Love is a powerful word, it is endearing to both the ears of the one who professes it and to the one who it’s being affirmed to. To some love is beautiful, glamorous, kind, patience, when it’s all good and intoxicating. But to many, love is cruel, bitter and a facade, when it has all gone sour.
So many people are prisoners of love. Love is supposed to be an adorable thing, something you look up to, something that puts a smile on your face whenever you think about it, and when you feel the butterflies, you wish it would last forever.
In the prison of love is like living in Cavity; you feel comfortable in a deep blue sea where your life is ending; you feel the pain but you don’t dare to walk out of the relationship, the fear sets you back thinking you will not find someone else better than him; you are stuck with no one to cry out your heart to. It’s like being in a room with no exit – you might feel suffocated, unhappy, or unable to pursue you.
When you say “I Love You”, do you mean it? And what do I Love You mean to you?
Are you a prisoner of love? Or have you imprisoned love? Let me know in the comments
Wonderful post and I especially appreciate second paragraph of your write up. There is so much gravity and beauty in the second paragraph and analogy of butterfly is very good.
Thank you, Dr. Prakash
Hi Dimmajo, I thought to just glance through your post but got stuck.
So I read your insightful blog post on love seriously than I thought I would when Ilanded here, and I couldn’t help but reflect on the profound questions you posed at the end. Love, indeed, is a complex emotion that can be both a source of joy and, at times, a challenge.
Personally, I can tell you that when I say “I love you,” I want the person to know that these words come from the depths of my heart. It means more than just a fleeting emotion; it signifies a commitment to cherish and support her/him, even in moments of imperfection. To me, saying “I love you” implies an acceptance of the person’s flaws, a celebration of his/her strengths.
Love, in its true essence, goes beyond the glamorous and intoxicating moments. It’s a journey that involves both sunshine and storms. So, when I express my love, I mean to say, “I love you despite any challenges we may face, and I am committed to navigating through them together.”
As for the question of being a prisoner of love, I want to assure you that I don’t feel confined or restricted in my relationship. No one should. Love, to me, is a liberating force that encourages personal growth and mutual understanding. I believe in the freedom to be ourselves, to evolve as individuals, and to share our lives without fear of judgment.
In the connections that I have, I find solace and inspiration rather than confinement. Love uplifts us, and I’m grateful to say that’s what it does for me. I am not a prisoner of love; instead, I am liberated by the beauty of the shared emotions and experiences.
Thank you for prompting such introspection with your thought-provoking questions. I look forward to hearing more of your thoughts on this fascinating topic.
Wishing you much love and happiness.
Thank you Ravindra for your insightful contributions
An equal partner in love.
