Love

Love is universal.

It isn't a he or she.

Be liberal with it.

You can't say you "love" if your terms are only self-sufficient.

If you love them, their happiness should matter.

If they love you, your happiness should matter.

Love isn't so hard to find

It is one of the most priceless gifts to humanity

It is free

When you meet or search in space or union

Trying to identify the meaning of love

Upon definition, then that isn't love

Love is invincible

Love is free

Feel it.

Love is one of the answers to world peace.

Knowing our true purpose is the second.

There's nothing so magical like an awoken person in love.

Love transforms; voluntarily and involuntarily

Love is real. Scripted love isn't.

Love hurts sometimes but only for a valuable lesson.

Love is seeing everyone as equal

Love is treating everyone as equal

Love is not conversion

Love is not adultery

There's nothing like forbidden love

Love is never a bad thing

Pain doesn't amount to love

Love, sometimes amounts to pain

Love is not addictive

Love is sanity

It isn't breathless

It is life giving

Love is a spineless baby in my arms

Love is gratitude for life

Love is 50% of profit to the missionaries, the orphans

The hungry without media evidence or credit

Love is reminding them that there is actually love

Love embraced is love extended.

Mental Abstraction:

Love is indeed a fairytale - in one chapter though, as it may be chaotic in the next chapter.

My sister helped enlighten me on how we never love people because of a certain thing but despite things we may not ordinarily tolerate or want.

Love is pain o. not on the grand scheme of things but the journey isn't exactly rosy.

Love is empathy and that is pretty hard. It is not easy to treat a person as I would with myself, especially when there is that consciousness of not receiving it back in same measure or at all.

Love is patience - this is a populous quote and an easy way to give way for toxicity. Still, in love, endurance, tolerance and patience without losing your mind or feeling less of yourself.

Love is openness and the hard conversations - eish! Upon realizing this, I cried out to the heavens that I wanted to remain in a state of nirvana. Do you know how hard this is? Openness isn't favorable conversations and f**k, the truth hurts like a motherf**ker.

Love is appreciation - I find myself holding on to only the good memories I have shared with people. It is so easy to forget the good times as negative emotions can be so overwhelming. I mean, if you can see past a present feeling, it becomes easier to appreciate a person.

Love is humanity - I strongly believe that world peace might be a myth because how can we get the whole world to just love one another?
