It hurts but that is the truth. People always leave. Those who stay were meant to stay, those who leave should be let go. It is how you let them go that will decide whether or not they will come back. We cannot control all of our actions nor can we control our ever changing emotions. We may try to and that is all of our effort.
Honestly life sucks. Shit happens. Nobody is untouchable or unbreakable.
Love in a relationship is a trust and comfort between two people who feel very strongly about the each other. Who share their thoughts, weaknesses, joys, dreams, desires, and basically themselves with each other. They show care and affection towards the other as well as give it. They defend and secure each other, making sure they do their best to succeed, when with them or not.

I would say its being able to be your true self around that person without having to worry about hurtful opinions and lies that other people around you tell you daily. Its when the person you’re with is the one thing that can make your day, yet ruin it all at the same time. its when you and that person is willing to suffer, fight, and defend your feelings for each other no matter what other people think. Its when you except each other for their flaws and weaknesses and share the happy, sad, and mad times with each other.
Personally, I always thought love was so “overrrated” and I never wanted to fall into this “spell” that everyone fell into and always ended up getting hurt, but now that I’ve actually experienced this feeling for myself and I’m beginning to understand the reason why people do the things they do just for this “love” that people search for everyday. It’s unexplainable and undefinable to some extent. but yet it gives a warm feeling within you when you know you have someone you can turn to when ever you feel down.

Yes I only have one couple but thats because people’s other half haven’t written in their definition yet. You guys know who you are. So please get that in if you can please and Ill edit it in :)
Everyone is entitled ot their own opinion of love. There is no specific meaning.
SB, Senior, F
Love can be a happiness that you entertwine yourself in, or somethin you lie your way into. Love searches and sees from a far….most of the time not longing to be sought out but mainly trying to do the seeking on its own. Love is completely pure and absent minded. It’s a subconcious feeling that you don’t even realize you’re loveing or becoming involved in because it is that simple, so simple you can’t even tell that everything you do is that person. The air you breathe, even is a constant reminder of true love. And being in love may not be true and it may not end in fairytale standard but it may always be the best love and greates of your life. And love can’t always be expressed by the relationship between you and another significant. Love honestly is simpler terms can be whatever you want it to be. I’ve experience one great love in my life and I believe that when you know, you know and you may realize it even at the moment because love just happnes. It knocks at your door and throws you a smile. However, love only comes once in awhile.I believe that it talks to your sould and sings to your heart. I don’t believe in faith and I don’t believe in soulmateds, but I do believe that when it comes it comes and its beautiful, innaculate, refreshing, and never ending (wheter it begins and ends with that person or not)

LOVE IS BULLSHIT
SK, Senior, F
Love is a word you can’t define. It represent emotional and happy feelings. Love makes a relationship serious, meaning you will have trust, you would care, you will miss, you will do it all. Loving a person does not mean happy ever after, you will ahve problems. Love express ones feeling. Love has to fin you in order to love. It may take time to find the right one, but let lvoe find you it will come to pass. Love is like an unsung song, its not really completed until it find its beat.
JD, Senior, F
Love is a mutualy feeling that connects you to a person through different stituations.
ML, Senior, M
Love is a feeling between two people that is unexplainable. Something that can look through all of the bad and find every bit of good. Love is something that can make the strongest man weak. Love is greater and stronger than any diamond or stone. Love is worth more than any amount of money. Love is true and strong.
JT, Senior, F
Love is the mutual feels 2 people have for one another. It’s the bond that only those people can share. It’s that unexpected feeling that you obtains and your aren’t able to control it.
LW, Senior, M
Love is the feeling two people share for each other. Strong enought no matter what the feeling will never go away. They both want to see each toher happy at whatever expense. Through hard times they try to workout their differences . Never gives p hope on teh other but if it does come to a point where one doesn’t feel as strongly as they once did. They tell the other.
IW, Senior, M
Love is….L, is for the way you look at me.O, is for the only one i see. V, is very, very , estraordinary, E, even more than anyone can give to you. Love is a beautiful thing. Love is when she’s everything you ever wanted, everything you need, when you talk abou them you go on and on and on…….
NS, Senior, M
Love in terms of a relationship is when you are in love with someone you can’t imagine being without. You think about all the time and you couldn’t see yourself with anyone else. Sometimes you may even feel like there is no one else for you even though he may be treating you wrong, callin you names, cheating on you or disrespecting you. Having love for someone, in love wiht someone, or you just saying you love them its all the same thing. Some people think that there is a difference but its really not. In reality you are in love, you may not be with that person but if you think about htem and can imagine being with this person after all you have been throught it’s caled tough love.It’s love!
Love is a desease that takes over the mind of those who fall victime to it. It causes them to do stupid things and forget what is important.
BW, Senior, M
Love is an emotion that people let take over their mind and heart. Love can sometimes be good but its overrated. People will change their lives and drop friends for LOVE. You can’t define love. Love doesnt exist to me.
EA, Senior, F
OVERRATED-theres only 1 true love for each person.
TL, Senior, F
Love is sacrafice. When you turly love someone, you’re wiling to give back, not just take. When love is real its real. There is no exceeding expectations, no flaw that cannot be overcome. Love is not intentionally hurting someone you truly care about.
KL, Senior, F
Love in terms of a relationship? Where should I start? Well love is something you can’t go running and lookin for like a scavenger hunt. Love is more of something you and your companion should develop through experiences and obstacles you two or more go through. There can’t be an exact definition for love to me because if there were, mre people … see more would be looking for those exact things whether the feelings are real or not, maybe plastic and you wouldn’t even know. It’s something you hold for that person, that special bond between you and your companion. Something you wouldn’t be able to share with anyone else as easily. It just comes and happens. but Yuh!!! if you’re too lazy for all that, just stop by the strip club CHYEAH!!!!!!
RO, Senior, M
Love is a 4 letter word, but it is the biggest, most complicated word in the english language.Love is when 2 hearts and minds intertwine anc act and function as one being. Love is theh one thing that can conquer anything, and can stand the tests of time.
LG, Senior, M
Love is a battlefield where both the guy and girl need to fight to stay together. Its not easy, its not solved easily. You have to be willing ot work hard because if you don’t then its over. I think love is very complicated as well but you have and no matter how much you fight and don’t get along if at the end of the day its you and him then its real love. Stay by his/her side no matter what and being faithful.
A, Senior, F
Love is soooo overated and too damn time consuming. Too much needs to go into love and I’m not willing to do it. I don’t have time to get my heartbroken by some ungrateful loser. Of course real love is out there somewhere and the people who are blessed to find it are lucky. Love and “True Love” are difficult to define and a person can only define it in his or her’s own words if they have experience it. Maybe one day I’ll find love, yeah when heaven and hell meet and God and the Devil do the electrick slide.
Z, Senior, F
Love is an illusiong that gives you reasons to act or be with someone. It’s also a controlled substitution basically saying “I like you more than annyone else”, also a word that is overuse and not exactly understood.
MB, Senior, M
Love can be amazing, eye-opening, life changing, and amazingly significant….if its with the right person.
DM, Senior, M
We often overuse the word “Love”. So I can’t say much about it. I know in other countriel like Japan or Germany they don’t like to use the word lvoe because it has such a deep meaning.I think in America our meaning of love tends to be broad, gerneral, like of something rather than the deeper cherished bonds we share amnogst each other. It seems to be meaningless in termes of openly saying it, I mean Mcdonald’s say it all the time in their catchy jingle.
TS, Senior, F
What is love…good question. Personally, I think that the word “Love” has been thrown around so carelessly, and has been overly used that it has lost its original meaning. So honestly, I don’t know what love is, but I’m pretty sure there are different kinds of love.
HE, Senior F
Love is unconditional and undefined. When you are willing to do anything for them, and don’t know what you’ll do without them. It makes you feel like nothing else can make you feel.
MB, Senior, F
I feel that love is when you unconditionally give yourself to an individual. when you can truly look at them in the eyes and know you would rather suffer a thousand years of pain before you would give up a minute with them.
GM, Junior, M
Love is realizing you and a person click like peices to a puzzle.That you could spend the rest of your life with them, caring for someone enough to want to be with them and being able to deal with them all day everyday. As long as a relationship has the love, theres always a hope for them pulling through a situation JW, Junior, M
Love is when you feel this tingly sensation inside you. When all the right buterflies are into place, and you fianlly know that this boy will be the right person for you. The right person that will finally take care of you, and tell you what he truely means without saying a single lie. He is willing to be there for you for such a long time. Love is when you see that person you care for very much and you don’t know how stop your nerves from quivering because your so happy to see them. Its when you hold there hands and never want to let them go, although there going to be right next to you. you want there touch. there warmth. You feel safe around them. You know that there is not going to be hurt because you have so much trust in them.. in the end love comes with getting to know each other more than anyone else. Making sacrfices, and having trust in each other.
CF, Junior, F
Sex aint love, I mean when you have sex it is not because you love that person it is because you want it. Love is like you will always care for that person. No matter what. Its way stronger than like.
EA, Junior, M
Love is the most cliche word in the english language. It is used to describe food, clothes, shoes, someone you like etcc. In order for someone to actuall experience “love” they have to understand the entire meaning of it. Which is hurt, pain, bliss, irritablility and hard work. Love is also patient and many of us don’t take enough time to actually decipher our feelings and understand we’re not really in love at all. We’re stuck in infatuation.
JK, Junior, F
In my onpinion love is the feeling you get when you care about someone on a nother level. I think some people think love is when you have sex with people and during “the action” you will just say anything to the other in order to have sex more and more. Personally I think it is bullshit because when a man gets a girl pregnant he will abandon her most of the time. I think if “you can’t do the time, then don’t do the crime” and yes it can apply to different situations besides going to jail.
CM, Junior,M
Love is an illusion and doesn’t exist. It isn’t concrete. Its an emotion that we often let control us and chnage us, for the worst.We often get so wrapped up in this illusion that we often lose sight of whats really real. We let go of the ones that truly care for this love thing. Tears and confusiong complete this lovepzzle and cripples the mind, body, and heart. Its powerless, and yest so overwhelmng and it ALWAYS end in wounds. True “love” only exists in fairytales and we as people spend time chasing this dream that of course would NOT come true.
DG, Junior, F
Love comes in many different ways and forms. They may be good or the bads, but love is a privilage to have. You have to take responsible for what you contribute inot the relationship. Everything you do may break or help you and your partner. Be honest and truthful towards the one that you love. Don’t be scared to tell teh truth because if you wait, it will affect your relationship much worse. Stay positive and trust your lover because once you start to act weird and question you partner, your lover will also act the same way. Look pass the negatives and spend more time creating wonderful memories. There is also something that some people don’t know is that lvoe is also learning to let that boy or girl go for the better. Don’t be selfish because your not the only one that likes your lover. Things happen for a reason and just take it and move on. Don’t sit and weep over the one you lost and just move on. Don’t look for love, but let love find you.
DS, Junior, M
Love is knowing you could die for someone, and be okay with it.
HB, Junior, M
Love is beain totally free wiht another person where you never have to make up lies or imaginery stories about yourself to impress the person. Love is feeling and beeing totally accepted.
JH, Junior, M
Love is when you have no control over your feelings, you often care about someone more than you do about yourself.
TW, Junior,M
Love is definitely over-rated. Sometimes love is apply to overwhelm you and have you feeling and doing things that are totally out of contrary for you personal pellets. Morals, or what you found at one point in time, crazy. Love is an emotion that leaves you thinking with you heart instead of thinking with logic. With love comes decisions, consequences, problems, commitment, determination, and a real uncanny need/want for that responsibility. Love is a responsibility as well. Once you say you love someone you have agreed to take on the responsibility of keeping you word, cherishing what you placed yourself in, not hurting them. Love can be fraud and the fear of ocunterfeit love can hold you back from something that may be real. Love is not all that it is made out to be…but yet, I can see myself without.
AG, Junior, F
Love is a feeling that is brought on by chemicals in the body, which causes you to show affection towards someone.Sometimes your affection for someone captures your attection so much you forget about yourself and what others think.
KW, Junior,F
Love is a word that means many things.It’s the undying feeling you have for someon. If you love somebody, you don’t give up on them easiily. Love takes time, patience, strength, courage, and honesty. It’s about accepting that person , no matter their flaw.
NH, Junior, F
Everyone is entitled ot their own opinion of love. There is no specific meaning.
Love does not exist. Love is hypocrisy. You say one thing to mean another. Love is like our thoughts. We are aware of it but it is not something we can physically touch, and is not concrete. But we know that it does exist because we believe it does. Our thoughts are capable of creating things that do not exist, such as love. We know our thoughts are real because we can “hear it” . How do we know love is real? What is real love? It is merely a construction of our thoughts to explain why we feel the way we do. It is a word used to feel as if we matured within a relationship. Love is nothing yet everything.
LH, Sophmore, F
Love is getting those butterflies around them. Not being able to talk right when you see them, going to sleep thinking abou tthem and waking up thinking about that same person. Love is for that one special person.
BJ, Sophmore, M
Love in my opinion is putting someone you really care about in front of you at all times. Live to please that person in whatever way possible. To love someone is to cherish them and enjoy their presence at all times.
JL, Sophmore, M
Love is just a word until you find someone to give it a definition. I fell hard for the wrong person. You know hwy they say it falling in love because eventually you hit the ground. “When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.
CB, Sophomore, F
Love is gay. And stupid. But its the best part of life.
BF, Sophmore, F
Love is a state of mind, when you feel it in you herat you just feel it. Those who haven’t experiece love can’t say it’s a state of mind because they never felt that rush of passion when you come across your first love. Love is very tricky too, it can either bring you close or tear you apart it can make you or break you. Love can be used as a weapon sometimes, so be careful. If you eve come across it. Love can be negative or positive, it can make you do crazy things that will make you think twice about your character. Usually when people use love it’s for some benefit of some sort, but how you interpret it is up to u.
KW, Sophmore F
I think love in a relationship is really caring about that someone and knowing that you can trust and believe them at all times. But love can also mean you just love their company and is just happy to be with them
AB, Sophmore, F
Love is trusting the other person and being yourself around them. It’s about not having to show off and being completely comfortable. When you’re in love, the other person is all you think/talk about. You miss them uncontrollably when you aren’t around them. Love is accepting the other persons flaws.
KM,Sophmore, F
My relationship starte out well, but I got bored of it and decided to stop dating her. We barely talked because it seemed akward so yea…. as a result love is a gamble yo have to say “entertained” in order for it to work and for you (me) to keep interest in.
DD, Sophmore, M
Love is lust. MA, Freshman, M
Love is caring for someone more than yourself. Feeling like you can be with them forever and being content with it. Love is happy and fun and spontaneous. It’s without end, relentless. Love is never giving up regardless of the circumstances. Love is forever and always. An uup and down battle of showing commitment and trust and togetherness. Love is crazy and painful, but overall, its the most amazing thing that will ever happen to you. ES,Freshman, F
I have asked for people for their own opinions on what love is. Many people have even asked to read what others have wrote. So here it is. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion so no need to criticize anyone. Also if you want to contribute feel free to.
I am writting a paper on what is love? Its a question we all ask. We all have our varying opinions on what it is. Some even wonder if it is even real. Teenage love is holding hands, defining the unknown with that person,constantly being with the one,it is everything and thinking it will be forever. Then the day will come when hearts will break. Most adults would think teenagers were just caught up in the moment. Maybe they are right. But sometimes it will be the most real thing that teenager may ever feel in their life. So whose right? Love is a perception. What is love? Is it real? Is it worth it?
