Define Love

by Kristina Cossa

Love by definition is something that can’t be seen or touched, it can only be felt. In most media, it’s described as the most powerful thing in the world. And in a way it is, but if that’s the case why is it so painful? Why are hundreds of people’s relationships ending every day?

If marriage vows are meant to be sacred, why do some spouses end up cheating? If love is not easily angered, why are some relationships violent or toxic? If love is meant to be acceptable, why are some couples not accepted for being different? If you never forget your first love, then why does heartbreak exist?

The thing about love is that it’s not a clear path. Sometimes it’s rough. Love isn’t something that can be avoided or forgotten, it’s a part of being human. As painful as it can be, pain lets us know that we are alive. Love is patient, love is kind and not easily angered. One day it’s simply there alive inside your heart.
