Yes, this is my 1000th post! And I'm going to shower it with love. :)
Came across a really amazing passage about love yesterday, so decided to share it with all of you! It's very meaningful. ^^
Love is a temporary madness.
It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides.
And when it subsides you have to make a decision.
You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part.
Because this is what love is.
Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement,
it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion.
That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away,
and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground,
and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches,
we found that we were one tree and not two trees.
-St. Augustine
I fell in love with this passage the very minute I read it. It is so so true, and this is what a true love is. Not excitement, not passion, but needing each other in a way that 2 persons become so intertwined and in the end turn into one. :)
Another great quote that I found. ♥
Again, so very true.
If you can easily fall out of love with a person, then I really doubt if you have been really in love.
"I love you" is so often overused and abused. Sometimes I wonder if the person who says it really know what he/she is talking about, or they have mistook the moment of fancy/admiration/passion as "love".
So pls only say "I love you" when you really mean it, never say it to satisfy someone else. And if you do mean it, tell that person ALL THE TIME. So he/she will know that you care. ♥
Love is such a deep abyss, you fall into it and you will keep falling for a very very long time. So don't worry, you'll have enough time to figure out what to do while you're happily falling. :)
