How do YOU define true love ❤️?

[Anonymous]

1. Many people say true love is unconditional, but honestly in your own life experience, how many people actually stay when you have nothing? When you are broken, at your lowest, or not perfect anymore?


>> Ironically, in today’s world most loves you loudest when you have everything, when you are successful, rich, looking good, or when you can give them something in return.

But the moment you lose it all, the moment you fall, make mistakes, or show your ugly, messy sides most people slowly walk away.

It’s sad but true, many stay only for the version of you that shines, not for the real you that struggles. Love has become conditional, depending on what you have, not who you are.

----------------

2. In your POV, do you think someone can truly love you, even when you bring nothing to the table but yourself? Just your heart, your presence, and your flaws?


>> Reality now, people choose partners like choosing benefits, calculating what they will get, what status they will gain, or how good you look on their feed.

It feels almost impossible to find someone who stays when you have no wealth, no beauty, no achievements to offer.

yet the biggest irony is, the only love that truly heals and matters is exactly that kind, the one that wants nothing from you, but simply wants YOU. The one that loves you not for what you bring, but just because you exist.

To love is to be motivated in the absence of pleasure and pain. So no peppers, no pepper flakes, no jars, no clothespins, no ropes, no standing in a corner, no eating a raw onion, and no intermittent reinforcement. ㅤ

People need to snap the fuck out of it. Romantic love is a fallacy.

Real relationships are something you commit yourself to day in and day out until it becomes so ingrained in your life and who you are that functioning without it becomes an unknown.

People who have been together for decades, they live on battle fields where war is being waged on the daily. They learn to sleep while mortar shells go off overhead.

For anyone not willing to endure (myself included) learn to appreciate your short term relationships until the romanticism of excitement and discovery runs dry.

I still haven't decided which is the better outcome.

True love, to me, is when two people stay themselves — fully, freely — and yet still choose each other every day. Not out of fear, not out of habit, not out of obligation… but out of recognition.

@MontBlanc True love is an emotional and respectful feeling for another person. When both have the same feelings they usually get married.

I define true love as mutual respect for each other’s boundaries, trust, and emotional connection. For me, love is not just intimacy. Intimacy comes after love is built.

If you're wirh someone for 20+ years. Then it's probably true love. Or you're incredibly pathetic. Because why would you be with someone that long if you didn't truly love them?

True love is forged over time with shared experiences. If you've been with someone a month and say "it's true love".😆 GTFO of here with that middle-school-writing-in-your-hello-kitty-diary-about-it-nonsense.😆

On the other hand, there's a lot of people who are great people and do all of the right things and the other person still leaves.🤷🏼‍♀️

Life is unpredictable and uncertain. Knowing and trusting that I have someone who will ride the waves with me is just indescribable

I do see it as balance and reciprocation...

not about conditions

You wrote my definition of love in today's world, that's the sad truth, can't be more realistic, and the question remains, is there's still real love left in today's world?

[genericname85]

i don't. there's love and "not love". true love is a bullshit word combination. either it's love or it's not.

It's pretty much like an episode of complete irrational nonsensical insanity. Unfortunately it's sometimes lasts about as long as well.
