Love could be a hoax, you know, something that mainstream tells you about and makes you believe. Love was something that was portrayed in movies, books, television, and religion; from there we mashed up a belief in something that inevitably would end in disappointment. Regardless of how we filled our hearts, hope never prevailed in "Love".
Life ends in death.
Relationships end in heartbreak.
Parents never live up to what they are supposed to be.
Children grow to disappoint.
Dreams disappear.
Goals get shattered.
God never shows up.
Friendships end.
Commitment ends in grudges.
Youth fleets too fast.
Love? What is Love? I mean, REAL Love... do you know? Do I know?
Let's look at what society deemed as Love.
We see indie kids fall in Love in movies all the time. New York backdrop and an awkward kid you always thought was cute but waited for him to make the move, it's all the same outfit. We see in church that pain can be fixed with "Love". Music tells us to never give up on "Love". Yet, we hear and want to feel Love in our real everyday life... but it never lives up to what movies, music, or the church deems it to be. In fact, some say Love made us vulnerable and eligible for pain. When we think we "fall in Love" are we making ourselves vulnerable (in that moment of time) to what the entertainment industry perceives love as? Are we being ignorant and falling for the same trick that pain plays on us in order to reel us into its familiar cycle?
Society tells us to what to Love whether it ranges from family, "soulmates", and dreams to goals, gods, hopes, and friends, there are examples of a broken consistency in every aspect of life.

(as of today) I can explain the meaning of Love like this... Love is a belief. Let me explain.
I struggle with the existence of God, but I acknowledge the fact that there is no fault in truly believing in the idea (him/her).
Love... works the same way.
We use Love as a way to aspire our lives to reach a certain happiness. Love can be something used to fill in the missing gap between your heart and mind or it may be a gap you are searching to fill in. Whatever brings your personal quest to find Love, there is one factor that can only make it true.
You have to have faith in Love for it grow and bloom, in the same way people have faith in God.
To me, Love is a belief, without faith... it is doomed. With faith, you can make the idea boundless and endless.
But what I truly know is real is Happiness. I believe in Happiness.
Maybe its simpler than what I thought...maybe Love is happiness,
Andrew

agreed.
you can always find happiness in love, but you should never rely on love to bring you happiness.
love is what we want to make it, its not set in concrete.
while happiness in general plays 100 percent off of our actions, and not 50 percent off somebody else's.
