Love, such a general topic. Isn't it? Many talk about it! They write, how two people fall in love and then how a villain tries to separate them, and how he fails in front of their unconditional sacrifices and trust for each other, hence ending the story with 'they lived happily ever after'. What when there is no villain? What when there is no one to separate them? What about their stories? What about their ups and downs? Do they always feel attracted to each other the same way they were on the day when they realized the existence of love at first sight? Well, I doubt it, I know, many others doubt it too. So what exactly happens when you have spent a year maybe with your 'yes, he/she might be the one' person? I'll tell you. They get comfortable. Too comfortable. The passion fades. Routine is made. Changes are no more exciting. You feel that your once opened wound is covered but now some infection is spreading and you can't help it. You doubt yourself that you may fall out of love someday because the romance of which you were habitual, seems childlike, and absurd and sometimes abashing. So one abates it, other misses it. This abeyance creates bridges, fights, disagreements and eventually they walk out their different ways agreeing to the fading love.
Now can you relate why parents want their newly wed-kids to have babies after a year maybe they exchanged vows! To avoid their internal boredom( well, assuming they are normal parents). Duh!
Shakespeare said " journey's end in lover's meeting". He also said,
"love is blind". Love is blind; you are not! But what after you found your lover?
I am unable to swallow the concept of stopping to explore, to go on more adventures! If the journey's end is in lover's meeting; then what is the purpose of living?
When you find yourself in a big dark forest with no light to follow, you learn to ignite a spark. So, why not in this situation? Loving someone is challenging, it's not always easy and goes like yay, I am in love; I am singing songs...film me...NO! It demands constant patience and time to spread out self-identities together. Setting out on a new journey lets you find more about yourself that you can share with your significant one and fall in love all over again. Your journey of finding love never ends. You are your own lover, you need to keep reminding yourself that to keep reminding your significant about your individuality! Seek the help of travelling, just pack your bags and go. Because a mind stretched with new experiences can never go back to its old dimensions. New possibilities, new opportunities, new mysteries to solve and lit the spark on and on every time it gets cloudy. Every journey you'll go on will give you new meanings and reasons to carry on. Why do you have to be blind in love? I supposed that love is meant to open your eyes to more beautiful things you earlier were incapable of looking and understanding!
Well, I believe that the journey's end is when you die, and finding your lover is the true start of it;yourself included. Love is not blind, its crystal clear, it just revels you and makes you capable of doing what you have never ever imagined. Love can help you find yourself while you think you've lost yourself in the dark forest, all you need is a big smile, patience and faith in thyself and the person you believe in, sometimes it can just be you.
