What is Love?

I’ve recently started a project on love and marriage to challenge my own understanding on why i’m such a hopeless romantic. With many of my peers taking years abroad and already considering career paths, why am I so hell bent on falling in love, buying a flat, getting a dog and living happily ever after?

Telling someone I loved them for the first time was possibly one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. I think all along I knew it, but it’s one of those things you have to say out loud. “Look, I’ve said I love you, now it’s floating around… out there in the sky.”

Do you try and wait for the right moment to tell someone you love them? 

When I think of what love is to me, the best way to put it is: say your life is a bunch of spinning porcelain plates and each plate is something different, like a different issue, the feeling of love is basically giving someone some of your spinning plates and you take some of theirs, but it’s all okay and all the plates keep spinning and none of them break. 

Obviously love can be a trillion different things. The measures of love can change, such as how we love family, friends, our pets and… inanimate objects I guess? Nonetheless I believe that telling someone you love them for the first time is incredibly hard. 


Just a thought.
