Cookie Cutter Love

Description

I severely dislike this shot. I'll redo it another day.


I like the idea that nothing is "cookie cutter." Especially when it comes to love. Love isn't the same for everyone. It could be a range of many things.

I'm not looking for critique on this. I'm looking for YOUR opinion on love and what it means to you. Have you ever felt love?

Personally? My answer is no. I have been loved and have loved someone else, but I have never been IN love.

this is a cute photo in my opinion :)

Love, to me, is not the stereotype it has been made out to be. Love is finding an imperfect person and seeing them perfectly. Love is still wanting to be with that person when you realize they are completely different from the structure you imagined. Love happens by chance and is a feeling that has to grow and be nurtured into something bigger than what was being felt in the beginning. Because, obviously, there is no such thing as love at first sight. That is what lust is. Which is why i must say that it is not a matter of age in knowing your feelings (addressing 'kids dont know love' issue), it's common sense. Love makes your tummy do back-flips and your pulse faster and slower at the same time; It makes you feel a whole range of emotions and makes everything brighter because it is in your life. Lust makes your pulse more palpable between your legs.
And there is a difference between love and being IN love. You LOVE your father, you aren't IN love with him. I'm not sure I've ever been IN love. I have loved, though. I love my girlfriend of what will be 6 months on the 28th, but I feel that it is too soon to say I'm in love with her. Being in love is too strong a feeling for a time so short (to me it is at least).
There's more I'd like to say, but it's stuck deep in my head and I just can't, for the life of me, figure out how to find and unravel the words.
