No science just Love

After going through the 8 episodes of Modern Love, I realize that there are no ways to classify love. Love comes in all shapes, sizes and ways to us. Every relationship has its own rules and languages. The rules that others may not find acceptable and language that others will never understand. But then what will you do when there comes a point that you don’t understand and cannot accept it yourself?

Each relationship comes to a point of test, a turning point or a breakpoint from where it either grows or it dies. When something like that happens to our body, we go and see a doctor. the doctor advises us to take the next medicine, the next test or maybe, not to take any more treatment. But then, when the same thing happens to our heart what do we do? Who can we talk to? Who can we go to ask is it worth trying or is it done?

We often grow comfortable of our surroundings. We fill ourselves with things we love the most. But then what do we love the most? Things that remind us of our pasts, our memories or our present that we live in or our future, the things that we aspire to? I think we all strive to reach a balance of these three things in life and the moment one beats another, we find ourselves amid a storm.

For me, a positive relationship is one where we can be in the present, still talk about the past and look forward to a future. It can be with your mum, your dad, your boss, your partner or even your car! Do you find yourself there? Only you will be able to answer. Someone can help you by asking these questions and creating moments where you find the answers to these questions but that is all.
