There are days, like this, that it seems to me that the only love that is true, pure, and everlasting are the ones in the books and movies. Everyday that passes by, I think more and more that love is just a fantasy. Something we once had the privilege of obtaining but since everyone is so caught up in new and modern and everything else, the love has just simply gone away. Love is now only something that is made up. I once believed in terms called, "soul mates", "true love", "love at first sight", "love of my life".
But now, they have translated into this; "person who knows who I am and I know who they are", "friendliness that has expanded", "lust at first sight", "someone whom I'm putting up with for the rest of my life, and vice versa". It's saddening the amount of divorces that are happening around the world. It's saddening, that almost everywhere you look, there isn't love there. I still see some remnants of love in the air. Like how parents love their children (but even then, that's becoming less and less), or when you look into the eyes of an old friend and it's a friendly love that sits there.
Family love that happens when you've seen a relative after a long time. Even with this type of love still being in the air; love, true, pure, passionate love has almost vanished completely. It exist in the novels and the movies, but you rarely ever see it in real life. You search your whole life for your supposed "soul mate", but you never experience the 'life-changing feelings' that you supposedly have.
In the end, what I'm trying to say is; search for love all you want. It's not going to make it any easier to find. Especially if it possibly doesn't even exist.
