Love; an Essay
So I’m sitting here contemplating. The phrase to “Fall in love” or I “Fell in love”…and I stopped and wondered, how and why this phrase was chosen and how it made any sense. The realization came to me at an instant.
There are people in this world who luckily or sadly enough have not felt the complex emotion of “Falling” in love. Yet they can’t say they’ve never loved. You see, everyone falls victim to love in the unconditional sense, towards friends and relatives, hell even in the world we live in today people are so attached to things, longing after you’re computer, or Apple device, and feel a sensation of oneness towards said object. Your brain then bombarded with feel good chemicals, endorphins rush and like the first drag of a cigarette after a hard long night.
That being said, It finally hit me. To fall in love infers the emotional aspects of love are portrayed, and felt in a physical sense. Here me out, You’ve told your dad or mom “I love you” and you mean it, no endorphin rush, nothing…just content with the fact that you all know it’s real. But when that person comes into your life and all you can see is that cliched Hollywood Hair in the fan slo-motion kind of thing. You feel it this mysterious feeling that oddly enough is familiar but magnified to an infinite degree. Like love was a flat surface you’ve walked on your entire life, and suddenly it snatches you up like quicksand. You feel eyes deep in the stuff, you can’t get it off. It gets on everything, and stains where nothing else can… the human heart.( added that in for the cheesy factor)But all jokes aside because love after all is serious business, the Kardashians did make pretty good business out love, very profitable after that dual Wedding/Divorce party.(Chris Humphreys anyone???) K last one. That’s when the lightbulb atop my head shattered EUREKA I feel this every day, and that’s what differentiates between loving and being in love. You’re literally in a love stained prison, a self contained ocean with currents ready to sweep you off your feet at an instant. Love is a net set by the creator on our feet, waiting for the right soul to reel it in.
I feel this every day, I’m a lucky guy.
