I’ve been wanting to write about this since a very long time, but never really got the right words for it. It’s a feeling and sometimes, for something so pure, you just don’t have any verbal outlets. I don’t know if anyone else has shared their thoughts on Love on this forum, but please feel free to add on...I’m just opening up here and would absolutely love to see others do that too :)

Love can’t be described. Period. All my life I’ve just seen people telling me what love is all about, what expectations they have from it and why they get so upset by it, but not one person has ever realized they can never expect anything from an emotion...our actions are just our ego reacting. In the world of emotions, actions are just a way of emphasis...nothing else. Anger emphasizes by destructiveness, Sadness emphasizes its presence by silence and so on. But Love, what does love do? Nothing. It’s just calm, patient, never-ending and never goes away no matter what. Many of us don’t realize this, thus the loneliness. Love is the only emotion we can say we are born with. Sadness, Happiness, Anger, Lust etc are what we actually LEARN. Think about it.

Something that I have been constantly reading on this site and elsewhere since I’ve realized I’m a starseed is that no matter where you are, Love never leaves your side. It’s always there, you just have to accept it. The day you do that, you’ll never be alone! The biggest challenge of being a human is getting all wrapped up in something that in the Hindu religion is known as ‘Maya’. It’s a Sanskrit word meaning Illusion. The illusion being materialism, dualism etc., something that is highly common nowadays. It’s shocking to see how extremely disconnected people are with themselves that they can’t understand what Love is all about! Yet if someone happens to break-up, they’re automatically the ultimate Gurus to have ever lived, to explain to others what the ropes are! How is that possible, when so many are unaware about the true essence of Love??

I say all this not because I’ve never loved or I’m all-knowing in this matter...I say this because in this life, I’ve chosen to have a hard time keeping the people I love, around me, in many ways! In the process, I soon came to see, it’s not about what you don’t have at the moment...it’s about what you’ve always had and what you WILL always have. I’ve been through numerous broken relationships where I’ve loved so deeply that their leaving hurt...it would take a part of me away with them, forever. What I didn’t realize at that point was, they were taking a part of (unending) love with them :) So I’d end up in the throes of my pain (Not to mention the countless yells I’d get from my close ones trying to convince me that I’m the most naive and foolish person to ever be in existence). One day, I put my foot down and yelled right back, “I don’t care if people wanna walk away, I’m still loving them and no one can stop me!” My soul probably just needed to hear that out loud from me and then there was no turning back. Today, I still love the people who’ve hurt me, alot infact. (The people I’m talkin’ about include mostly friends and well, you know). I wouldn’t think twice if they were to ever come up to me and say, lets share a cup of coffee...I’d do it happily. I’ve never understood why I’m so fascinated with the concept of Love...but I know one thing, all the loving times I’d shared with them was the only reason that brought my love back for them...and ofcourse kept me going for more, so to speak.

My point being, once you start loving someone, nothing can take that away from you. If you’ve loved unconditionally, then it’s the purest form you’ll ever share...and that brings with it the perks...forgiveness and happiness :D That invariably also brings the energy to keep loving them forever! It’s all the happy moments that fill your heart, even when you know they may not be around or with you anymore. That explains why most mothers share this inexplicable bond with their children throughout life. On a sadder note though, it does breaks my heart immensely to see how easy it is now, for people to just walk away from love! Love is Money and Money is Love! That's disgusting!

Another thing I wanted to point out and I kinda find it hard to wrap my head around is...why are there tags even in Love?? Why do they call it Love between brothers and sisters, Love between a couple and so on? It just doesn’t make sense to me. When people don’t seem to understand the true essence of Love, who in the world gave them the right to put tags on it?! Is Love such a challenge that it needs references to be understood?! You were born loving your parents the second you set eyes on ‘em. You came from a place that understands Love and only Love. Then why the damn tags?? I’ve had many closed hearted people ask me, “Oh, how can you show so much love to X, Y and Z, when they’re just this, that and that to you?”....“Yeah, I have these compartments for everyone in me, you know. That’s how. So here’s your bit, now get lost.” It can be Maya, or whatever...but it still is annoying.

All one has to do is open their heart...don’t bother about what you will receive. Just bother about how much you can give without expecting anything in return. That will be the day, when more than half of your tags and illusions will just melt into nothingness and all that you will feel is an equal and unending peaceful connectivity with everyone in your life. I don’t say I’ve mastered it, I’m still learning and accepting alot of things on the way, but I have faith in my Love and so should you. :)
