Love.

So, in English, we've been assigned a definition paper on love, and I realized I have a really strict definition of it. It's not like, your normal ooey gooey definition, and it's not a dictionary definition either. But there are like, 4 different kinds of love to me, so I have to find a way to define them all.

• Friend love-That's the kind of love when you know that no matter what mistakes you may make or how badly things turn out that you will always be able to trust them, and that they will not ever turn their backs to you.
• Parental love-That's love that you get from your parents, clearly. It's unconditional. No matter what happens, your parents are there. They'll love you more than a true friend will. There's no catch, they just love you, and always will.
• Objective love- Love for a sport, a phone, etc etc. Not for another person. It's often the most rewarding, in terms of achievement anyways, and is also often unrequited.

This leaves one kind of love. The kind I have yet to define. I find it inexplicable, often only caused by a chain reaction of chemicals in the central nervous system, yet it is the most enjoyable of them all. 

• Romantic love- I think everyone has their own definition here, and I don't think saying I love you to your significant other every five minutes is necessary. If you love them, and they love you, then you don't need to keep saying it, as to assure yourself. But you either love someone or you don't. There is no think, just as there is no try. You do or do not. You either know, or you hold it in. There are people who say overuse I love you, but I don't think it refers to this. I tell my friends I love them all the time. I haven't said it once to my girlfriend. Honestly though, how do you know when you are in love? I have no clue, but I get the feeling I'm going to find out soon enough.
