what is love?

A very special person in my life told me to blog about "love" as my first post as I was literally smashing my brains out to come up with an appropriate topic as my first post..

With that said, here's what I think about "love"..

I'm honestly a firm believer in the saying that the word "love" has become way way way too over-rated. Those four letter words get tossed around so often that one might start to doubt whether or not the person saying it to them really means it.

In my opinion, there are two sets of people in this world.

Side A, a set of people who only say those words when they truly mean it. When they feel they're mentally and emotionally (perhaps even physically) ready to endure what lies before them as soon as the words "i love you" escapes from their feeble mouths into the ears of their significant other.

Side B, on the other hand, depicts a set of people who just say those words at their own free will; not thinking of the outcome. These people, perhaps, are not in love with their significant other. On the contrary, they're simply in love with, let's face it, love itself.

So how can one really tell identify the difference? That's the sad part, right there. You can't. You can never be certain of whether or not it's pure love, or, pure lust. Which is a case that has become quite rampant in our current society.
