Love is

Amanda- (adj) Latin: "Loveable, Worthy of Love"

But what is love?

Love is a lipstick stain on your white walls that even the most potent bleach cannot remove

It is powerful and intense, making you second guess and reconsider your past and future

It is strong, but also blind; if you're not careful, it can blind you

Love is mindless and raw, the purest of human emotions, the core of our existences, the irresistible force behind mankind's achievements and losses, our greatest successes and failures

Love is the reason we stay alive, because it's impossible not to enjoy the high it gives us

Love denies logic and science and creates its own rules within the anarchy of its being

Love is fire: warm, destructive, yet beautiful.

"Love isn't something we invented. It's observable, powerful, it has to mean something... Love is the one thing we're capable of percieving that transcends dimensions of space and time."

Dr Amelia Brand, Interstellar (2014)
