whats so great about love?

Yes yes I know I'm supposed to be studying, but I got bored! And i need a break, so I picked up one of my many many romance novels and started reading. Which got be on the topic of love. and then suddenly I thought, just how important can love be? Seriously though, is it that important?

Wikipedia's defination of love; Love is any of a number of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection and attachment. Any number of emotions and experiances? Whaaa...? Argh. Nevermind. Forget the complicated explanations, we'll just get to simple answers. :p

From my bestie, MeiMei.

and being love

wah. another deep answer. but she's right though. Hafta love to experiance the feeling of being in love.

But is it really necessary? I somehow find love somewhat over rated sometimes. The couples holding hands, sweet nothings whispered in ears, the gifts, the sentiments, only to have it break apart all over months later just because you find you're not compatible. Then what happens to the gifts? Watsed in the trash. The sweet nothings? They become just that. Nothings.

Yet sometimes, you have to admit, love is such a wonderful feeling. To feel protected, to feel cherished and love, to feel like someone wants and needs you. But yet, can't you get that feeling with family? So why do you need your 'other half' as the more sappy people put it?

Don't get me wrong, I'm a total romantic. I love romance, and novels and dramas were, and will always be a weak point with me. But sometimes I have to shake myself and remind myself that this is the real world, and fairytale stories just don't happen. No Prince Charming, no Knight in Shining Armor. I however, am willing to settle for nothing less then true love when it comes to marriage, wishful thinking it may be. But for now, my family and friends would suffice, and I dare say I would be nothing without them.

But sometimes, a girl can't be faulted for dreaming of her very own Prince Charming, no? :p
