This Perspective Is So Interesting And Eye Opening - Tumblr Posts

2 years ago

when I think of love I think of cuddling and feeling nervous for romantic, sitting in the same room doing different things for familial, and the same for platonic but slightly more talking.

It's all very vague and literally just my experiences.

I feel like the way love is described is so vague that there's no way there can be one way to experience it. Maybe other people actually can articulate what different types of love are to them, and others can only describe it through images, or actions, or whatever. Doesn't matter cause it's all valid.

I don't think love is like other emotions where there are common experiences we can generally point to and most people will relate so it's not that hard to represent. Things like happiness, sadness, and anger. Like when Inside Out came out there wasn't a lot of controversy over how the emotions were represented because those were the common interpretations of them.

Love is different though. It's personal and there are rarely two people who experience it the same way. We all show love differently, experience different types of love, experience it in different ways.

If you recognize something as love, then that's what it is because that's what it is to you. there is no correct way or even common way, otherwise more people would be able to articulate it. Just, love how you love.

Very well said, Anon.
