• Love is

    There is more to love than what is in the bible verse. I find that so much more needs to be discussed what love is. One thing that is not widely discussed that true love is, is having someone else complicate your life. Because essentially that is what love is. When you love another, you allow the other person’s wants and needs to fill into your life which can complicate your life. But when there is love, this is not a burden, it is desired. You will not be angry or impatient because the love that you have for the other person is far grander than any complication and allows…

  • Protects, trusts, hopes, and perseveres

    True love can make people do crazy things but essentially will come down to wanting to be and do the best for another. True love has the desire to protect and to trust. Even if things are going badly or there are things out of the person’s control, true love hopes and perseveres through the worse of times. I like to use this idea in my writing because it can give a deeper level to the love that can be between two people, who have to overcome a great deal of obstacles to be able to be together. This I find is one of the staples in writing romance novels,…

  • Self-seeking

    Love is many things but it isn’t self-seeking or selfish. When there is true love between two people, there is no I when thinking of the other person. However, people do not always understand what is selfish and self-seeking and what isn’t. wanting time for yourself is not selfish. Wanting to do things for yourself isn’t selfish or self-seeking. We need time for ourselves so we can fill ourselves with love to give to others. Allowing our partner time is important. And this is where sometimes love is not there. When you have problems with your partner going to spend time with themselves, this would be being selfish and self-seeking…

  • Envy, boasting, and being proud

    Certain things are not considered love and when a person exhibits these characteristics, it may mean that they do not really love. Envy: wanted what another person has. It is a pillar of not love. Therefore if a person envies the other that they claim to love, it isn’t true love. Boasting and being proud, but are also good indicators of no love. However, there is a difference between being proud of yourself and your accomplishments and being just proud. It is okay to be proud of oneself but when you become overly proud and push onto others what you have done, that is when it goes too far. These…

  • Kindness

    Love is all about being kind. But being kind does not mean allowing bad people a free-range. I think it’s important to understand kindness so that a person can understand kindness. Kindness is being there for another person in good or bad times. Kindness is being understanding of another and sharing the best of themselves with others. This can be very hard to do because not everyone knows the best of themselves. Kindness is the opposite of thinking of oneself. It is to think of others, about who they are, how they are doing, and what they need. That is what kindness, true kindness is. It is all about how…

  • Patience?

    One facet to love is patience. But what people do not realize is that patience does not mean allowing another person to walk all over you. It means to want to take the time and effort with another person that you value. In the dictionary, patience is described as the ability to wait after something. But waiting for something does not mean waiting forever. This is what is important to differentiate between being patient because of love and being over the top. Love is not so patient that a person gets hurt. Love is the kind of patience that allows the person to wait for the right thing in their…

  • Love is

    Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 The most known way of seeing what love is, is with this bible verse, although one can look at many different places to learn what love is. But one thing that all answers the question of what love is, is that love has many facets, and we need to…

  • Is love blind?

    Love is blind is a famous saying that I think everyone knows. But is this the truth? For me, I feel that love, true love, is not blind. Lust is blind because it is driven by passion and by desires. But love is more than just desire and passion. Love is when you know how to let go when you can appreciate the other for who they are. Love is wanting the other person to become better but knows that harsh criticism and negative speaking does not do anything but hurt the other person. Love is patient, kind, love strives through all problems and wants to find solutions. I love…

  • Lust

    “True lust knows no bounds. Marriage or otherwise” – Ahmed Korayem I have often talked about love, well today I’m going to talk about lust. Lust is not like love, but it can be a powerful tool in writing. Because lust is that attraction two people can get even if they are all wrong for each other or in love with another. Lust is when two people cannot take their hands off each other, that intense connection that when they look into each other’s eyes they want to kiss each other. Lust is that moment that all you can think of is laying there naked with the person in front…

  • Love conquers all

    There is nothing more powerful than love. Many people may argue with me on this but at the end of the day, money and knowledge, and whatever else you can think of that can be very powerful, but love is the top. Love can be more powerful than money, than knowledge, than the mind. Love can conquer all, but the key here is belief and true love. You must believe in love and understand what true love is. Lust is so prevalent in our society today that people tend to think it’s love when it’s just lust. When you can say that you will die for another, whether family, friend,…
