What's on your mug?

sidenote::: first i have to say this: the pictures that are meant to describe love, dont at all. people making out doesnt prove theyre in love. everyone makes out. it doesnt mean much in our modern day society so why are we using it as a symbol of something so great? 1. 3 types of love. a.eros- "erotic" definition: love based on physical appearance when you eros-love someone, you give to recieve, and dont recieve. this type of love is much like lust but lust is not a type of love it is an infatuation. 2.phileo-"brotherly love" deifinition: love based on common interests or bonds when you phileo-love someone, its a relationship where you give to recieve. 3. agape- "unconditional love" definition- literally translated means charity. loving someone/something on no conditions(no matter what) when you agape-love, you give for the sake of making the other person happy. because you truly want the best for them. you have no intentions of recieving. 2. "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps record of no wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." - 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 3. The single most important, longed-for, wonderful, perfect emotions that are possible to feel. "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." - 1 Corinthians 13:13

We think about it, sing about it, dream about it,lose sleep worrying about it. When we don't have it; we search for it; when we discover it; we don't know what to do with it; when we have it; we fear losing it. It is the constant source of pleasure and pain. But we can't predict which it will be from one moment to the next. It is a short word, easy to spell, difficult to define, impossible to live without

in love with the sound of her own voice.

Love is patient; love is kind and envies no one. Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude; never selfish, not quick to take offence. Love keeps no score of wrongs; does not gloat over another's sins, but delights in the truth. There is nothing love cannot face; there is not limit to its faith, its hope, and its endurance. In a word, there are three things that last forever: faith, hope, and love; but the greatest of them all is love.

1 Corinthians 13

Giving someone a gun, letting them point it at your heart, and trusting them not to shoot...

"I'm trusting him not to shoot our love, I hope my trust is in the right person..."

none of these definitions that I have read are a true definition of love that is infatuation, obsession, lonliness, despair, or any combination of the above love ISN'T when you want or need to be with them every second of the day love IS when the time you spend with them is perfect, and the time you spend apart is equally as good love ISN'T when you depend on them and your whole life revolves around them love IS when they are a perfect addition to your life, it doesn't make everything else seem perfect, it makes everything else bareable and manageable they help you grow as a person, and make you a better person and feel better about yourself and life in general love ISN'T when you hate saying goodbye love IS when you see "goodbye" as the possibility of saying "hello" all over again love DOESN'T cover their flaws love DOES show their flaws for all they are, but you love their imperfections, cuz it makes them who they are, and you love and accept them for everything they are love grows and encourages growth love isn't perfect but it's always close love, real true love, is the best thing that will ever happen to you

most people will never even meet that one other person in the world that really loves them let alone love them back
