The real definition of LOVE is unknown with clarity since there's many forms of love and also many unreal definitions about it. it's all confusing, the intensity, the loss and gain of emotional health and most of all the power over ourselves.
We can see love as mystical, magical or scientific and realistic, as we all have different points of view and also different expectations, which some are passed down by family or friends and also by movies which makes it more unreal to the fact that everything is perfect and they don't show the realistic side of it. Love is one of the most beautiful emotions that as humans we share and it can even makes one feel at “ home” some might say, it can be the cause of having a great day and for some feeling like a priority; the scientific side would just rely on the fact that a chemical in our body is release and make us feel and even act that way, which we become “ addicted” to feel and that's why we seek for more and take a ride into the roller coaster.
The power that love has over ourselves is something we take for granted or don't even realise it there, from even both sides such as the one with it or not, this power it risky and might be dangerous in the sense that this sufferment is not usually physical but more mentally and can be fix easily, i would say that this process is the “bad” side of love since is not love whos not working its the partner/person that starts acting differently or changing causing a shift in the relationship and also affecting the other person. Scientifically I believe this happens after the chemical release and it's over because as humans now we don't feel it the same intensity and due to that we start thinking more logically or seeing things differently, which could be the downfall of it.
Therefor the knowledge would be the last part because as we all know there's always a end to things, because it's part of life and the important part is to learn from the mistakes and also learn from yourself, balance the things between the relationship and learn how to control your feelings and also your knowledge in order to not harm others or yourself, to always be yourself and not lose yourself in the process.
Love is the” dream “ in real life, because it can be what you want or the complete opposite and since there's many definitions I believe that everyone can creates their own and the best part is that it can be unique for everyone and how many times they want too; making this the roller coaster of our inner child.
I was inspired to write this piece because of different articles that came across as I was looking for a definition and realised the outnumbers of definitions and also life stories from people with different points of views and made me more interested and to try to find a neutral point of view, in which i could separate and analyze the 3 contributes into i, becoming Love, power, and knowledge.
I liked how instead of explaining one type of love, you explained to us that there are many ways to love, it all depends on the person you ask. There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to what love is and you explained that perfectly.

I like the way you contrasted all the different forms of love. I like that she said we all view and have different definitions on what the word actually means. I 100% agree that everyone has different perspective of everything.

Love is such a complex thing, and I enjoyed reading how you analyzed its definition into the categories of power and knowledge. I agree that love has an endless amount of meanings for every perspective, and I really liked how you described a couple of meanings that love can be seen as, but still emphasizing its open interpretation.
