Love Is – Voices
“While love can be an amazing thing between two people, it can also be something that breaks you. I think that that makes this weird obscure emotion, one of the most powerful things in the world.”

I think that love means caring for someone or something to an extreme, not at all in a bad way. It means having their concerns and their ideas in your mind when making decisions, and considering them when doing things that could put you in harm. Love is not being selfish and is so immense that it fills all of you. If you really love somebody, then you’re going to do things for them. Not because you feel like you have to, but because you want to. I think that it’s also doing things for yourself because you know the people around you would want you to. If the person loves you back then it’s just great. On the other hand, loving somebody that does not love you back can be very painful, and often their lack of love does not come from a lack of caring but from a difference in interest. While love can be an amazing thing between two people, it can also be something that breaks you. I think that that makes this weird obscure emotion, one of the most powerful things in the world. It drives a lot of the decisions that people make, both good and bad, and can create unbelievable happiness as well as unbelievable sadness. I feel that my experience with love has gone both ways. A lot of the time, the bad parts seem to outweigh the good, but when you have the chance to look back on a person or thing that you loved, even if you have lost them or don’t get to feel that way again, I think that we are privileged to have the ability to experience that emotion at all.
