Love? Big Deal. Anyone wanna go over this short writing piece with me? Don't worry, it's not like it sounds.?

Love is a spring breeze.

Love is looking in somebody檚 eyes and knowing you would die to protect them.

Love is a mother檚 warmth.

Big deal. A thousand people have made poetry just like that. And it gets more redundant every time it檚 read. I檓 not saying that it檚 not true. Love is all of those things. But who are we to say who love is? Humans (or dolphins for that matter, but for the intents and purposes of this rant, humans) cannot truly inscribe their feelings onto a piece of paper. Goodness knows it檚 been tried. Writers, painters, poets, sculptors, even architects. All of these people are trying to transfer feeling into the physical realm.

It can檛 be done. There aren檛 words, pictures, of structures that can explain the intensity of one檚 passion for something. I don檛 know about languages like that African one with the clicking noises, but I do know that in all of the English and Spanish dictionaries alike, there is not a single word that I can ever put on a piece of paper to describe how I檓 feeling. We have basic emotional words like happy, sad, and angry. We even have more complex ones, such as nervous, excited, and quixotic. And then there is love.

Honestly, you have love. What is love? There are several different kinds of love. Love for family, love for friends, love for your favorite food. And sometimes we try to discern the different kinds of love from the others. But the basis remains that love is a deep caring for something. And I think that that should be enough. Is it worth it to try to understand what is probably the best part and entire point of human (and dolphin, but we檝e been over this) existence?

No, it檚 not worth it. My advice to you, reader, is to stop reading this piece after you have concluded this paragraph, and not think about love. Just do it. Love eating your popcorn, no matter how unhealthy it is. Love all of your friends and just how lucky you are to have each and every one. Love whoever you檙e in a relationship with, and if you檙e single, then love the fact that you won檛 be forever. And finally, most importantly, love your family, because when it comes right down to it, they檝e been there since day one.Love? Big Deal. Anyone wanna go over this short writing piece with me? Don't worry, it's not like it sounds.?
wow love all your details and opinions.... great time!
