Love's HIGH & low

Love is an emotion of a strong affection and personal attachment. It may refer specifically to the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love, to the sexual love of eros, to the emotional closeness of familial love, to the platonic love that defines friendship, or to the profound oneness or devotion of religious love, or to a concept of love that encompasses all of those feelings. 

This is how wiki defines L-O-V-E.

Love's definition, somehow, varies from person to person; it usually depends on how and how much a person received love and how his/her love is being received. People may regard love differently, but sure thing is we live because we love and we are loved.

Love comes in different forms; the love you feel towards your family, friends, possessions, place, work, career, hobby, yourself and someone or whatever else you love. And hey when we talk about love, you will always have this special spot in your brain about ‘the one’. There is always this someone, a love to special someone. And you may admit it or not, this kind of love is the rarest love of all. In my case, I do admit it. No point of denying, it’s obvious, very obvious. Haha :D 

This kind of love makes you high. It makes you happy and inspired. Science says it has the same effect on the brain as taking cocaine. Oh well, this explains my being euphoric all the time. Parang adik lang!

Why do we feel good when we are in love?

Hmmnn.. We usually connotes whatever we feel emotionally as something as matter of the heart. But truly and scientifically, this has something to do with how our brain processes and reacts with hormones and chemicals.

When in love, you feel good and may be happiest mainly because of Dopamine and Serotonin. The combination of the two makes you feel exhilarating. Dopamine, released by the hypothalamus, stimulates ‘desire and reward’ by triggering an intense rush of pleasure. It also increases your energy and makes you need less for sleep and food. While Serotonin, released in the gut, contributes to feelings of well-being and happiness.

Well then, lemme’ say… Oh boy, I love you with all my hypothalamus and gut. Yayks! Sounds gross but that’s the truth. Whatever we feel, it’s all in the brain not at heart.

Babababababbbbuuuuttttttt….

If love is as exciting as a circus ride, why does some affair ends?

If it gives both the lover and the loved one a ‘high’ feeling of bliss, why does some relationship fails?

At the start, lovers can’t get enough of each other, but why do they end up saying bad things about their relationship?

It is sad when you hear heaven-made (or you thought so) relationships turned sour. Much worst if it was yours.

As we live, we continually give love and receive love. It is in loving that we are living. To love with all one’s heart and one’s whole being is the greatest human capacity, I believed. It is in loving that we find meaning of life. It is in loving that we are motivated to work. It is in loving that we survived even the impossible and hardest battles in life. It is in loving that we smile. It is in loving that we help. It is in loving that we care. It is in loving that makes what and who we are what and who are.

If loving is all these good things; why do we have to feel pain? Why does pain have to break in?

Because life is life. You have to taste all the flavors to savor life's goodness.

"NINDOT MAN SAD NG MAKAAGI KA'G BATI NA RELATIONSHIP PARA KUNG MAABOT NAJUD ANG RIGHT ONE, MAS MA APPRECIATE NIMO, MAS MA VALUE NIMO."

~quote & quote from PeanutBitter.

I paused for a while and think over the quoted line above. Somehow, it’s true. How will you know the best if you haven’t seen the worst?

At some point of our life, we loved and been hurt or we are loved and we hurt. 

You may be hurt so much before, but that doesn't give you the ticket to hurt someone who loves you now.

Be not be bitter with love. For its purpose is not to soiled you but to give your life a color. 

Love stories are not the same all the time as lightning doesn't strike the same place twice. If you have been hurt, maybe it is now your time to be loved genuinely. Don't hold back. Be brave to take risks. And if you love the love that loved you, appreciate it! Say something. Yes, I agree to "Action speaks louder than words". But I tell you, words without actions are sometimes confusing. Love, no matter how secure it is, also needs reassurance from time to time. It is not only action nourishes the relationship, words also do! 

Live. Love. Laugh.

Even if I don't believe in destiny, it sometimes seems that certain things are meant to be. Like how I met him. Haha. It was never planned. But I'd like to believe that it was written in the stars.

I thanked God for directing my way to cross his path. Echus!

After those low blows, I am now on high! yeah! adik.

Thanks Inspiration!
