Love makes the world go round. That’s what a lot of people say. And it’s probably true. Love is a very complicated word. Its definition fluctuates from one person to another. It could vary depending on the situation. And it could never, ever be the same. That I’ve proven because every love story differs.



Some say true love is when everything is perfect. When you are “truly” in love, everything falls into place. It’s not exactly true. Two people could be in a very difficult position but truly love each other. Maybe eventually things will fall into place but factors may condemn the relationship considering the circumstances around them. Marriage can prove my statement. In marriage, love is not a necessity. Marriage and love are totally different things. One can marry someone else for social security or for any other reason. Some say you have to think about the future in marriage. And plenty consider love as a consideration at that point. You have to mull over other factors in life. So you can’t just live with just love, to marry just because of love for that matter. There’s your financial problems, medical problems, educational problems and the list goes on. Some say true love conquers all. This may be true at some point. But living in a cruel world such as ours, it is quite difficult to live with just love.



My description of love is not exactly being happy, but being happy because you make someone else happy. To love is to feel exhilarated whenever you are with that someone else, whether be it your mom, dad, siblings, your “better half,” or anybody else. Your ways of doing this may vary but nevertheless its purpose is the same. I think money makes the world go round but love gives harmony to everything else. People, like me, who try define love journeys an impossible path. An endless struggle because nobody can actually define it.



So what is true love? I can’t answer that. But one thing’s for sure, true love isn’t true love if only one person feels it.
