   The forehead kiss, a strong emotional intimacy, share of a meaningful connection; talk of being even kissed while you are asleep. This is one of the most heavenly, yet purest form of expressing love. This is because you will never know that they kissed you but they know. After all, they really love you. Many misapprehensions, myths, anecdotes creep in, each time the word “love” is mentioned. some tremble, some freeze, some cry, may be an indication of a fractured healing wound. So, why such a feeling? Haven't you heard of the saying, “Romance is for the unmarried?” Are we not alive to the fact that love is universal and timeless?

      They say love has existed since creation, yet even in the 21st century, we still find ourselves sandwiched in a state of ambiguity with some in a state of despair, tired of love while others in outright jubilation, enjoying this same love in equal measures. That sounds funny. That is how comical love is. Come to think of it, how can one get tired of finding love yet the world has over 7 billion people of different colors, races, ethnicity, continents, & countries? There are a good number of places you haven’t been to, and a huge number of people you have never met. so what are the odds? What if there lies the place where your better half is? Maybe your soulmate is far away, waiting for you to appear, or maybe he or she is right where you are, but you are both preoccupied ,operating on different “frequencies”. If you feel you haven’t found your soulmate, fear not.No man is an island. With the incalculable number of people, you are yet to meet in this world; it is intolerable that there is only one soul out there who is an impeccable match for you. However, it can be demanding to try and pick one such person from the mammoth constellation, which is why such a hunt can become emphatically exasperating and disheartening at times.

     I am impeccably sure that most people do not want to perceive this, but relationships that last involve a lot of sacrifices, tolerance, and forgiveness. You have to consent to the fact that your partner is not impeccable & will at one point dissatisfy you. You have to figure out whether you are willing to go through ups & downs with them. This whole delusion is what mutilates love to lust. Everybody uses the word LOVE. Nevertheless; it is more predominant among the youths, who hunger to express a supreme stratum, the indication of sensation amid themselves. This has led to some funny characterizations of love by the youths. Some have converted to specialists in the progressions of LOVE, “love doctors,” they say, with a section of them elevating themselves to the ranks of professors of love in this university of love, etc.

      With a considerate fraction love casualties developing a negative perception, and with some going to an extent of taking their lives, we cannot dismiss the fact that Love at some point, is disastrous, principally for those who toil in its promises. Love is at times brutal. Regardless of the eventuality, and the ultimate artifact, a good number of us will concur to the fact that falling in love was and is the most elated, exciting involvement in life. At one point, so ecstatic that it can be appallingly seductive seeking to duplicate later after the heavenly state of mind and feeling is broken-down. Falling in love, being in love, and enjoying love can be the most enthralling, perplexing, tantalizing, and at times, dangerous experience that can happen to a person. The extraordinary inclination of love is certainly ingrained into our DNA.

      Summarily, even though relationships may be termed as being hard, total dedication, hard work, and focus are paramount. Finding the right person to settle down and call it a union may seem hard frustrating draining, and an uphill task. It’s imperative that even after getting the right person you’ve got to put effort to maintain it.no one gives birth to a child, deny him food expecting him to grow. Having said that, it’s overbearing that wetake it easy, give 90% of our sacrifice, always know that we are responsible for our own happiness, stop waiting and live our life, love, and adore ourselves.do not create boundaries to others, put in more effort, and always know that sometimes love appears when you least expected it. Remember, no one is an island and love is universal and timeless.
