todays love it realy pointless,
i mean but that people often go by how the look or what possessions they have.
it should be about personality, but most people forget about that.
for me, love or romance is not for me.
love is when you accept them for who they are, when you love them unconditionally and even after everything bad you’ve both gone through you can still look at them and know that you wouldn’t change a thing
We all want to fall in love. Why?
Because that experience makes us feel completely alive.
Where every sense is heightened,
every emotion is magnified,
our everyday reality is shattered
and we are flying into the heavens.
It may only last a moment, an hour, an afternoon.
But that doesn’t diminish its value.
Because we are left with memories
that we treasure for the rest of our lives.
Love is when you really like someone n they like you bk
I remember reading this a while ago and came across it again today. Sometimes the answers we need in life are found through the simple perception of children. I love this.
