Yes it sure was.

My boyfriend of the past 13 months has made me more happy then I have ever been in my entire life. I'd be lost without him, I look forward to every minute we can spend together.

Love is when someone makes you happy, makes you feel good about who you are. It makes you feel like you are needed by someone, which makes you feel you actually do have a purpose being here.

Love can be the most confusing of feelings, but is the best of them all.

I'm lucky I havent lost someone I really am close to and love since I've been too little to remember. Whether it be by death or a breakup, or whatever. I'm so scared tho, of how bad it will be. It's like there's a few people in everyone's life that their lives just wouldnt be the same without. It's so scary, I get so upset just thinking about it.

I suppose I should just be thankful for what I have now, and enjoy it.

So sorry for blabbering on and on....

To strange_blaze and RiceKrispiTreat:

I'm glad there's an audience for heartfelt remarks.

Now, please kindly hide your eyes.

For the guys:

Love is: When you chance upon an unflushed toilet of some sizeable substance, and it can be none other than your forgetful significant other, you flush it with a sardonic smile and chuckle (instead of being grossed out).

That, from a real life experience...

Read this post I made in the thread about friendship, and read this, out of one of my books:

Quote:

Because females and males are physiologically different, they sometimes pursue different strategies, each to propagate its own hereditary line; and these strategies, while of course not wholly incompatible, introduce a certain element of conflict in the relations between the sexes. In many species of reptiles, birds, and mammals, the female produces only a small number of eggs at a time, perhaps only once a year. It then makes evolutionary sense for her to be discriminating in her choice of mates, and devoted to nurturing the fertilized eggs and the young.

The male, on the other hand, with plentiful sperm cells - up to hundreds of millions per ejaculation and the capability of many ejaculations a day in a healthy young primate - can often better continue his hereditary line through numerous and indiscriminate matings, if he can pull it off. He may be much more ardent and eager, and at the same time much more likely to drift from partner to partner - cajoling, displaying, intimidating, and impregnating as many females as possible. Moreover, since there are other males with identical strategies, a male can't be sure that a particular fertilized egg or hatchling or cub is his; why should he spend time and effort nurturing and raising a youngster that might not even carry his genes? The investment might benefit his rival's descendants and not his own. Better to be off fertilizing more females.

This is by no means an invariable pattern, though; there are species in which the female is eager to mate with many males, and there are species in which the male plays a major, even a primary, role in raising the young. Over 90% of the known species of birds are "monogamous"; so are 12% of the monkeys and apes, to say nothing of all the wolves, jackals, coyotes, foxes, elephants, shrews, beavers, and miniature antelope. However, monogamous doesn't mean sexually exclusive; in many species in which the male helps raise the children and provides care for the mother, he also is sneaking out for a little sex on the side; and she is often receptive to other males. Biologists call it a "mixed mating strategy," or "extra-pair copulation." As much as 40% of the young reared by "monogamous" bird pairs are revealed by DNA fingerprinting to have been sired by extramural encounters, and numbers almost as large may apply to humans. Still, the motif of nurturing females, who are choosy about their sex partners, and males given to sexual adventure and many partners is very widespread, especially among the mammals.

...Heinlein, he said it in a way that struck a chord.

I will paraphrase as I do not have the book to hand.

"Love is that condition wherein the welfare and happiness of another person means more to you than your own"

A hard one to meet, always, but it has served me well in my 20 years of marriage.

What is love? Baby don't hurt me. Don't hurt me. No more.

Sorry, it had to be done.

Whats love? But a second hand emotion...

Also had to be done.

Love. Ah, what a tricky subject. You cannot love something that cannot love you back. Someone said they love their guitar, when in fact they don't really love their guitar, but they really like it. You can love an animal, because it can return "love" back to you: a lick on the face, sitting next to you in bed, etc. You can "love" your guitar because the music that you make from it makes others feel good, and if that is what love is for you then that is the only way I can see that loving an inanimate object can return love, through others that have the ability to love.

A man always says "I think" while a woman always says "I feel." Our "views" on love can change based on society, but love is a feeling, and you can't dismiss it. It's just something you have to "feel" in order to "know." There's no "thinking" involved in love, it just happens.

i don't love my guitar because it makes others feel good, i love it because the sounds it makes make me feel good. and i also get a feeling of being complete when it's in my hands. you can have love for inanimate object, but i would say it is a different kind of love. but with both of them, you are a different person when you are around it.

Beatlejuice · 01-28-2004, 12:53 AM

I agree. Using any word other than 'love' to describe how I feel about my guitar(s) is an understatement. I don't love it in the same way that I love my mother, but I still insist on using the word love for my geetars. Especially ol' Washy.

Although this quote contradicts what I just said, I'll throw it out anyway. It used to be on my fridge: "If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you, it's yours. If it doesn't, it never was."
