Love
Lydia Fernandez
What is love?
Is it some sickly infatuation? Is it a dedication to another being? I
have always wondered what love is or what it could become. Love
has many layers and many meanings. It also is a struggling thing
that can be given a bad reputation. So what is love?
Love is more than just some sappy romance between a prince and
princess. Love is more than a fairytale. Love is…complicated. It‟s
that warm bubbling feeling that fills you up. It‟s that smile which
tugs at the corners of your lips even when your day is not the best.
It‟s that electric feeling which raises your spirits and brightens your
day.
But love is not only a thing that two people share in a relationship.
Love can be for everyone, for your family, friends and even
household pets. You could have a passion from an activity or a
school subject, a passion for dancing or playing an instrument.
That doesn‟t mean love can‟t be more than that. In my opinion, love
is a beautiful and pure thing. It‟s ice cream on a summer‟s day. It‟s
that laughter you can‟t hold in. Most of all it‟s the light at the end of
the tunnel, and the undertone that keeps your day going. It‟s a
dream, inspiration and a feeling that is intangible by the horridness
of the world.
Love is love, and that‟s all that matters.
