All of us have our own perceptions on love. True love, eternal love etc and we have had so many thread on them. But, not often do we see people sacrficing all and even less often do we see people who would treasure the good and let go the bad.
What is true love according to you ??
Do you draw limits or binds you wont cross ? ?
Would you go to the extent of sacrificing all you can ??
to me true love is unconditional and yes i would make sacrifices, but i would not allow my self to be a doormat either.
to me a true relationship is a 200% thing. both parties each give the other 100% of themselves in order for the relationship to work.
i've heard the "experts" say relationships are a 50/50 thing, but if all you are going to give me is 50% and i put in 100% then i don't think we stand a snowballs chance in hell!!!
True love enraptures the heart and soul...truly.. I remember feeling willing to give up career everything for the one person I fell in love with.. u also love them selflessly and their 'happiness' genuinely means something to u.. also once their imprint is on your heart.. its there to stay!!!.. its a bit like the way u love ur family
In my experience in wasn't 'practical' at all....
And do I regret it.. absolutely not.. its a special feeling experiencing ur heart and soul at their utmost capacity...
Strangely though and perhaps ironically I would be slow to experience it again... if that makes sense
I could expound on this beyond the capacity of this window, but thought I would just relay the first thing that comes to mind.
True love is when you are having a bad day, can close your eyes for a moment and think of that person, and you then quietly know that everything is going to be okay.
When I DO fall in love with someone, it's not often.. (in fact it's quite rare for me) It takes me a lonnngg time to actually fall in love.
I'm not the kind of person to let those feelings take me over very often. But when I DO tend to fall .. I fall hook line and sinker. (really)
They do become my *everything*.. as I've said somewhere else on here.. I become totally blinded by them.. blinked.. tunnel vision. (yeah I know..it scares ME too! haha)
Where I can't even SEE anyone else but them.
And yeah I would make just about ANY sacrifice for them.. (my children being the only *BUT*) as long as it wasn't something totally illegal or just ridiculous.
But sometimes I think I fall harder than I SHOULD.. Sometimes I think I'm a bit TOO intense for some people.. (They weren't kidding when they said about a Taurean being *Powerhouse of Passion*) haha.. and yes then I Do regret it because I look like a maniac if it's not reciprocated quite so intensely
and yep.. sometimes I regret making stupid sacrifices then realising part way in, I've let my heart lead me.. and made a MASSIVE mistake. I'm waaayy too impulsive for my own good!
But I live and learn. I try nowadays to listen more with my HEAD and my gut instinct..(which are almost ALWAYS right) I no longer ignore them. Actually I was telling someone the other day.. how nowadays I treat my feelings in the same way I do in my job.. where I give my clients (seemingly) my 'all'.. but reeeeally I keep the IMPORTANT stuff back.
Saves me getting hurt.. (when they die) and making mistakes thinking with my heart instead.
I'm a big I'm a softy arsed romantic chomping at the bit really.
I agree with you on this about 95%, Eupho! I just do not become a maniac if it is not returned, I just sink down into a funk that takes a while to get out of.
