I Am In Love

I've actually never been in love. Don't really think it exists especially in today's society. I think people confuse love with lust. Today people date for a month and suddenly they're in love. Few months later they're with someone else and they love that person. I don't want something temporary. I want that unconditional kind of love no matter what the circumstances are. Very rare though today. I think I have a better chance meeting the pope or winning the lottery than finding someone genuine who loves me unconditionally.

I think you're right. There are always conditions.

Bonding neurochemicals tend to fade after 6 months to 2 years. I do think people tend to confuse that "high" feeling for love. But also wonder whether or not love is possible, without it. Has to be there to some degree.

Still. There are plenty of men who end up dying to protect those they care about. I can't imagine they would die for lust.
