What is love to you?

Love is subjective. It is an emotion felt by every breathing beings, human or not.

Love to me, is the feeling of being comfortable and safe. I feel that when I am surrounded by my family and friends. Not forgetting, my beloved dogs. They are my loved ones. When I'm happy, they'll be ecstatic. When I'm sad, they'll be devastated. When I'm angry, they'll be furious. If that is not love, then what is it?

Of course, sometimes love can be dangerous and mysterious. That is, if it involves a boy. In my case, being single for so long, I've forgotten how it feels to fall head over heels, feeling butterflies in your stomach over a male human. But I have felt it, and surely would not mind feeling it again. Just not anytime soon.

Imagine life as your favorite curry dish. You have all the ingredients that you need to make the perfect curry. Except for one. The secret spice. Without it, your curry may taste perfectly fine, but you can't help but wonder, why does it taste like something is missing? That, my friends, is how life will feel like, when you don't have love floating around. It's the secret spice in life. It gives the oomph feeling that you get when you wake up on a sunny Sunday morning.

So, love to me, does not only make me feel comfortable and safe, but it also makes life interesting and vibrant with colors. It's the secret ingredient that leads to a happy, worth living life. Like a wise author once said, eat, pray and LOVE.
