Love can do some remarkable things.

I've read articles where humans have lifted cars to save the injured. Love is the reason Harriet Tubman risked life and limb. I've even watched a few National Geographic shows where mother gazelles have thrown themselves into the mouth of predators to death for life, to save their newborns.

Love is a wild thing. Most scientist can't even quantify it, yet they believe it's power.

So.

Is Romantic Love an addition to life or does it steal from us?

The answer is (at least for me) both.

Everywhere I look. Every piece of content I inhale. There's someone preaching about what it takes to find true love but in this generation (although we have a population of around 8billion) there seems to be a shortage of compliant partners. So many breakups. So many hookups just to never hookup again.

I'm no guru on romance but I am a quick study of life and society. I'm just an aesthetic learner in this regard.

What I see in this life are the many in search of the world outside while maintaining a neglectful nature for all things internal. When it's their internal dialogue that's going to bring them to love in their waking life and rarely the opposite.

It's one thing to preach about self love but it's simply not enough to post about it. Who shows up for YOU when you're trying to showup for everyone else.

What we do know about love is that in most cases it's completely irrational; the laws that it breaks, and the sacrifices that we make for love, don't always add up for those looking in but it feels oh so heavenly to us.

While I'll never tell a human how to love nor be loved. I do believe there is a right and wrong time to be in love. Sometimes what we need are more hours of configuring who we are as individuals not for the sake finding a perfect match but for the sake of understanding what we are capable of receiving before that package ever lands on our doorstep.

So.

Is romantic love really the answer?

The answer varies but I do think we stand a better chance at finding ourselves in our partners if we know what we're looking for to being with.
