Real Love

LouBelle

Every now and again I get a lil bee in my bonnet and I have to just blurt out stuff - so this one is on love.... So many types of love out there today. One can find it under any rock, in any nook...that is if you dont care what type of love you want, or the type of love you'll be giving. If you are looking for it, aim to never settle for nothing but the best, not for left overs or scraps. Perhaps I sound like I'm suggesting something which is unattainable, I don't think so. What I'm suggesting is a something bigger (some bigger picture / love) than most of us comprehend. A love that accepts everything about another person. A love that accepts all faults, all of everyting all of the time, even when something bad happens ...... one still needs to understand from where it comes and why. Put yourself in their shoes. Where is that kind of love today... We shouldn't be in a rush, fearing loneliness, fearing being left on the shelf, fearing father time ( us women tend to panic the older we get and still haven't found someone). Our world is in dire need of real love, not the superficial candy floss love that is so easily served up like fast food. Here's to love!

What you are talking about is "unconditional love"...pure and simple.

Not easy to attain, by all means...the ego gets in the way:-(

But attainable...

Love this post! I agree wholeheartedly. It's all to easy to let loneliness get in the way and accept something that isn't really what you want, so you are not alone anymore. I know for myself, I want a love that is passionate, a man I can lean on at times and vice versa, I don't always want to be the "strong one", lol. A love that's balanced, give and take, good and bad. But that is hard to find, should I settle? I don't think so for a moment. If I were to settle I am passing up the chance to the love I really desire. Frikkin forget that. LOL

And its true what you said about some women, we tend to think, I dont' want to be alone at 40 or 50 or 60. And that can lead to a world full of mistakes and misguided love. The moment you settle for less than you deserve, you get less than you settled for.

Loving someone isn't finding the perfect person, its seeing an imperfect one, perfectly. I love that quote, I think when you find that, you got the real deal.

i guess love is not the same thing to everyone. i say, love just is or it is not. no need to search for it or superficially create it. no need for give and take or any returns. if it's love... it's love.

I love this line, I think that's SO True, when you truly love someone, even their imperfections are something you can smile about and you wouldn't change a thing. It's hard to find, and sometimes when you do, it's not returned and you have to have enough respect for yourself to realise it's better to let that go than try and hang on to something that just isn't making you happy.

And when you find it, it changes your life, changes how you see the world,

It makes you feel safe, secure and at peace.

Love without fear...Love without expectations...Love without any strings

Feels wonderful when you give it away for free and feels like home when you receive it in return...

Makes me cry....

I would like to share some childrens' thoughts on love. They are very amazing.

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen."Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore.So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too.. That's love."Rebecca- age 8"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."Terri - age 4"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK."Danny - age 7"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget."Jessica - age 8"If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,"Nikka - age 6
