    Most of these answer the question “what does it mean to love/be loved” and NOT “to be IN love”. Those are two very different things. To love is always good. To be in love doesn’t even mean necessarily to be happy, and it’s not even necessarily the end game. The end game is to love and be loved and beware of being in love without loving/being loved.

    This is the issue I have. While all of these are beautiful definitions, love is not always glitz and glam. It can be to support and care for someone with a terminal illness, stay with someone despite being betrayed, wake up every day next to someone who has forgotten you due to amnesia or dementia. Love is not always so positive

  • @ladybentley1563
    @ladybentley1563 2 роки тому +3

    For me, being in love means having unconditional love for someone. I believe that liking someone/having a crush on someone is not the same thing as being in love. You can be attracted to someone, but not be in love with them! Being in love with someone means sacrificing your own needs and feelings for that person. It’s about learning to having trust and commitment, while knowing full well that you may be hurt at the end. It’s wanting to go through life with them no matter what happens, even if you face the worst. (like your partner bring in a coma, loss of a job, loss of money, your crush loving someone else, your spouse having amnesia, etc.) It may feel like having butterflies in your stomach at first, but later it will mature into something greater and the truth is most people aren’t committed enough to reach that point. It’s the feeling of going so far for them that you would die for them! And most importantly, it’s accepting and loving someone’s bad and good equally.
    It’s definitely a difficult thing, but I do believe some people can find it! However, it will never for a cake walk for anyone! Loving someone comes with time and maturity with them and/or oneself. However, take what was said with a grain of salt because everyone’s definition of love is different. Plus I’m honestly also still a teenager, so I don’t believe I have actually experienced these things. I don’t even think I’m qualified to even talk about it, since I don’t have the maturity to talk about it yet. However, this kind of love is a love that I want to feel with someone someday. I’m not ignorant to the pain it may bring, but wanting love that is true means accepting pain whether we like to admit it or not.

    Being loved means you known the person well enough like really known each other like a best friend and accept someone as they are with all flaws and mistakes. Also you are willing to give anything you have and can by sharing happiness. It means to understand each other well enough and feeling each other pain, happiness, sadness and joy. It also means being a communicator and being able to know each other well.

    To understand not every second with your partner is going to be perfect, yet want to take the best care of them as you can. To want the absolute best for them, even if it isn't the best for you. To accept them for their imperfections yet stay with them (not imperfections such as abusiveness). To think about them all the time, and miss them the second they walk out the door. To desire life with them. Love is in the little acts- picking wildflowers for them, making a letter for them, drawing them a picture, rubbing their back without needing to be asked, respecting their wishes, picking up a pretty rock for them, etc. Love is not a perfect feeling you have 24/7. Love is the truthfulness of who you are even when you're angry with them. Love does not throw them away when they disagree.
