Learning LOVE

Before, I usually get annoyed knowing that almost all songs played in the radio are love songs. Love is perhaps the most overrated topic of all. From songs to poems, and even t-shirt designs, there's the word LOVE. I actually got a WTF face after seeing that my professor, while teaching pain management in critical care nursing suddenly correlated love in the topic. What is wrong with everyone? Is love everything in this world already? I don't understand. Well, I didn't.

They say that experience is the best teacher of all. I definitely agree. There are some things that vicarious learning alone will not teach you. And it's the best things in life that only first-hand experience will be able to teach you. I may sound cheesy but the word that I always argue about is one of those things that experience teaches best. LOVE.

It is when you start loving that all love songs makes sense.
It is when you start loving when poetic lines of pink and red spontaneously leave your lips.
It is when you start loving when you suddenly want to wear t-shirts bearing love quotes or even couple shirts.
It is when you start loving when you try to incorporate love in every subject in class.
It is when you start loving when you finally understand what it is.

and it is when I started loving that I suddenly felt free.

I think I sounded cheesy enough. Love can make you do a lot of things you can never imagine... that includes spending just to send a handwritten letter to someone 974.16 kilometers away from you. But nahhh, let's not talk about the details. What's important is the gist of this entry... love.

Maybe my former self will slap me in the face telling me I shouldn't be posting this erroneous blog entry (much more love someone I shouldn't be in loved with. *laugh*). Before, I disliked using the word for it sounds so cheap. But just in this short post, I used it 21 times. Well, what can I say, I'm in love... my former self wasn't. That makes the difference.
