Holla there!
I guess it's about time for my emotional ramblings once again .
This post would be solely about my unpopular , two cents worth opinion towards 'love' .
And by the 'love' I'm referring to in this context is the romantic "love" that exist on earth , the type that Hollywood movies exist to instill a global mindset of what 'romantic love' is.
"Love", i don't think there's an actual definition to what it is. It could be a warm fuzzy feeling to someone , or perhaps a burden to another .
You see, being in love is just a state of mind we believe in when we feel a new wave of feelings overwhelming you, taking over and you're willing to do anything to keep the same feeling ablaze.
So by putting "Godly" love aside , cause I actually do believe God is up there somewhere , watching over me with His perfect love and any further arguments put forward would be rendered invalid (Actually that sounded a little bit too cheezy for comfort, right? Ha.Ha) , I'll start off with reasons on why I think love sucks .

1. Love makes you vulnerable .
In order to maintain a good relationship , you have to tolerate each other to a great length . You would have to change your age old perception towards something in order to love another . As an example , you would have to change your believes towards something in order to fit in with your other half . And I believe that in the process of doing so , you'll slowly shred the walls you've built up around you for years , exposing your vulnerable self to someone you "love" , making it easier for the person you love to harm you .

2. Love brings up attachment and higher expectations .
The longer you are in a relationship , the more attached you will be with each other . You would have to face the agony of waiting for a text or a call from your the person you love . And by waiting, you'll start to doubt yourself with unnecessary questions like , "Has he/she fallen for another?" "Is he/she talking to someone else?" "Am I not important enough to receive a good morning text?" "Am I being ignored?" and so on. And the pain that comes after detachment hurts way worse than that . Apart from that , you'll expect more from your partner , but the higher the expectation, the higher the fall. You'll probably expect to receive at least a text or a call everyday but if he/she doesn't do so, you'll be disappointed , which therefore leads to sadness .

3. Love is uncertain and it hurts .
How sure are you that the love you have for someone would last a long time ? How sure can you be that you'll never get bored of being with the same person? This proves how uncertain love can be as nothing last forever . And as you watch your partner fall for someone else , all that's left is history . Apart from that , love hurts when a couple is not willing to break off a relationship that has withered long ago cause they believe that they might harm their other half by breaking it off and they would rather suffer silently .

And contrary to what I've just blogged about , I do believe in true love and that love is capable to change someone for good . But, what are the chances of finding your true love? To quote "The Only Exception" ,
"Maybe I know somewhere , deep in my soul that love never last
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone or keep a straight face
Up until now I've sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness."

I've sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness...
