What.Is.Love??

\/ \/ \/ \/ \/ Read Down Below \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ What Is Love? I found myself thinking about this the other day when I was wondering what to call the attraction between myself and my boyfriend. Is "love" what we label our feelings towards another or is it something deeper? Here's what I reasoned out but before I get into my thoughts any further I just want to put in a DISCLAIMER: DISCLAIMER DISCLAIMER DISCLAIMER:----->Ok. Yeah, I'm a Christian but I'm not necessarily reflecting what the church is saying, I'm writing these through the reasoning of my own brain. Now that ya'll have hopefully used your eyeballs to read that, here we go. Love is not a feeling. Let me repeat that. LOVE.IS.NOT.A.FEELING. It's not that feeling you get when you look at someone, let's say your crush or Henry Styles-or even your boyfriend. Love is not a feeling. "But Christsflower," you say as you scratch your head, "love is a feeling. TV told me so." No, no, my child. TV is giving the illusion that love is a feeling. It's not and here's why. Love is an action. An ACTION. Love is when your mom sacrifices her sleep to make sure you get to sleep. Love is your dad working all day and in some cases all night to provide for his wife and kids. Love is when you give the last piece of Halloween candy to your little sibling or older sibling even though you wanted it. That's what love is. An action. Now, why can't love still be a feeling? -"I love you," someone says as they don't clean up the mess after themselves. -"I love you," someone says after doing a load of dishes even though they didn't want to. Do.you.see.the.difference? What's the point of saying I love you is you do.not.mean.it? And if you truly TRULY loved someone you would do what's best for them! Regardless of whether or not it "hurts their feelings." Some people really need a slap in the face in order to get over themselves to make their lives better. Some people need to be torn down in order to be built up. Let's say someone was doing something wrong but instead of telling them you let them do it. "Because I didn't want to hurt them because I love them." NO NO NO 100928463856297 TIMES NOOOO! If you truly loved someone you would do what's BEST FOR THEM. That may be telling them something they don't want to hear. That may be telling them to do something they don't want to do. If it will better them as a person, then how dare you not? How could you claim to love them, to care about them, and not fight for them through telling them the truth?! Love Is An Action. "So if it's not a feeling then what am I feeling towards that cute guy in fourth period?" you ask me. Oh you cute cinnamon bun, that is what we call attraction. That's it. Simple. So many words are being misused and it drives me up a wall. Our society is twisting and bending the meanings of words into something they are not and ISN'T IT CONFUSING?!? But anyways, I'll tackle that subject another time. Just remember, if you truly loved someone you would do what's best for them. -When people say "I love you" to each other it's pledging that they will do everything in their power for the other persons good.- Love is an action. I pray that all of you will be loved today. No matter what circumstances you may be living in, what home you might call home, what friends you have, what teachers teach you. I hope that each and every one of you have a frikin blessed day because it's about time some people's lives are mended. I love you all. Amen.
