What really is Love?

I always had questions in mind about love. I already know that love is about caring and protecting the person very important to you. But is that enough? How can you make a person really feel it? Are saying the words enough? It's like there's something missing, something I really want to know about it but can't explain. What does it really mean to love? I'm so happy that just when my heart is looking for the answers, I came across Ate Ivy's blog and found what I really need to know. I will quote some of my favorite parts. You can see the whole post here.

If you love someone, ask them for nothing. Don't hold them back from their destiny. Don't keep them from going off in search of their own answers. Don't ask them for commitment. You will know commitment is real when it is something given willingly, and not as something obligatory. Don't ask them for promises. If you are patient, if you have faith, you will know in your heart when the right time for promises has come.

By setting a person free, you run a risk of them not returning. But always remember that you found them beautiful precisely because they were free. People are like sunlight. You can feel their warmth, and their glow, but you can't hold them in your hand and keep them with you forever. People CHOOSE to stay. But a choice is made more meaningful when it is made despite so many other options. Love has no restrictions and it is through mistakes that sometimes we see the right answer. Because if you love someone, you ask them for nothing and they will come back to you.


Thanks, ate Ivy for sharing it with us. ^___^ Now I understand love better.
