Love is caring deeply, wanting the best for someone even if it costs you
Theoretically it is unconditional
But we know that without good lookc nobody will fall in love with you
So it's like
Liking someone appearance more even if other people are more beautiful
Wanting the best for them
No matter what
And staying with them through hard times
I would like to be loved one day
But I'm not sure if I will

I think people who love others for their looks don't really love them
 
Most ppl get disappointed with love cuz they view it from a passive perspective. They treat love as something to search for and find and not something to actively create. When they think they’ve found it, they feel satisfied for a while but once the initial excitement fades they often feel disappointed or start questioning the relationship. love requires consistent effort and active participation from both people it’s not something that just happens on its own. It’s not a feeling you’re going to feel with the other person but a feeling you create with the other person.

Hopefully you can understand my point 😔

Honestly, it's not something you can describe easily. I thought I've loved previously, in previous relationships. I did to a degree, of course. But not in the current way I understand it.

This is gay so bully me if you want, but when I was reading Viktor Frankl's book "Mans Search For Meaning", I didn't expect to feel impacted in the way I did. I originally felt dread when I read the stories he had written about living in and surviving the Holocaust. The betrayal, the abuse, the struggle to find a reason to keep living. I thought the impact would've came from recognizing and listening to this man's story of horrific abuse. How I could never truly understand what he went though. How through it all, he managed to come out of it alive and how he's going to share with with the readers how he survived in this book.

Although it's true it was horrific, the actual part that shocked me and impacted me the most was his writings about his wife. He had no idea if she was alive or dead, but the thought of her alone motivated him to stay alive. When he reached rock bottom, he didn't cry about losing her - he felt happy thinking about her. Normally when someone is hungry, thinking about food can be frustrating. It makes you feel more hungry and if you're starving to death, the thought alone could make a grown man weep at the thought of having one more good meal before you die. His writings about his wife were not like that, though. It wasn't a desire to beg for his old life back, it was... well, love, in it's purest form.

I think I understand that now. Past me thought he did, and I guess current me thinks I do. So what do I know? It's hard for me to explain it other than I understood what he meant when he wrote it.
