Love is perhaps the thing we humans are most hypocritical about. We like to award that wonderful emotion brickbat after brickbat. I've heard cynical statements about love, and sometimes, a little reluctantly, have agreed to some parts. But when you are in love, you tend to draw exceptions as much as you'd like to believe you are not in love, you end up knowing you are. I don't mean to say you always know when you are in love. And I am not speaking of spiritual, familial love. I am speaking of romantic love.
And many times, that love is unattainable. It's been for me. And you hang on to it for some time. Hoping, the brainless romantic that you are, that you might as well get them 'back'. Maybe you do, maybe you don't. If you do, you explore a new facet of yours; if you don't, well, you again explore a new facet of yours.
I've realised that love is not all bubbly, but rather confusing sometimes. Not careful sometimes even ruthless. Sometimes 'perfect' (to others), and sometimes abusive and possessive. But it is what makes us different from other animals. We don't love to procreate. We love to love. And the stupid purist that I am, I hope it remains that way.

most young adults and teenagers are( if they are) in love with the idea that they are in love. It arises out of a void in our own lives that we expect to be filled by our Significant Other. Unless the love is unconditional and without any expectation from each other with an independent space for both parties, its too hard for love to consistently sustain. as human beings, our expectations grow exponentially with the rate at which they are being met. if we put it that way, romantic love is harder to find and easier to lose unless we do get into a relationship with life itself and lift our expectations from our significant others.
