Love Bug

It's the first day of the Love Month and I am spending it on my deathbed. Oh, the irony.

Since it is February, I'll indulge myself to talk about love and romantic shiznit. So, let me lay out my views on love (yes, you'll definitely read lots of this word in this entry, so if you are cringing right now, you might as well leave this page and stalk someone else).

First, I believe that love should be all about understanding and acceptance. You know what they say about seeing beyond your partner's faults? That one is true. Every person in love would understand this. It is like the saying "love is blind" but not quite. It is more of acknowledging your partner's shortcoming and accepting it in a way that will not sway you from reality. I mean, if you really love a person, you would embrace his/her whole humanity. Besides nobody's perfect, right?

Second, there's no half-measure in love. Go all out. You might lose yourself in the process, but you know what? That's when you'll learn to love your own person. And when you learn that, that's when you'll be able to love someone with all your existence. Sounds romantic? Of course.

Third, love is love. There are different stages and kinds of love. The bottomline is, it is still love. If you believe and if you truly feel as if it is love, then who are to tell you that it is not? Besides, what love is not true?

Fourth, all is fair in love and war. However, you must remember that there are rules, whether written or not, in war. What more in love? BUT! You must also remember that some rules are meant to be broken in order to find and to get the person you love. It's just a matter of timing and how far you will go for the sake of love.

Last, all of these are purely relative. You might agree or disagree with me. You may deem my beliefs illogical or whatever. It's up to you. And yes, please do entertain me. What do you think about love?
