Moving on from wicked ...
I have been doing a little research :) into different types of love. Its really interesting and does make you think, what is this feeling.
UNREQUITED LOVE:
Its is known that usually the object to ones unrequited love is someone they see often or know quite well. Hence why it is a unrequited love as it is awkward to let ones feelings to be known. Also there's that fear that once feelings have become clear the other person would be weirded out and may all together stop all contact. It is also known that the person in love can undergo the same amount of pain as someone breaking up with a long term partner.
HARSH!
Ooooh and here's an interesting news report about it;
Which leads me onto...Unrequited love can be a 'killer'Experts say people can die from a broken heartLovesickness can kill and should be taken more seriously as a legitimate diagnosis, according to health experts.Frank Tallis, a clinical psychologist in London, is among those calling for greater awareness of the "illness" in a report in The Psychologist magazine.He said many are "destabilised by falling in love, or suffer on account of their love being unrequited" and this could lead to a suicide attempt.Dr Tallis said that before the 18th Century lovesickness had been accepted as a natural state of mind for thousands of years.He said in modern day terms the symptoms can include mania, such as an elevated mood and inflated self-esteem, or depression, revealing itself as tearfulness and insomnia.Aspects of obsessive compulsive disorder can also be found in those experiencing lovesickness, such as preoccupation and obsessively checking for text messages and e-mails.[Source]
Romance is the pleasurable feeling of excitement and mystery associated with love.
In the context of romantic love relationships, romance usually implies an expression of one's love, or one's deep emotional desires to connect with another person.
Historically, the term "romance" originates with the medieval ideal of chivalry as set out in its Romance literature.
Ahhhh how i now love romance. I never was romantic before, and i didnt even really think about it as my ex's were all too modern day and un-romantic. RIP Chivalry. I love the old fashioned idea of chivalry and courting for the one you love. Too much hard work apparently, but people who say this have obviously not found the right person. To express your love should become an act like breathing. It should be natural and easy to achieve.
Anyways i dont want to rant, i came to spread the love.
I Love You All, but to my special one ...I Love You with all my heart, forever and a day!
Think I might be suffering from a little bit of all of those :S
