Love is the most beautiful thing in the world. It makes us soft, inspired, driven, and alive. There are different forms of love — familial, friendly, and romantic. But for today, let’s talk about the latter. Romantic love is the kind of love we share with a partner whom we look forward to being with every single day of our lives. That one person we’re willing to go through ups and downs with. We can see little kids crushing on their playmates, teens sporting new looks for someone they admire on campus, adults proposing to their girlfriends and boyfriends, and old couples feeding each other ice cream at the park. Love is a lovely sight indeed.
However, not everyone is quite lucky with this thing. We can be the best versions of ourselves already, at the peak of our success, ticked everything off from our bucket list, but we still haven’t found our heart’s missing half. We often hear others cheering us up and saying, “It’s okay because we all have our different timings. True love can wait. Just be patient and it will come” but it’s not a comforting thing to hear. Sometimes, listening to that advice causes us to end up growing old alone. No, we shouldn’t rush love but love works in magically mysterious ways and it doesn’t come around just by sitting in the corner. If we want to be in love, we have to get out there, enjoy life, make the most out of everything, and who knows? We might bump into our future life partners or realize that they’ve been with us all along!
Love is formed out of a moment we share with another person. It doesn’t come up knocking on our doors saying, “Hi stranger! We were made for each other and I’m here now”. No, it doesn’t work like that. We can’t help falling in love inside one minute with a total stranger if in that single minute we weren’t afraid to show who we truly are. Does true love wait? Hmm maybe it can, but it’s best to be worked on.
