~~ O MY LOVE WHERE R U ~~
During my whole life, I always thought that I loved somebody. Now, being here for the first time with you, I ask myself: have I ever really been in love? Am I even able to love? Am I able to love you? Or has life brought me to a point where happiness in love does not happen any more?The basic fallacy that you are carrying within you is that you always loved somebody.
This is one of the most significant things about all human beings; their love is always for somebody, it is addressed – and the moment you address your love, you destroy it. It is as if you are saying, “I will breathe only for you – and when you are not there, then how can I breathe?”
Love should be like breathing. It should be just a quality in you – wherever you are, with whomsoever you are, or even if you are alone, love goes on overflowing from you. It is not a question of being in love with someone – it is a question of being love.
People are frustrated in their love experiences, not because something is wrong with love…they narrow down love to such a point that the ocean of love cannot remain there. You cannot contain the ocean – it is not a small stream; love is your whole being – love is your godliness. One should think in terms of whether one is loving or not. The question of the object of love does not arise. With your wife, you love your wife; with your children, you love your children; with your servants, you love your servants; with your friends, you love your friends; with the trees, you love the trees; with the ocean, you love the ocean.

I agree and really like this part of your post:

Having expectations and waiting for love hinders it.
Love, it is really something that changes through different life seasons and time, through our experiences.
Love is not sedentry or stagnate, it is alive and like any living thing, it changes over time.
I believe that it is possible to some someone always. This is not a fallacy. It is a fact. Are you telling me that you never loved your parents or family always?
But like all things, this love expresses itself differently at different times. Perhaps even hiding away for a time during our teen years. But still it is there.
Every relationship we ever have leaves its imprint on us, no matter what that imprint is, it is always there.
I don't know if love is like breathing, more like it is living, and like any living thing, it must be cared for and looked after, otherwise it can die.
Many have killed love in themselves and in others.
But love can also be reborn, resurrected from death through faith, belief and effort. Often it takes the two people consenting to this before it can happen.
Love is a whole lot of different things, different expressions, different feelings, different experiences. It is forever a changing thing that changes us, sometimes for the better if we are receptive of love, sometimes for the worse if we are calloused in our heart.
Love has different personalities, different forms, and different effects.
It is a dangerous thing and a beautiful thing and it has negatives as well as positives.
You can drown in the ocean, so can you drown in love. It must have its proper place, along side uncommon sense, rational thinking, and proper decision making.
Why do some remain in abusive relationships? Warped love is one reason.
Yes, love must be balanced and other things need to be equal with it in a person if it is to enhance and compliment and a person and cause them to shine bright in a dark world.
Cheers.
