What Is Love - Tumblr Posts
3 am sleep deprived stories pt 1:
He soared through the skies, as you strolled through the maple-scented hallways that nature herself had created for you, for that very day. He drew out his bow. Taking a deep breath, he took his shot. The arrow quivered through the clouds as if shaking with a determination to hit its mark. It pierced through two hearts. Yours, and a heart that was meant for someone else. He looked down upon you as he realized what he had done. A moment that was meant to be perfect, a moment that would have been met by the same euphoria every living moment of your life, but oh dear, what had he done?
---------
Oh, how he pulled and tugged at the arrow that tied your and your other's heart together. But it was stuck deep, embedded into your soul. A tree that was meant to grow tall, bloom the most fragrant flowers, and bear fruits dripping with the very essence of saccharin. It was no longer a tree, but a weed, its vicious stem protruding from your vessel, digging its poisonous roots into your heart and slowly sucking out every drop of your life. With each pull, you screamed, screamed out to the void, and cursed the universe that had condemned you with such pain. He could not bear to see you in such pain. Tears of boiling hot mercury streaming down his face, he gave one last pull. The arrow ripped aout of your chest, tearing away part of your soul. You cried out in agony one last time. Then you breathed a sigh of relief, and as you opened your eyes you saw him. His eyes filled with sorrow, Cupid looked up at you and could only muster up the courage to say, "I'm sorry."
Oh you, God's creation, won't you give him another chance?
Notes:
- some areas could def use work but i dont feel like it so yeah
- wrote this while listening to cupid by fifty fifty, i dont usually listen to these types of songs but holy mother of god this is a good song
So I went on my 1st REAL date today after 4 years of being a hermit crab and only taking my baby out places. Aaaand I'm not going to lie this dude is shocking me and coming at me at ALL angles with impressivness. However im internally scared and nervous. Like the old saying goes, "if its to good to be true....then it most likely is." And that means to RUN! Then there is the last thing my old neighbor said to me before she died, "it doesn't matter how long you've been together with someone, YOU WILL NEVER REALLY KNOW THAT PERSON." And it hit home with me because this society has gotten so self absorbed/selfish/ and greedy and narcissistic that the person you spend your life with could be withholding old ass skeletons in their closet they will take to their graves and you will have been played and manipulated a d never really loved all that time. Yet they smiled in your face all those years and had no trouble with sexing you though right? So its all those deep around the clock thoughts that made me keep to myself and made me terrified of opening back up to humans. But this new prospect has me deep thinking about actually wanting to be open to a "relationship" plus he's uber attractive. He has dimples even!😣😤😩 lord knows im a sucker for dimples! Whats worse for me is I dont know if he is God sent and actually someone im supposed to open up to and let in, OR if he's demon sent and just another narcissist trying to charm his way into my life to take advantage of me. 🤔😫😖 and not knowing the end result, not being a psychic to see that far into the future drives me crazy.😭😓 all I know is he's THE 1ST MAN that actually made me nervous, he called me out on my sped up heart rate when he asked to hold my hand, AND again when he noticed me trembling. no man Has EVER made me do that before! I'm stunned! What does that even mean? What if he's the one? What if im supposed to open up to him? Oh geez there goes that big fat floating "WHAT IF".
baby don't hurt me
Don't hurt me
No more
what is love? (Romantic)
Baby I'm genuinely asking
Like I'm being serious
Please help
Sometimes I really wish I had the force
Like yeah it would be cool to levitate shit and all but tbh I'd probably use it to get myself snacks without getting off the couch and win a prize every time I play at claw machines.
What is love?
Love is when the one who loves you stares at you for a few seconds before saying "I love you".
Love is when you wake up excited to be alive at the same time as the person you love.
Love is recognizing the face of your loved one as the fingerprint of love and eternity.
Love is caring about the interests of your loved one.
Love is not worrying about what you want to say to your loved one, because you know they’ll never judge you.
Love is when at every moment you want to learn more from your loved one.
Love is not measured.
Love is understanding and trying to understand.
Love is unconditional.
Love is fearless.
Love is powerful.
Love is timeless.
Love is unconsciously demonstrated if it is present.
Love is above all things.
Love is giving without expecting anything in return.
Love is crying just for the sake of it
Love is laughing too much.
Love is wanting to be in the good and the bad.
Love is wanting to try what scares you with the person you love.
Love is having been thinking about someone while you were reading this poem.
It's been a long time since I wrote anything at all... I want to try doing it again. Love feels like a faraway concept for now.
I wanna know 세상이 다 아름답다는데? ^^

have you ever been in love?
interesting question anon !! if my notes app/journal could speak she would say most definitely HAHA.
been going through a lot recently so i've had to love myself a lot more than i have in the past. i've also had to rely a lot more on my sister, friends, and family. but if you're referring to romantic love yes most definitely!
this one gets a little long so feel free to read under the cut:
I found love in a stranger's knowing smile as I held my lover's hand, I found love when the sun rose and kissed her face, I found love in the crook of their neck as they held me, I found love in the sound of their laughter as we tickled each other to tears, I found love in the cold press of her feet against me, I found love while releasing lanterns in a game for her, I found love as we were trapped in a bakery's bathroom, I found love in the way her eyes warm as they met mine, how her smile or the thought of her could brighten my day, I found love as my lover told me the summer sweat of mine somehow managed to smell sweet, I found love in the way I had to slow my steps to match her pace, I found love every time we fought to be heard and understood, I found love in her presence, absence, even the thought of her was love.
I was very much in love with a woman. she was everything. thank you for letting me speak about her.
BLah
I thought that I was really in love with you.
But, lately I found out that it was a temporary feeling. I never loved you. You've always left me disappointed, confused and obsessed.
Why obsessed?
Because, I have never loved you. I don't know you. I love the idea that I created of you. It's hard to realise it, in fact, I took too long to understand this. I could have ended everything since the beginning and I wouldn't have been here worrying about stupid feelings. I'm obsessed with the idea that I created of you. The you that doesn't exist. A dangerous guy, with anger issues that hates everyone except me.
And I told him: Look, I've been playing with you from the beginning and I don't love you.
I didn't talk to him from that day. But I think of him even if I don't know him. Does this have an explanation? Is there a philosopher who has got theories that are going to help me discover what I'm feeling? I've studied for years philosphy and psychology but I never seem to understand myself. I am a big mess.
I've went to different psychoanalysts but they found no way of comforting and helping me.
I've read thousands of books, specifically romance books, but do you know how bored they have made me? They annoy me now. But I continue reading them. They're full of fantasies and utopic worlds but I so believe them, I don't know how to get out of that illusion.
How do I turn off my reasoning and consciousness? I want to disappear. I want to be free. I want to live with someone that I truly love.
How do I learn how to love? Is there someone that teaches this? Are there theories or books that talk about this?
I want to know how to actually ,love someone with all my heart and to get to know that person for everything they have and possess and follow them till they die because that's what my mission needs to be. I want to be there for someone till the day I die. Is there a way to find this? Is there a way to believing in love? I'm desperate to know.
But you know what puts me in a crisis? That is understanding love. From what I've understood about myself, I am a person that views love as a love with violence and aggression, sacrificies and problems, imperfections and perfections, optimistic point of views and cosy touches, physical connection, spiritual connection, sexual touches, sweet words and harmful words that push you to hate the person you "love" and finally hating yourself for loving them.
How can I think this way? Who do I think I am? A goddess?
What if I got to know this guy and actually fell in love with him, what would really happen?
I would be desperate and heartbroken and hate myself for falling for somebody that I don't deserve and that I shouldn't waste my time with and not waste my life for neither energy. I would hate myself for falling for someone who isn't who I idealised. This is unacceptable.
I wanna be free. I wanna love someone and suffer forever. You know what I want to suffer because that's what I live for. That's how I've learnt to survive. I have been raised with violence and anger issues and problems. I need someone that treats me how I think he should treat me.
I don't know how my idealised man is. I have no idea how he is. I literally don't know. Like can you imagine that I wrote this whole story and bullshit for something that I don't really know or believe or think or reason about, oh my god I am truly crazy. I talk noonsense. I am a bullshiter and I accept it. Thank you for today.

I am so scared of love that i'd rather eat pineapple pizza. Don't get me wrong; I love love, but it's just scary. The thought of it almost makes my stomach turn
love of my life (romantically) jaaye tel lene pehle mujhe love of my life (platonically) toh mile
I feel a bit uneasy when people say they love me, especially romantically. It's hard to believe because I know how messed up I am beyond repair. I'm good at giving but not so great at taking, probably because I never learned how. When someone professes love, I find myself questioning what exactly they love. Is it genuinely me or some made-up version? Do they love who I am or just the nice side of me? Is it authentic love or just attraction? Do they love me, or the concept of me? Is it about the things they can't have? Is it by accident or are there conditions? Do they love the real me or just the image I project? It's a puzzle to unravel.
What Is Love?
Most people love out of necessity or gain, i.e. "I need you.", "Without you I am nothing.", etc. This is not love. This is usury. It is all about self. True love is selflessness; to give of one's own self for the betterment of another. Another expression of love is helping someone be who they want to be, not who you want them to be.
Love is something that cannot be depleted. You can literally love yourself and every other person in the universe and never run out of love. So, why not share love w whomever, whenever and using whatever expression. Love is pure and cannot be qualified, quantified or made exclusive. Love cannot be given, taken away, bargained for or coerced. To give love to only one person or to expect one person to love only you, to whatever degree, is to withhold love from everyone else to that degree, which is a selfish and unloving act. It is good and right to share as much love in every manner that we can and are allowed to express.
Everything in the universe is quite literally connected on a sub-atomic level. Ironically, what binds us is what we usually think of as what separates us: space. The particles in our bodies are bound to all other particles in the universe by the space between them. So, we are truly all one thing. Think about it this way. When a drop of water is placed in a larger body of water, where is that drop of water now? In the same way, we are part of the universe's topologically. It's mind boggling to know that your particles are bound to mine and every other person; every animal; every tree; every blade of grass; every cloud; every part of every continent; our oceans; our moon; every planet; every solar system; every galaxy. We are the universe.
Try as we might, we can only isolate through human perception. In that matter never dies and that time is merely a human perception, we have known and will continue to know each other for eternity. We are truly related, which goes to explain another bit of rhetoric that we are all "brothers and sisters". Until now no one really knew why. They simply "felt" it. But we are quite literally related to everything in the universe. Since love is an integral part of the universe those that don’t isolate cannot help but feel the love of the universe emanating through us. As humans we understand this as "I love you" when, in fact, we are simply experiencing love in its simplest form.
My dissertation on "A Grain of Truth" speaks indirectly to the clarity and obfuscation of love.

WHAT IS LOVE IF GOD ISNT IN IT?
The heart is deceitful...Everybody wants the truth but can't handle it/ everybody tells lies and can't manage them...... our society suffers from a bad case of cognitive dissonance....people will stay claiming that they're really real but when the truth hit they deny it disregard it dont question it or dont know how to feel/ people will stay claiming that their love is really real but let's be real they dont even know how true love really feels/ LOVE HURTS!/ Or atleast what we think is love hurts... especially if it wasn't how you expected to experience it!/ It shows up uninvited and presents itself as serious! I THINK IT'S FIERY PASSION! ITS LUST THAT IS THE WOLF IN LOVES CLOTHING!..Im starting to learn that If God wasn't put first in it then it don't matter/ I've seen it myself relationships around me always got shattered/ or get a bit hasty/ start off good then end crazy/ although that depends on the type of bond but failure never ceases to amaze me/ with how love last nowadays my thought is, "Will it last??"....MAYBE/ I want relationships for people to workout but they never do/ Im fully convinced that love today is rare, a narrow point of view in the eyes of only few..a lack or an absence of Gods point of view/ took a painful fall from grace/ I made some misguided decisions and big mistakes/ finding out it wasn't love shook my world, a cat 7 earthquake/ through Godless endeavors/ I crippled my own feathers/ I flew straight into the devil's DECIETFUL stormy weather/a trap that I thought was love was my lifes biggest error. I didn't ask for this...The heart is deceitful.
-Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World
i guess love is seeing anything even remotely close to someone and instantly thinking about them, like your eyes are always trying to find a piece of them in everything you see
