love? what is it?

we were in english today when our teacher mrs c decied for us to expolor LOVE IS A PARADOX

though love is a selfless thing we seem to do so many selfish things in order to gain it. they say love is the only thing you should be selfish about, and yet we become so selfless in love.

we love to the extant that we come to hate, hating someone so much that everything about them becomes us.

i wonder what it's like to acurally 'love' someone, it's a owrd used so commonly and yet i have no idea of it's meaning and what it feels like. sometimes i evny those who have been in love, even if they were hurt, their emitions are real. yet i feel as though i am just passing time. i wonder what it's like to feel.

i've always admired jake and connies love for each other, and how deeply they were in love, and how once that love changes into something different their relationship also changes. i wonder why it is that humans crave for love the way we do. prehaps love is the meaning of life, maybe our lives are set out to love someone deeply and then move on.

the thought of never accurally loving someone deep enough for me to want to give them everything. i may never learn of that 'love', i may just make myslef believe thats it's love and allow myslef to get sweeped away by the whole culture of love. has anyone ever felt love in it's purest form?

if u have an idea, leave a comment i would like to know, how do u know when love comes knocking?
