True, destined, meant to be kind of love...

They say you know it when you feel it. The moment happens somewhere between getting to know someone and feeling like you have known them forever. Maybe it’s a flutter in your stomach, or a twinge in your chest, but surely when the moment happens you know. I recall once having described the moment as “feeling so close to him that when he hugged me, I could not tell where he ended and I began.” Love is an amazing feeling, whether it last forever or it last for a few moments, the feeling is amazing, life altering, mind boggling. It can leave you bruised and battered when it goes bad, but even then, love it worth it….right?

So the question today is one that has been on my mind for a while. It actually has a few parts. First, do you still believe in true love? And if you are together and in love with a person and the relationship ends, does that mean the love wasn’t true or meant to be? Finally, if you love someone for a time and it ends, do you get a chance at another “true love” (meaning do you believe people experience true love more than once in their life)?

Feedback please....

These are great questions that I have pondered once or twice before. I am not sure if there is such a thing as true love; I believe love is what you make of it. For instance, a woman who is beaten everyday by her lover may still describe what you have described above, she might say it is true love and I would disagree. Thus, I think true love is relative…you believe what you want.

If you are in love in a relationship and it ends; I think that means that person has served their purpose in your life. It was a love experience, not your final love journey. I think different people teach you different things about love including what love is not, love is forgiving, love is passionate, etc. But many times what we are having is a love experience to prepare us for our love journey. I believe that once we begin our love journey we know. We know because love is no longer difficult, it is a natural progression. A fluid and flexible thing that is given with no strings attached.
