“What do you want? You want the moon? Just say the word and I’ll throw a lasso around it and pull it down.” It’s a wonderful life One thing I know about love is that it can make people open up and want to give the person they love the world. This saying shows exactly how when a person loves another how much they are willing to do for the other. When you love a person, you want them happy. You want to be the reason they are happy.  I use this concept in my writing too. In my opinion, the journey that two people go through to get to…

“Love is a gift of one’s inner most soul to another so both can be whole.” Buddha I like this quote because it is how I see love. The love we share with others is a gift from us to them. And the love that is between two people is the most precious gift a person can give to another. So why do we give our most precious gifts away so freely? Because it is in us to give to others. It is why we can get hurt so easily because our love is meant to share with others. So I say don’t fear being hurt because when you love,…

In the world we live in today, people are always busy. People are rushing to work, trying to get things done, and the to-do list never seems to end. I see people are always busy doing this or that, and they forget to make time for love. Whether you are in a relationship, married, or trying to find someone, making time for that special person or person to be is important.  Time is all we have on earth. It is the most costly thing, yet we use it up so freely and not necessarily properly. Time passes, and we tend to forget that this is the one commodity we cannot…

“Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.” Robert A. Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land In life, we all want to be happy. But one thing that I find when it comes down to love is that often we are happy when our loved one is happy. This does not mean we cannot be happy when alone. I find that happiness is always tied to our perception of life. But when we are in love with that person and making them happy can bring us joy, extreme joy. Just think of how a mother who loves her kids will be happy…

We all know the saying that love is blind, but what about the reverse direction. And we go into love being blind? Can two people meet and fall in love without seeing each other? Some people may say it can happen, others say it cannot, and some may say it can start as love and end up having problems and ending. So what is the reality in this? So many now are meeting online, so many do not see each other sometimes for years. And what about the old fashion way of not seeing your bride or groom until the day of marriage? Arranged marriages may be seen as old…

“Some love stories aren’t epic novels. Some are short stories, but that doesn’t make them any less filled with love. Sex and the City I love this quote because it rings very accurately. Some stories are short, some are long, but what makes a love story great is not the length but that it is a personal story. Everyone has a love story, and it has meaning behind it. Even if it is a simple story of you met online or met through friends, it is still a great story because it is all about how two people come together in love and find each other. No one should be…

One of the most romantic things that can happen is a great proposal. Tv and books can make proposals so much fun to read. They are heartwarming and an incredible moment in any person’s and character’s life. I like the ones I read that do not always go as planned. Sometimes the mistake or that unplanned moment marks the person and makes us love to read the story. It is at these moments that stories come alive. I love a good proposal story, whether perfectly planned or a last-minute thing. I just think it is one of the most romantic moments in a person’s life. And for my characters, I love…

 “Since the invention of the kiss, there have been only five kisses that were rated the most passionate, the most pure. This one left them all behind.” The Princess Bride Being a romantic at heart, I love The Princess Bride’s movie. Even though the setting is not in our times and it can be seen as over the top, the basic concept of love and the idea of true love is a good one and one that I share. The whole movie is based on love and to what end love will drive a person to be with another person. When two people have a genuine love for each other,…

We all live with rules. And in many ways, we can go into a relationship with a set of rules in our head. But love goes by no rules. Love does not say I will love you if or for this or that. Love is everlasting and about giving and not what you can get out of it. I am not saying that if you love a person and they love you back, you will never receive anything. But in true love, love is giving, and if both partners are in love, they are both giving. Rules tend to skewer the love that can be between two people. And sometimes…

“You are my greatest adventure.” The Incredibles I very much love this quote. Although it is not exactly referring to love, we can see love in this manner. When two people love each other, they become each other’s adventure. The single journey of a person becomes a joint journey.  I believe it is crucial for us to realize that when we love someone, they become a part of our story. And when two people have true love, they begin a new journey together. This makes it important that the two people have the same journey in mind. This, I think, is sometimes the problem with some. Their love for the…
