Love Is Unexplainable!
(I CHANGED DOMAIN SO THIS IS ACTUALLY A FEW MONTHS OLD AND REPOSTED)
Today I asked some people I know to describe how love feels to them or how they imagine it to be. I don’t believe any two of them gave me the same answer. I think that from what I’ve seen, love is unexplainable and unimaginable. It isn’t as black and white as the world thinks. Girls get upset when a guy can’t explain how much he loves them and a guy freaks out because the girl pours her feelings into a message, when all they were expecting was “a lot”. Love is complicated, unique and overall strange. People fight for love and to be loved, but it’s something that should be effortless and free. Not forced because then you must constantly maintain it. I’m sort of rambling now, so I’ll just show you what people told me, or didn’t.
“You feel like a little girl on Christmas morning all over again. The butterflies are unreal. You’re constantly thinking about them. You’d do anything to see, do or make them happy. You put them before yourself, ten times over. The feeling I get when I kiss her, like electric shocks shooting up my body, like little tingles.”

“I’d probably say the feeling of being safe and happy and wanting to spend every minute you can with that person, that’s love to me."

“So, love to me feels amazing, it’s the feeling of wanting to wake up in the morning knowing who loves you will be there when you wake up is what makes me want to get up. Love I guess makes you feel like you’re on cloud 9, like the best feeling in the world but like everyone says, “love hurts” and it does. You might love someone, but they might not show it or feel It back. It’s not real love unless you feel pain for the person. It’s a mixture of happiness and pain, but to me, you must find the middle ground so you can experience love the way it should be. Love goes both ways.”

“Love feels like you are completely comfortable with everything about the other person. Even thought you might not agree on everything or like the same things. You are fine with the other persons opinion because you love them. You can talk about anything and always want to hear what the other person has to say and not just talk about yourself. You think about them all day, even when you aren’t talking to them.”

“It’s just a feeling in your stomach, your heart, that something feels right about that person. It’s unexplainable, but when you feel it, you know what it is.”

“Love is doing whatever you can to make the person you adore smile because that’s the first thing you love about them. Not their looks, not their personality, doesn’t matter if it’s family or a life partner, the first thing you love to see from someone you care about is their smile. And love is doing whatever it takes to see them smile. You think about that smile so much that just imagining it makes you smile. But that’s just the start of it, from there it spreads. You end up loving their laugh that excites you to hear. Their eyes that pierce you with a single stare. Everything about them looks like gold to you. And you would do anything for them.”

“It feels like I want to be there and protect the one I love forever. Like the thought of them being with someone else burns me. Like I want to spend all day, every day in their company. Everything.”

Over time I’ll add more comments from people, I’m sure I’ll ask more people. But I'm going to try and describe love myself…
When I asked people to describe “love”, most assumed I meant IN love. But when I think of love, the first thing that comes to mind are my two gorgeous children. Hearing their laughter at bath time. Wiping their faces after dinner. Throwing them in air until they can’t scream any more. Watching my son get excited when he’s putting his shoes on. My daughter starting to crawl and ending up on the other side of them room too fast. When my son comes and gives me a kiss for no reason, making me feel like I’m important to him. That’s the love I have right now in my life.
When I imagine being IN love… It feels like home. When you’ve been rushed off your feet all day and you get home, take your shoes off, lay in bed and get to breathe in peace. That is a rush that just fills you. That’s how I imagine it. It satisfies and calms you. I’ve watched my mam and dad argue and then spend that night cuddled on the sofa after apologising because they can’t stand the thought of the other going to bed mad. THAT is love. My great nan still has my great granddad’s armchair in her living room, but no one sits in it. It’s her way of having him with her. THAT is love.
There are so many ways to describe love to other people. But I can sum it up in one word.
