Amor est vitae essentia
Nobody wakes up saying; “Boy, I sure hope I don’t fall in love today” or “I sure hope nobody sweeps me off my feet today”, thus the saying:
Amor est vitae essentia = Love is the essence of life… and if you were wondering, its latin.
Call me naïve, call me dumb, hell you can even call me an idealist… but if there is no love in your life - or if you have yet to experience heart wrenching love - then you have not truly lived…
And yes, I have experienced heaven and suffered hell all because of LOVE. Ask me now or 50 years later, if I ever regretted falling in love only to feel as though my heart had been ripped out when things didn’t work out, my answer will always be a resounding ‘NO’!
Love is what KEEPS us alive! Love is why we FEEL alive! Love is the ESSENCE of our lives! (ok, I am starting to sound kinda scary… and no, I am not intoxicated while writing this)
Now for the caveat… as much as I am a believer in love (alright, I am, in fact, a sucker for love), I refute all forms of wooing. Notice I used the word, wooing, and not dating, courtship, or etc…
Falling in love to me is something magical, where some unexplainable chemical reaction in you causes you to look at and feel toward a person totally differently without having that person do anything to impress you… Wham! and it just happens… and the best part of falling in love, the same chemical reaction is happening to that person as well.
Take away the flowers, chocolates, expensive gifts, expensive restaurants, and etc (I can so keep on going about what a man can do to impress a lady and vice versa), and if love still blossoms, congratulations, you have got something special going on for you. I envy you, and more importantly, I am happy for you.
Now don’t get me wrong, a man MUST still shower a lady with all of the above and more, but what I am saying is that those are not THE PREREQUISITES in order for feelings to develop (if you feel otherwise, shame on you and get your ass out of this blog), and how often have we been guilty of using such as a benchmark to measure how much you are being loved, how deep the affection, how well are you being cared for… little wonder, divorce cases are on the rise…
So what do I use to measure how deeply in love I am? I use laughter and quarrel. The heartier the laughter, the harsher the quarrels = the deeper the love. When I laugh the hardest without restrain, quarrel to the best of my abilities, as peculiar as it sounds, that is when I am in love the deepest. Well, what I just said ain’t rocket science, its simply because love has the delightful effect of amplifying all your emotions!
Love causes:
Food to taste better
Jokes to be funnier
Arguments to be more unforgiving
Time together to pass much faster
Time apart to pass much slower
Love stories to be more touching
Affection to be more passionate
And most of all, YOU TO BE HAPPIER
So I say to you now, take the risk and leap, open your heart and allow that special person in deepest making you totally vulnerable causing you to fly, cos without love, we are all just falling…
