What Is Love? Baby, Don't Hurt Me.

This post may get a little...off topic at times because I always have a lot to say about love. But the general ide of this post is "Do we ever love someone fully?"



When we fall in love we tend to believe that the person we are in love with has no flaws, and I'm sure, looking back we can all pick out MANY flaws in those we used to be in love with. What I believe really happens is that we fall in love with the parts we do like and forgive the flaws. So this brings to mind the question "Can we really be in love with people we don't know?"



I, personally, believe we can. By people we don't know I do mean celebrities or people you meet through letters or over the internet. We fall in love ith what we're presented with. With a piece of that person. And though that might not be as much of the person we would know if we met them in real life and spent time with them, it's still the part of them they wish to show. Even when we do meet someone and spend time with them and get to know them there is a layer that no one is allowed into. That person shows you what they want you to see and that's all you can see. So is there really a difference?

What do we lose over the internet and letters? Physical appearence? So? That may be important to some people but I've always fallen in love with personality before appearence. And once I do love the personality I fall in love with appearence. Internet and letters may be better anyway. People are much more themselves when not face to face with someone because the fear of hurt and rejection and judgement are intensely lessened. And we lose the sound of one's voice. Again that doesn't seem to ba a massive factor in falling in love.

So why are those who date over the internet made fun of so much? Maybe because those who have not experienced blind love are ignorant to the bliss of it? Maybe because those who do ridicule people on the internet are alone themselves and therefore are jealous? I don't know the reason, but I don know that falling in love is pretty easy if you find just the right person. And if you trust that person and if that person makes you happy then does it matter where you meet them and how long you know them? Isn't that the basis of love? Of any relationship really?

And, back to the topic, of course we only get a piece of the person on the internet or through letters, but we prolly get more and a truer piece of the person over something that shields us than in real life where people are scared and generally fake.

Personally I don't care where the person is or who the person is as long as said person makes me happy and feels the same. That's what really matters in any relationship. And I love being in love ♥
