writes:Love...what a small word for something so immense. In love, our hearts defy our minds. Perhaps that is our flaw: trying to control something that is so tumultous. It is impossible to control who we fall in love with. Our hearts, for whatever reason, seem to pounce on the most untouchable people. I suppose it is true that we always want what we can't have. Love is said to be the closest thing we have to magic. It is stereotyped, labeled, stomped into the ground, worshipped...it is often the basis of our lives...the thing that we live for. It is a dangerously beautiful concept...one that we cannot resist. It is our hopeless addiction, because, can we not live without it? Can we survive and be happy without some form of love? Love is the driving force of everything and everyone. It is why we are here in the first place. Love can last a week, a month, a lifetime. Love is as true as we believe it to be...with whomever our hearts desert us for. We deny ourselves love...then we deny ourselves life. It can happen at anytime...occurring anywhere. It'll knock you over before you even have time to recognize it. Something so alluring shouldn't be tamed. We cannot put limits on one another's hearts...only our own, IF that. And yet, we trysay who can and who cannot be together. Some become victims of hate and despair, falling in love with those of the same gender, with age gaps, or other criticized circumstances. I am one of these victims, but I will not let my heart be controlled...because it simply CANNOT be controlled. We all deserve to experience love...an honest love without judgments being laid upon us...without shame. Love is something we can all associate with. Don't associate love with its enemy...hate should not even exist. Reply to this Article

Hi there,
Reading your thoughts on the magic of love, quite stunning
that you have such wise words coming from someone so young.
I am in my late 50's and have recently experienced the
emotional rollacoaster that love can take you, even though
my relationship with old school friend has finished, i am
still madly in love with her, 6 mths on, my love for her is still strong as ever she is always there in my thoughts,
how do you stop loving someone when it is so strong, i have
eccepted the circumstances and life goes on.
So good luck in the future like you say love will manifest
it'self just go with the moment.
Take care kind regards.
