What is love? (InB4 "Baby don't hurt me")
Love is a chemical reaction. Love is a drug. Love is a dangerous substance that should only be taken in small doses and only when absolutely necessary. I think Cersei Lannister was correct when she told Sansa Stark to only love her children. Love makes you weak, love gives you loyalties to others besides yourself, love makes you settle for less than you want and deserve, love is toxic.
Those first few days of falling in love give us a false notion that love is a good thing. How could anything so bad for you feel so good? Well ask any heroin addict and the picture may become clearer. The sad truth is we don't only fall in love with those who have our best interests in heart, those who who love us with the same intensity that we love them. A lot of the time we fall for someone who is incapable of that, and this will cause you nothing but pain. Loving a person who only loves themselves will kill you slowly, as you let who you are and what you need be replaced by their own selfish desires and needs. One by one, you will give up every hope you have so that they can live their lives how they see fit, because they will not make those changes for you. Don't become a victim of love.
