Human nature has always fascinated me. The myriad of emotions, the intricate and delicate balance of our insecurities, doubts, love, our desires, our hopes, our disappointments and joys- all intermingled, and creating a new person everyday. Everyday we change, knowingly or unknowingly either into a better version of ourselves or someone that we hardly recognize.
Life happens, things change, we go through turbulence, our lives upheaved by situations beyond our control. Everyday brings its own challenge, every new day, we learn to live and find joys and give a positive spin to our disappointments and sorrows.
Of all the emotions, the one that is most complex is when two people fall in love. Love as a generic term is beautiful and everything positive, yet when it casts its shadow in exclusive relationships, when there is an expectation of commitment, it invites jealousy, insecurities, anxiety, sleeplessness, and many other emotions that play havoc on your heart.
Being in love is when the other person's well being becomes more important than your own. Their presence seeps into your soul and becomes an integral part of your well being, so much so that your happiness is dependent on their every nuance, every gesture, and their every word. Illogical, unreasonable, powerful yet powerless love, sublime when fulfilled and leading you to the depths of despair when unrequited. What is it about romantic love -that can create masterpieces, poetry and art and also cause wars and lead people to unjustifiable horrific crimes?
Deciphering the secrets of heart and understanding the way love works, seems like a task that will remain unresolved even as mankind progresses to cross the barriers in space.
