A little bit of love for everyone.


Whether you love love, hate love, or are just numb to love there is some form of love here for everyone.

I'll start with loving love- A group of professionals posed this question to a group of 4-8 year-olds, "What is love?" The answers they received were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. Read on:

“When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn’t bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That’s love.”
Rebecca 8 yrs.

“Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.”
Emily 6 yrs.

“Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of you French fries without making them give you any of theirs.”
Chrissy 6 yrs.

“Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him, to make sure the taste is OK.”
Danny 7 yrs.

“Love is what’s in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.”
Bobby 7 yrs.

“Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.”
Noelle 7 yrs.

“During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and he was smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn’t scared anymore.”
Cindy 8 yrs.

“Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.”
Mary Ann 4 yrs.

“I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones.”
Lauren 4 yrs.

Sadly, loving love often does come to an end. We then welcome, with not so open arms, heartbreak. Im sure that we all at some point in our lives have felt like our hearts were literally broken, like without love we physically wouldnt be able to survive. Its that pain inside your chest, that moment waking up when you realize it wasnt just a bad dream, that unbearable weight on your soul. This article, Hearts Actually Can Break, is a must read if you have ever felt this way.

Sometimes after the heartbreak stage we experience simply nothing at all. A numbness where the thought of love doesnt even effect us. During this time we may even feel resistant towards the idea of love. I'd like to call this the "allergic" stage. Oh thank God for the occasional epipen. I know that when I feel this way a good song about how much love sucks is all that I really want to hear. Luckily, Ive come across a site that has ten music videos all with the same theme. Ill share one with you but if you really want your fill of love sucks songs I suggest you click here.
