L-O-V-E: The Hard Way

Falling in love is the sweetest thing a person will ever feel in his entire lifetime - and I mean, romantic love. For love changes the entire game play. It is the reason some leave their successful careers, living low key off from the high society, or maybe changing one's religious beliefs. You see, a lot of things can change in the name of love. And mixed feelings can be felt, be it smile cannot be taken away from your face, you feel a lot of positive energy, gives inspiration for work or at school, and maybe good vibes (as this generation would say) allow you to be more productive yet rejuvenated. But this four-letter word substantially differs among individuals. Read below some of the greatest love letters that will somehow help us - the rookies  - enlighten for this thing they call love:

John Keats to Fanny (1820):

Sweetest Fanny,
You fear, sometimes, I do not love you so much as you wish?
My dear girl I love you ever and ever and without reserve.
The more I have known you the more have I lov'd.

Juliette Drouel to Victor Hugo (1835):

You are not only the solar spectrum with the seven luminous colours,
but the sun himself, that illumines, warms, and revivifies!
This is what you are, and I am the lowly woman that adores you.

Woodrow Wilson to Edith Galt (1915):

You are more wonderful and lovely in my eyes than you ever were before;
and my pride and joy and gratitude that you should love me
with such a perfect love are beyond all expression,
except in some great poem which I cannot write.

Lucky for those who already found their better halves. Maybe it was the person they bumped in MRT, someone they met on the internet, a schoolmate, a co-worker, or maybe a total stranger. Some through a short and easy way to finding someone that completes them. But for others, a long detour is necessary and is still running along the pavement. If love is synonymous with happiness, how can a person be happy if he haven't found the love of his life? The one he can sit adjacent to while watching the sun sets? Or would it be better to stay right where you stand until the one finds you? After two consecutive failed personal attempts on being happy, I learned the hard way - let love find you. After all, you're not the only one seeking for love. We can never tell that your better half might be also finding you. And as Carrie Bradshaw would always tell Samantha Jones (SATC), "Good things come to those who wait."
