What is Love?
You'll Be Okay by Kirsten Ching
âGetting over a painful experience is much like crossing monkey bars. You have to let go at some point in order to move forward.â ~C. S. Lewis
When we ask, âwhat is loveâ itâs usually because weâre unsure if a certain special someone really loves us. Love is the most powerful feeling everyone can experience. Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. Love is not something you feel, itâs something you do. The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart.
We sometimes fall in love with the wrong person, thinking that they might be âthe oneâ but the sad truth is theyâre not. Just like a roller coaster ride, there are ups and downs. There are times when they make you feel like a princess, but other times they bring you down. Being around a toxic person can do real damage. Youâve done everything for them but in the end of the day, they still donât acknowledge your efforts.
Even if you still love the person, the only thing the you can do is to accept the fact that they do not like you.
After thoroughly thinking it through we can finally grasp the fact that they are in love with another person, and be happy for them because they are with the one they like.
Everything happens for a reason. You didnât get the person you wanted, but there is someone else right in front of you. You donât acknowledge them because you are busy looking the other way.
Finding someone will come naturally, stop looking for âthe oneâ. Turn your attention to yourself- get to know and accept yourself, to heal, and discover different parts of yourself. Carry on with an existence that is significant. Discover satisfaction in your life, you need to satisfy yourself, not someone else. If you feel insecure and alone, you are likely to look for someone who will fill the inner emptiness and give you the love you are seeking. The problem is that no one can do this for you; it is something you need to learn to do for yourself.
Need to be more joyful? Start by regarding yourself. That may sound plainly obvious, however excessively numerous individuals avoid this progression and endeavor to make themselves glad by pursuing ever-higher objectives, or holding themselves to ever-more noteworthy principles of flawlessness. the most joyful individuals make a special effort to treat themselves right and they accomplish something decent for themselves every day. They set fitting limits and deal with themselves by saying no to things when they have to.

Noah & Kate by Rhea Altarejos
I can still see the look on your face when I told you that I liked you. I can still see the your blank expression when you found out that your best friend was in love with you. Since 8th grade, I was sure of how I felt. I can feel the warmth I feel whenever I see you. How my day brightens up whenever i see your smile. It all started when it was the first day of school. I was on my way to my locker and I suddenly fell. I was humiliated, but you were the one who cared enough to help me get up and ask if I was okay. My heart fluttered for the first time. After that acquaintances became friends and friends became best friends. My life felt like it was complete with you in it. I cherished all the memories we had whenever we skipped class, ate together during lunch, hung out during weekends and everything else. I feel so stupid for actually thinking that you liked me. I feel so stupid for assuming that you did just because of the little things you did for me. I remember you saying âKate I have always loved you, but not in this wayâ and saying that the person you really liked was my best friend and not me. And in that moment, you managed to break my heart to pieces. Slowly, questions like âAm I just not pretty enough?â and âWhat does she have that I donât?â filled my head. I felt that my life was breaking into part by part, piece by piece and all I could do was just to accept the fact that there was never an us and that there would never be an us.
I've Moved On by Rissa Atienza
I liked you first.
But you didnât like me.
Sadly, this hurts.
But I hope youâre happy.
All this effort.
All these feelings.
All these problems.
Oh how I wish this could be true.
But maybe someday youâll realise
how much I love you.
Not matter what happens next.
I've moved on for the best.
