To love

The definition given to love: "A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness."

Love is an emotion that all humans strive for...it's part and part a core detail of our DNA. We all want to be loved and to love someone in return. But do we really know what love is? Surfing the web there is ample material to cover love and all it's wondrous parts; numerous definitions of love that make it the most clear yet the most obscured emotion. During this month of love we are continuously faced with the commercial face of love and all the romance and sparkle that go with it. I've always felt that the world is too quick to place a tag on love; to define it to the nth degree. I've always believed that love has no real definition...it has never had a little set box to fill. In all the many forms that love takes it always has a way of creating a new form to it.
To me love is something that changes all the time...with every new day and every new situation it evolves and becomes something new. The core feeling of love remains the same but with each passing day it changes.There are no set rules that it follows...no path that it takes to it's destination. To different people love means different things...and just because it does not fit the mould doesn't mean it's not the real deal. To love someone is to have a unique connection with them...it's something that can never be duplicated. It may be true that the symptoms of love have a recognizable signature but I believe that love itself has no mark.

Love is still one of our worlds little mysterious...it has been around since the dawn of time but it is still shrouded in the unknown.
