Loyalty
Consideration
Respect
Accountability
Trust
Honesty
Essentially, these attributes are what we yearn for in our companion, but often times our loved ones fail or fall short of adequately fulfilling these adjectives at all times. Yet it's within the fulfillment and failures that we observe love.
Love is one of the most perplexing emotions because it embodies an array of other emotions while simultaneously transcending them. Love is pain, joy, despair, elation, etc… at any given moment.
However, love is more than a series of varying emotions at any one moment.
Love is being committed to your significant other through these emotions. So in essence, love is despite itself.
Commitment and strength through love is love.
Although commitment through love is love, one should understand that love should be void of extremes. Because love, as previously described, is a series of emotions, any concentration of particular emotions should be observed cautiously.
For example, if your love can be described as predominately negative, this is a red flag that it may be unhealthy. Conversely, if your love can be described as predominately positive, you should question its legitimacy.
Loving a companion is one of the most difficult tasks known to mankind wherein two completely and beautifully unique individuals attempt to make two souls unite. Understandably, during this unification conflict and disagreement are to be expected. In situations where this is absent, one should question the sincerity of this unification.
On a personal note, my life has forced me to confront the issue of love on to many occasions.
Demanding that I give it the thought in which it undoubtedly deserves.
On occasion, love has forced me to submit, enslaving me in one instant, then forcing me to leave the next. Love has embraced me with open arms and then turned its back on me.
Yet despite all the ordeals that it has placed me in and put me through, I want love to know I still love it.
In whatever fashion or figure it wishes to present itself to me in, I wont ever give up on love.
You taught me patience, to care, compromise and how to allow myself to be vulnerable.
You are beautiful even in your perceived imperfections, for those imperfections provided me a window in which to peer into myself, for which I'm grateful.
It appears that in today's excess society we often relegate time to address pertinent issues of self and replace it with more immediately gratifying substitutes.
I implore you all to think more complexly and dedicate additional time to issues such as love and where it exists in your reality.
