The ideals behind Valentine\u2019s Day are lost, covered up by the superficial complexities of new and better dates, lavish and expensive gifts, and overthinking how to make your special someone feel, well, special. Whatever happened to just enjoying the time you have with your someone on Valentine\u2019s Day and having that be enough? Sure, love is different to every person, and all that. We as a society have just accepted that saying. But, instead of just brushing off that love is different for every person, lets investigate just how different we are really talking. What is everyone\u2019s different definition of love? Check out THS seniors definitions of love. <\/p>\n
Thus, to say love is different for every person is such an understatement. Love is a book of lessons, a compilation of acceptance of yourself and and someone else, and a culmination of tolerance and daydreams.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a story that needs to be written. Some forms of love fill less pages in your life book, while others have more. It\u2019s all about timing and what is right for you. For sometimes, love is to be selfish. It\u2019s the shy smiles in between classes, the late night conversations on the weekends that get deep real fast.<\/p>\n
The comfort and protection of being next to that special someone while watching a movie together. It\u2019s a concept that we cannot solidify into one Webster Dictionary definition. It\u2019s a concept that forms the backbone of our own individual lives.<\/p>\n
As for myself, love fits into a quote that I think defines it perfectly for me. For, \u201cWhat is love?<\/p>\n
Are your palms sweaty, is your heart racing, and is your voice caught within your chest? -it isn\u2019t love, it\u2019s like…Are you proud, and eager to show them off? -it isn\u2019t love, it\u2019s pride. Do you want them because you know they\u2019re there? -it isn\u2019t love, it\u2019s loneliness…Do you belong to them because their sight makes your heart skip a beat? -it isn\u2019t love, it\u2019s infatuation…Do you tell them every day that they are the only one you think of? -it isn\u2019t love, it\u2019s a lie…Does your heart ache and break when their sad?…Do you cry for their pain, even when they\u2019re strong? …Do their eyes see your true heart, and touch your soul so deeply it hurts?…Do you stay because a blinding, incomprehensible mix of pain and relation pulls you close and holds you there?…Do you accept their faults because they\u2019re a part of who they are? -then it\u2019s love.\u201d \u201d ~Anonymous<\/p>\n

\n\u201cLove for me is the nervous feeling you get when you\u2019re about to see that person, but then feeling so calm and at peace when you\u2019re with them. It\u2019s not only liking that person, it\u2019s loving the way they think and knowing that they won\u2019t hurt you. It\u2019s the feeling that you know in the end things are going to work out. It\u2019s feeling so secure knowing that a person fell in love with you for being you, for being none other than yourself. It\u2019s when you\u2019re feeling down and they say anything to make you laugh…\u201d<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>\u201cI think love is when you spend time with someone and you notice all of their flaws. They chew gum too loudly, they sleep with a disturbingly large amount of pillows, and no matter where you are, they have something to criticize. At first you wonder why in the world you spend time with this person and then you get it. Love means that you notice all their flaws, but won\u2019t change a thing about them anyway.\u201d
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>\u201cTo me, love is when two people have a connection, a spark. They have to love spending time with each other, making each other feel special, and have to have that urge to protect them through life\u2019s hardships, no matter what the rough patch is. It\u2019s not about looks, it\u2019s about how you act and the chemistry you have with each other.\u201d
