Love is Not a Season

.
love,
love?
love!
Love…
LOVE.
.
There have been thousands of books written on the subject of love. From William Shakespeare, the Brontë sisters to Nicholas Sparks, a romance novel expounds the trials and tribulations of love. Everyone wants to experience the feeling of love and being loved. It is intoxicating, encompassing, inviting, mysterious, and fires off chemistry in the body.

Evolutions of love

love, – The Comma: A friendship love, or someone you may just like. It may be brief but a pleasant respite for greater things on the horizon.
.
love? – The Questioning: When you really start to like someone a lot…you start to question. Do they really like me? Do I really like them…am I falling in love? Do they love me?
.
Love! – The Exclamation: When you are giddy in love and are constantly telling each other and everyone around you how much in love you are. The oxytocin as well as a whole cavalcade of endorphins and chemicals are flowing throughout your body and brain making you feel happy and feel tingly and warm all over.
.
Love… – The Ellipsis: The moments of hesitation, mood changes, tension, wavering of the feelings of love, leaving you insecure, out of balance, and insecure.
.
LOVE. – The Period: The solid statement. You love each other through thick and thin. No matter what happens or doesn’t happen in life. Never doubting our faith in each other.
.

But in reality, love is not delivered to us like a package from Amazon Prime. It seems to arrive when we least expect it. – Inci Jones Artist
