What is our obsession with love? Now, I'm not absurd, I am human, I understand we need love to feel exactly that. Yet we are obsessed with not all love. We simply obsess over the romantics.

As a person in love, you'd think I'd be the most sympathetic. But I have a different view entirely.

General love is what you need. Not always mushy, cute, romantic, sappy love. You need the love that supports, the love that hold you high on broken ledges and let you achieve your dreams and reach for the stars.

You don't need the big things to validate your love, and you don't need validation constantly. Trust in love, you trust in your family, and your friends, so why not trust in your other half as well?

It drives me crazy so much around pertains to romance. Its not the romance, the wooing, that matters. its the love. Pardon me, but **** all this romance *******. I don't need a thousand roses or a fancy necklace to prove someone loves me. I need a paper crane and a promise, the little signs that remind me of what matters.

Funny enough, a thousand years comes to my speakers. Ignoring its romantic aspects, being brave is important. The brave gestures are what matter.

No one needs a significant other. They just need love, and love does not always come in such romantic forms. As the Beatles wisely said, all you need is love.

And I try to live by that, in the best way I can.
