Dear Dish-It: What is Love?

Jan 04, 2011

Dear Dish-it,

Love? Is that a real thing, or not? I looked it up in the dictionary, and there was nothing!

Dear Shay,

Love is probably something you’ll spend years trying to define – unfortunately, it’s not as easy as looking it up in the dictionary!

In fact, you may find yourself feeling like you’re “in love” several times in your own life – and, each time, it may feel slightly different to you. What I’m saying is that, at the end of the day, love means different things to different people at different stages of their lives, and it’s generally a wonderful thing as long as you learn to keep your balance and not fall “head over heels” into it. Remember – love is supposed to feel good. When you find it, try to savor that good feeling rather than worrying about labeling it or trying to define it somehow.
