The first time when the eyes interlock , when the heart beats faster, when you take time to make sure that you look beautiful and dressed up, when you search for that someone in the crowd, when you get worried when you don’t hear from someone for even a day, when you get angry when you see him share a joke with some other girl, when you listen to all kinds of songs but can imagine them to be sung only for u and him…. U r in love…first love….
Its like the first rain in the monsoon….fresh….have u ever felt the smell of the earth when the first rain pours down…its just like that … we would feel like getting drenched in it..the first love is similar..we would want it to just get washed away in it…float somewhere in the clouds and be in your little fantasy world…where everything is like how you imagine it to be…. Its so beautiful….
But do people fall in love only once..and if not, were they lying when they said they were in love before…
I can just say that being in love is the most wonderful feeling of all.. to love and to be loved is the greatest gift of all….i personally don’t think people can fall in love just once…in different ages, the way we think, what we want all differs… so does love….When you were a kid and loved Barbie, and when u grew up and loved your iphone…you were not lying when u said u loved Barbie…were you…
When we become older, our understanding about the real world also grows…what we want in life changes, priorities differ… for a seventeen year old girl, love is to spend maximum time with each other…for a girl in her twenties, its probably more physical closeness… for a woman in thirties, it is the security of her future…. And so on ….
It can also happen that people never find their true love until so late in life.. and then what happens…?? Think of a situation when you find that real someone special, your prince charming when you are a mother of two… its not coz you don’t love your husband and children… but probably you were drawn to this person coz hes what you have always wanted in your life. So are you cheating someone…your family, your new found love or yourself…
Should you forsake all your future happiness coz u now have a family…. Or should you go live with this person with whom lies ur true happiness, with whom you can be yourself and with whom you see all your dreams coming true ….. I know that most of us will say how can she do it to her family….after so long, how can she forsake all of it… she must just forget abt this new guy…and continue how she was …What if a man fell into the same situation… would he do the same and stay with his family or decide to live with his true happiness…and usually when a man decides to go to his new girl, people would say, its better he chose it over his family… he was never happy you know…..lol
And what if a woman falls into this situation just after marriage…I mean….now she is legally bound with someone and then comes to know of a person who she really wanted to spend her lifetime with.. I know of women who have chosen to stay back with their family coz of their culture rusting from inside, but smiling in the outside… never actually happy in life… I also know of women who have taken the bolder step and said, people would talk for sometime if I go with the other man… but why shld I care.. im the one who is responsible for my happiness…when I know that I can never be happy with my husband, why should I spoil my life being unhappy, his life faking happiness to him , and the new persons life by not being with him…..
so is this the solution….i don’t know… love could come in any form, at any time…we should just keep our eyes open..sometimes the person is always next to us, but we never see… sometimes we know who the right person is , but we never say… sometimes we confess our love to the right person, but its too late….love cant be fair always… and lucky are those who in love are also together…in every sense…. There are so many who love each other madly but cant be together for whatever reason it should be…
People, please realize the importance of love in your life…love is what could create and destroy lives…
if you haven’t found someone you are looking for, first look beside you before you look any further… if you haven’t said those special words to the person, say it out, never wil have the regret that she never knew… if you have said the special words to the person but he/she never could return it back to you, please don’t give up coz the love that lasts the longest is the love that is never returned..
one of the hardest things in life is watching the person you love, love someone else… some people don’t complain..coz for them love is defined by the other’s happiness… some people retaliate, thinking they have lost their game…and some people fight coz their love is too precious to be let gone atleast without a fight for it….
I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you, love is wanting to spend a lifetime with each other being content in what one could give each other, love is to let go, to conquer, to submit, to apologise, to fight for, to live life to the fullest…
Tilda, this is the most beautiful BLOG ever..lovely. Ur spirit must have had wings to fly over such classic thoughts..Liked it very much.
ReplyDeleteTilda, a person needs to be bold enough to speak out their mind about such a sensitive topic. I love you for being such a frank person. The way u have looked at situations from both the genders shows how deeply you think about the whole thing. Love you for who you are and keep writing about such beautiful feelings.
ReplyDeleteHi Tilda, liked this blog very much. what you've mentioned is almost close to the truth. However, i feel that a human being has the right to live their life, doesn't matter if they get their true love after marraige..marraige is not something which needs to be portrayed to society just for the sake of it. Life is so precious...we all realise it very late. So, live the life to the fullest and let live :)
