Love is never overrated.
I've never been in love, yeah, I know, but there's still my family and all my friends around me to prove it.
Why? Well. Is there any other reason why a person would do erratic things completely out of their usual habits just to make that other person happy? Is there any other thing that can make you feel like the luckiest person on earth, when you feel that warm, fuzzy feeling from the top of your head to the tip of your tingling toes? Is there any other reason why someone, who has lost his everything, can still keep fighting for hope from a seemingly cavalier God?
There is no other reason.
Whether it's a mother's love, a lover's love, or platonic love, can we really say that we can do without it?
I used to hate the word 'love'. I laughed at mushy girls who believed in the fantasy of love at first sight. I scorned those who cried at soppy romantic movies.
But now?
I do believe in love at first sight. I believe that somewhere out there, whether it's Toa Payoh or Alaska, there is someone else fated to be with us for the rest of our lives. Yeah, we may not find him, even at the end of our lives, but isn't that hope enough to keep searching? Isn't it reason enough to believe in love? Because that someone can bring us the most blissful happiness we have never known.
And because of this, now, I cry along with friends during sweet, romantic movies. Yeah, it may just be television, but I feel it. I know what the scenes are trying to convey, I feel the love of that person for another, and because of that undying, unconditional love, I cry.
So, why do so few people believe in true love?
I don't know, and I feel sad that they don't. Because, love is a magical, beautiful thing. You can't see it, but you can feel it.
And is there a proper age to fall in love?
I don't think so. Whether you're seventy, forty or ten years old, I think that it's amazing to be in love. There isn't an age for it. When love finds you, it just does.
