Day 5 - Definition of love

I really have no idea what to write for this. I know I'm in love and that there's different types of love, but I don't have a definition of it. Everyone experiences love differently so I've never actually felt the need to come up with a definition.

Let's see, romantic love is of course the best kind there is. I feel happier with Cody than I've ever been, it's the best being around him and I hate when he leaves. It's so hard to describe how it feels to others though. I still get all excited to see him in the mornings and goosebumps and butterflies are the best. I think you have to be patient and accepting with someone to actually experience this kind of love. You can't always want them to change everything or have a shitload of expectations when you start a relationship because if you do you'll probably be let down. You have to understand that your not always right and it's not only your feelings that matter anymore. I like that I have someone to experience life with now. I don't want to go out and experiment or anything, I feel content just staying home with him and watching zombie movies.

And there's friend love. It's not nearly the same as romantic love, but you still need to be able to listen to others and to not think your always right. I don't really know how to describe this one either. There's a whole lot of late night phone calls, sleepovers and movie outings usually. Lot's of talking and ranting takes place. Also, if you were in my group of friends there was usually a good amount of random touching and hugging. We were very affectionate,ha. It's nice to have a friend there when you really need someone to talk to or just to hang around with :)

Plus there's the whole family love and pets, but I've done horrible at describing those two so I don't think I'm going to describe the rest. The only thing I can say is I like being around my pets more than I like being around some people, so there's a good amount of love there!
