Some people think of love as this cycle of romance and stability. It’s pretty amazing what can happen as a result of the way a person thinks, creating a mental match, an illusion of a relationship. Here’s a post written by Kloudiia and her advice, which I think makes perfect sense.

The real question is… do we all not think of love as nothing more than pure fantasy? Truth be told, love isn’t a bed of roses. The reason why there is so much to talk and write about in soap operas and drama serials is the fact that many people simply do not separate the difference between love and relationship. The word “lover” contains the word “over”, and the world “relationship” contains the word “elation”. Interesting definition, isn’t it?

I prefer to think that love is overrated in the commercial sense of the word. Too many people aren’t able to distinguish the romantic ideals of love versus the realities of a true relationship. Things will never be plain sailing in true relationship, but at least it is grounded in reality. Of course, with proper communication and innovation, there’s plenty of room for fantasy to be a part of a couple’s routine… because that’s romance. You create the environment for a fantasy to come true. Like that tour or that romantic dinner at a very special place.

I suppose I’d want to hear your views about love as well. Do you think love is merely illusion or fantasy? Or is there more to it than meets the eye?
