Love

 Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to day to witness literary masterpiece unfold...

 Now that we're in the mood, let's talk about love. I know it's a sensitive topic to talk about, just like Bruno but hear me out.

Love can take many forms from a head-over-heels crush to burning lust and passion, Stockholm syndrome to mere infatuations. Be that as it may, I think love in all it's essence is inexplicable to say the least. So how do you tell if that burning desire and yearning for someone you're feeling is genuine love or some other form of the general term. I think that when you know, you just know, you know? I think it's also worth noting where said burning is being experienced- if it's in your loins, take a shower or something or put out the fire however you see fit, dealer's choice really.

In my opinion, the 3 word bombshell, and I don't mean Here We Go, or funga mlango kwanza- sorry boys, doesn't have to be a fifth date thing or the closing remark in your one year anniversary. Sometimes all it takes is a single conversation to firmly conclude without any reasonable doubt that there's something there and you'll be a fool to ignore it.

To my point of love being virtually inexplicable I think it's God's most beautiful, most complex gift to mankind- after women of course. Sometimes I find trying to understand love purely pointless. Its just easier to just feel because frankly what else do we have to offer each other besides unconditional love and support. 

Selena Gomez said and I quote " You could break my heart in two, but when it heals it beats for you". That probably is the title of the book on paradoxes but it makes more sense to me than math. Here is what I mean, you could be mad at your partner, furious even but at the same time only their warm embrace will make you feel better. In a way it's like trusting someone with the launch codes to your sanity, giving them all access VIP passes to all parts of you, light and dark. Its the trust that conquers any harbored insecurities, its the trust that keeps you going but most importantly, its the love that keeps you sane. Just the comfort of knowing that someone's got your back no matter what is an underrated blessing. You could be having the worst day in the history of bad days but still smile your way through it all because you know what's waiting for you when you get off work. 

Sometimes you want to kill your person because let's face it, no one gets on your last nerve like the one you hold dearest. Other times you want to squeeze them simply because they are adorable you want to cry. I looked this up, its called gigil tagalog. Sometimes when you listen to them talk you just zone out lost in the allure that is their eyes. 

What we can all agree on is its one super fun ride full of laughter, tears, mistakes and without a doubt totally worth it.

PS: You owe me a penny for my thoughts.
