falling in love seems like a bad idea nowadays, the disappearance of true love, where did it go?

People used to define “Love” as something that deeply connected two humans in a way that ineffable. It’s like a sacred connection. A kind of connection that only requires God’s approval.

People used to describe the feeling of “Love” as if it’s beyond everything. Magical, heavenly, surreal. The kind of feeling you will get when you’re lying in the midst of a flower garden with rain-scented ground.

“Love” used to live through the narrative such as,

“The moon is beautiful, isn’t it ?”

“In a room full of art, I would still stare at you.”

“To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die.”

“I have late night conversations with the moon, he tells me about the sun and I tell him about you.”

“I pray for you.”

It’s not the same anymore. People tainted the concept of love by cheating on their partner, lying to them, even worse that some people made them as a Plan B. The whole idea of “Love” that people used to know is just vanished in the blink of an eye.

These days, people tend to associate the term of “Love” with lust, obsessive, power to abuse the other. It’s saddening, to realize that the young generation might not have the chance to experience the genuine version of “Love”.

I used to live several chapters of life where there’s still a fine line between love and lust. But now, it’s nowhere near the term “sacred”. It’s not a new sight to see some people choose not to marry or prefer to be alone all their life.

Mankind yearns for love where it’s still pure as an innocent child, delicate as a falling snow in December, warm like a coast breeze, and looks picturesque like the moon on a summer night.

Being an idealist as always in this realistic world, I believe that some of us are still on searching for true love and so am I. What a relieve that some people still put their faith on it. It’s proof that the existence of “Love” is worth holding on to.

I do hope that somewhere in this fast evolving world, there’s still a place for love to bloom. I hope that love thrives and lives the way it should be. I do believe, there’s still a chance.

I hope the presence of long-lost true love makes an appearance and leads us to the place where we should be.
