Theories on Love — Combating twitter hearsay
That’s the thing about romantic movies or fantasy romance. Cynics say that way of falling in love isn’t real because it lives in a fictional world. But every fictional world is interpreted and imagined based on someone’s reality, thoughts, and emotions.
In a society where serial dating is the go-to path for finding love, I wonder, can one ever find the path with so many roadblocks before them.
I believe that we come across the people we’re meant to in life, with that said, would that rule not apply to come across a deep love. They say when your searching for something, you never typically find it. In your frenzy of searching, you miss seeing that it’s been right in front of you the whole time.
My philosophy on dating is patience. If there is someone that piques your interest go for it, but like all our favorite movies and their meet ques, it’s often when your just living life that you find that person. So why can’t that be our truth? Often the stories of how two meet is not as out of this world as we deem so.
It can be as simple as two putting their passions first in life, and on that path of pursuing said passion, two end up in a common room, and the possibility for love is planted.
Different methods work for different people, maybe you’re a setup kind of person, who could thrive off a blind date, or you’re like me, and desire a great love full of passion, stories, but understand greatness doesn’t occur on a strict timeline. I deserve a great love, which means I deserve a patient love, and in the process of finding that love, patience is required of me.
At 21, I learn more about myself day by day, and it’s those lessons that deepen the relationship I have with myself. Cultivating a deep sense of who I am, and honoring myself in every action, word, and thought, prepares me to have something great. When you compromise your morals or feelings at the expense of losing someone, you place yourself in a relationship doomed for failure. You’ll never find true love when you aren’t being true to yourself.
Ask yourself this; Is it love if I hide who I am every time I speak? Is it love if a request is asked of me and I offer a response that goes against my morals? Is it love if deep down I am unhappy?
Find yourself, find love — love yourself, and prepare for something even greater.
