Love is often blind when the electrifying sparks start flying. Then later as the hormones calm down, the fireworks run dim, and the smoke clears, you wonder is it love or lust.
Lust has to do with hormones and is instant and intense and usually ends as quickly as it began.
What is love, well that is complicated. We all have different views on what it is, so how do we know if we are right or wrong, we don’t, we go by how we feel.
Some people believe that love is instant and you will know they are the one the moment you meet them but others believe that is lust and that real love takes time.
In the book Kiss My Tiara by Susan Jane Gilman; she goes over a fairy tale myths: Fairy Tale #6 –True love is instant, you will know it the minute you see the person. –Nope, trust, communication and kindness take time to unveil and build.
So to that I say love is not a CupNoodle.
I once had a friend tell me what they though about love and I agreed with it. She told me that she makes more money, has more ambitions, more hobbies, and etc then her guy. That she does not need him but she wants him and those things do not matter since there are other reasons she is with him. They don’t have much in common but there is enough that keeps them wanting to stay together. Now they are engaged and she’s moving overseas to be with him. She is in the air force reserves and works for Boeing and he works at Costco in Japan. I wish the best for them!
Love isn’t about being completely compatible with each other. You don’t have to be completely compatible to live happily ever after; you learn to respect each other and their differences and learn to coexist. You accept a person for all their glory and flaws. You let them be them and support them anyway you can. That is love.
Real love is a two way street, if you feel like it's a one way and you are getting zero back then that is not love, but lust.
The heart has its reasons that reason knows nothing of.
