How would you define a true love? Is it only affection or just lust..or somebody that would listen to you everytime you need someone to talk with, Would you choose a person that is discrete or someone that is loud enough to tell you what are your wrong doings. I am in process of knowing how I am beig loved and treated.. I do commit mistakes and sometimes i regret the times that I neglected people who used to loved me..Have you ever had this kind of feeling before.

A true love is that you are willing to sacrifice your self to someone that you love just like what Jesus did for us because he love us so much He gave His life for us to be save.

..hi.. I've loved and was hurt but I keep on loving.. I've realized that the true essence of love is when you give it unconditionally.. this means that this time around, I just give love without expecting something in return.. I do believe that by doing this, I'm giving the person a time to realize how much I care and love him.. I don't like to expect because I'll be hurt if my expectations were not met.. Based from my experience, I can never change a person's character the way I want him to be, all I can do is show my love and enjoy being with them.. This way, I feel happy and I don't feel disappointed because I don't have any expectation in return.. and when that person decides to reciprocate my love, I become happier.. the essence of true love is the ability to love a person, despite of his weaknesses and help him develop his strengths.. I don't know if I have neglected anybody who used to love me.. maybe yes, but this time, I see to it that I appreciate everyone who shows how much they care about me and I try to reciprocate them too..

The definition of love is so subjective and each person has their own way of telling what true love is. However, in my opinion true love is something that is beyond explaining. When you feel something other than physical attraction that is unexplainable, then that's what true love is for me. When a person cares for me, trusts me and respects me, and needs me in his life to function well...that person loves me.
