What Love is....

Love is the perfect equilibrium of pain and pleasure, support and challenge, nice and mean, pleasant and unpleasant, like and dislike.

If you think it is going to be nice all the time you are living in a fantasy. It is the constant push pull and balancing. It is the neutralizing and reconciling of opposites.

Living in a fantasy world is being connected to the one-sidedness of love.

Very cool. Thanks. Please support with an upvote if possible. If not that's ok too.

it’s really good to be inlove it makes you happy and inspired all the time, but the most painful thing at the same time huhuhu.

For me, I dont think love is the perfect equilibrium of pain and pleasure. It should be pleasure more than pain. Somehow i never really measure which is more, coz i believe loving genuinely is expecting less from that person and his or her happiness is the main priority. With or without a "me" in her or his life. Hopefully, i didnt offend you with my comment

You didn’t, but we have to look at it with more balance you have to take the good with the bad, and understand the “grey areas” of such a vast emotion. Great comment!

Give space and you get love; give love and you get space.
When you love someone, you’re the nicest and the meanest too them. You support and challenge, you’re pleasant and unpleasant, you lift them up and you put them down, you do things for them and ignore them. Those are the two sides of love. The myth says that you’re supposed to show only one side, but that creates tension in a relationship and in your life because it represses half of the truth.

Wow really nice
