a lot though.

Do I believe in true love? Again, I do. I think there is at least one true love for everyone, and maybe even more than one. I mean, if there is only one true love, how big is the chance that you will meet him/her, when we live with 7 billion people on earth? If there would be only one, who says that he/she lives in the same country as you? Even though there (maybe) are multiple true loves, I still don't think everyone meets him/her (but I hope I do one day n_n).

And now for the difficult part... What is love? I don't think anyone can live without love. Well, you could, but I think you would be very lonely. Love is when you love someone so much, you would do anything for them. And love is when you still decide to stay with someone, even though you know he/she isn't perfect, and when you accept those imperfections. Love is when you're completely comfortable with that person, and feel safe. I don't think you can control who you fall in love with, you can try to, but I think you will just end up feeling miserable.

"You can close your eyes to the things you do not want to see, but you cannot close your heart to the things you do not want to feel."

What is your definition of love? Do you believe in true love? I'm curious ^^
