Amen to that. Once is all you really need and when you find the right person, life is blissful.

Couldn't agree more. The greatest challenge lies in finding that one.

Why not fall in love once and then daily anew? It is easy to fall in love. It's hard to stay on that "in love" frequency of vibration.

If you notice, I said "deeply". Its east to fall in love,agreed; But whats hard is to find and keep that deep love which requires a LOT of understanding and compromise which many individuals don't agree to give each other in this time and age. Also, I mentioned "at least" where i hope everyone finds that deep genuine love at least once in their life time than never find it all, which many individuals unfortunately live without. However,some others are blessed to find it more than once.

Finding your soul mate, staying in love and ending up with that first true soul mate for the rest of your life is the entire package that few blessed individuals have the privilege of experiencing.
Some find the soul mate alright, but they loose them during the process of loving them.

some find the soul mate, stay in love, but cannot spend the rest of their life with that person.

some find their soul mate, stay in love forever, and live with that person for the rest of their life, but loose the love they crave for in the process.

Some find their soul mate, stay in love, but their heart doesn't have the capacity to hold on to that love, and end up loosing their soul mate.

Some find their soul mate, lose their soul mate and find someone who is willing to give them their lives, but the heart simply does not give back the same intensity of the former.

Some never find their soul mate, and live their lives in blissful ignorance!

Some never find their soul mate, and live their lives in wishful agony...

Thank You for your explicit feedback! Appreciate it.

I've fallen in what seemed to be love, once. She is an absolute angel, but it appears for now that it is best that we stay apart. I thought after nearly 18 years she might be the one, since then I haven't considered love at all.

Hey max,

Well, very often in life unless we take an initiation we'd never know the outcome of a particular scenario. If you feel it's worth staying in a passive phase for now, then follow your heart; But don't stay embedded in it for too long that it creates a dangerous comfort zone for you. You wouldn't want to give out wrong signals right? Its best you express your thoughts to this Angel sooner than later.

All the Best,
Dina Sadik

Very TRUE. Had the chance to experience and she still lives in me, memories of her are more often than full moon a month.
But as one person above mentioned, I felt it but for some reason it didnt continue.

Keep up the work Dina.

Love...fall in LOVE...what is it all? we speak about it so much, that it seems to become just a word, just a dream that lives within us. What it really is, does anyone know? If so, please enlighten, because evrytime that i thought THIS IS IT, this is what they all sopeak about, this is what i was waiting for and Allah is so gracious has given it to me. And in the end...well and then there was The End. I think if it is LOVE then it should never had an End. Because LOVE is selfless, forgiving, generous,pure...but above all is endless or that is how i think it should be. Now the possibilities are as follows:
1) I am or have not been lucky enough to meet that LOVE
2) I have met and failed to recognise it and lost along the way
3) I am still to meet it.
Very much hope for the latter one, because really i feel now just how much i am capable of giving

Interesting thing about memories is that the good ones hurt more than the bad once. Fazz, life is already complicated, so useless trying to complicate it more: do not make the past spoil your present and do not live in the constant missing of the past: either make your past your Present - i.e. go back and return it. Or forget it and continue anew. Sometimes, it takes a break up to realise what you really feel and need. Othertimes we break up feeling lost yet we find something better twofold.
Listen to your heart.

Fazz & M-

Yes, sometimes in life it takes a break up to realize more than it takes a life time of lessons of success. Agreed M, Life is complicated indeed. We need to propel forward, learning from the past. If we dwell in the past, we miss out on the present which is irreplaceable. There is definitely more people out there who would appreciate you for who you truly are. Life isn't so unfair to design every encounter with replicas of the same personality. So live your life as best as You can, as every sunrise unfolds another beautiful day full of possibilities. May everyone find tranquility in love.

To the person who asked what is Love-

Love is inexplicable. That is what makes it such an infinitely vast and attractive topic. Some look for it all their life, while others quit halfway through. Some find it accidentally. While others build it over a life time. Its definition varies at an individual level based on experiences and beliefs. As for your question, given the 3 options, I'd say option (3). Yes, agreed Love should last a very long time. Sometimes we are overwhelmed meeting someone admirable that we mistakenly conclude the feeling as Love. The beauty of love blossoms as it grows with us, as we give and receive. If it diminishes or disappears, then it was a different feeling mistakenly and hastily concluded or perceived as Love. May You find the Genuine Love you truly deserve.

Love Your Life and Life Loves You Back.

Thank You Karen. Sometimes it takes another loving soul to remind you how much Life is worth Loving...

I agree with you Dina. Sometimes it does that take another loving soul to remind us of the richness of life & what really matters.

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength while loving someone deeply gives you courage."
Lao Tzu

You maybe 19, 47 or 69 - Everyone deserves to be loved and admired. Remember, nobody from Adam to Doom's Day will ever be perfect. Love is neither limited by age nor external beauty. It is an essential entity everyone needs till their last breathe, although some maybe too victimized via bitter experiences to admit this. May everyone be loved for the right reasons.

Liked that everyone be loved for the right reasons.

We ALL have different gifts from God at different phases of Life. They deserve to be appreciated genuinely undoubtedly.
