The preoccupation of Love.


Love. There's no definite definition of it. It's an open interpretation for everyone. There's no denying that each of us in the world needs love. It doesn't necessarily mean a romantic love involve but why are most people so preoccupied with love in a romantic sense? Sure, it would feel great knowing you have a special kind of love sharing with a precious someone.

When you mention love, most people around you gets interested. It brings up different emotions based on experiences and expectations. So why love? I have nothing against this. I do believe in love and the beauty that comes with it. The dilemma I have is that people expect you to have one. It's been so long but I've been constantly asked questions regarding love. The most common question I have been asked are "Do you have a boyfriend?" followed with "Why don't you have a boyfriend? You're beautiful and smart". Thank you for the kind compliment but this type of query is becoming generic. I've kept answering this questions over and over again with honesty. It has become tiresome and boring. My relationship status doesn't define me, it doesn't define my life or what I do with it. I'm happy being single, I could do whatever I want and where I want to go without the worry of someone. I'm enjoying being single while I can but being in a relationship wouldn't hinder me from the things I want and the dreams that I aspire. I'm open to the possibility of love. I'm waiting for love to come and knock.

I will embrace love when it comes but I also believe that there's someone out there who's destined to be with me. I have my own set of expectations and standards of who I want to date and marry. It's fun going on dates and meeting new people. Time and effort are investments for a great relationship. You open yourself up, you make yourself vulnerable because love has humility. Thou, the cycle of dating could get exhausting over time. I'm not asking for perfection, I just want a sincere, genuine, and responsible man who will love me unconditionally in this world. Trust, loyalty and communication are essentials to my kind of relationship. I know there are trials, obstacles and hardship along the day but love could conquer those.

Every girl dreamed of happily ever after (thanks to watching Disney while growing up!) with her "prince". Who doesn't want that? It's for this reason that I was never afraid of falling in love. I'm waiting for the right kind of love. I don't have to be in a haste. It will come in the right time with the greatest love story. I was never afraid. I was never afraid of falling in love. I'm afraid of falling for the wrong one. That's why I wait. Wait.
