Humans talk so much about love, but how do you know what love is? And if a feel you feel is love?
The first time I felt what I thought was love, it was someone else's will. And it was sticky, heavy like my chest was constricted and I couldn't breathe, like I was choking on it.
The next time, I felt elated and weightless, like all pain and sorrow had vanished from the world and my memories. I knew eventually, I'd be hurt but... in that moment, I believed nothing could harm me, and it still cut like a knife when it happened.
Could both of those feelings be love? Or is love something else entirely? Can you hurt someone and still love them? Is being hurt by someone you care for and accepting that hurt a form of love?
How do you know if you're even capable of such feelings?

Don't make any decisions while you're still upset. We all want the things that will make us feel the best as quickly as possible, but we can be wrong. Take your time.
