Do you know what the problem is with most people seeking love and getting disappointed again and again? They are trying to find someone who loves them in the same manner that they do. Can the depth of love be measured? How? It's a subjective question. 'I will jump from the highest peak for you', 'I can walk on fire for you', 'I will bring the moon from up above the sky for you'. Oh please, come on. Like really, we are done and dusted with the old movie dialogues. Most people won't use these lines because : number 1) it's outright embarrassing or clichéd ,if I may, number 2) life is not a movie, here we have real problems to deal with and last but not the least number 3) there is Love hidden in small gestures and day to day activities and we don't need to prove time and again that yeah 'you are my sun, moon and stars!'.
But dear dear, if you find someone who loves the same way as you, shows same kind of ways to make you feel loved, wouldn't it be boring? Even identical twins don't behave the same and you want the other person to behave in the same manner? But why? Where is the adventure in that? If you notice then there is love in the little things. Your dad may bring you a packet of chips or your favourite savoury , and there is love in that. Your mom may have a fight with you and mind you that was not a small fight but she will still wait for your call or message that you reached home safely. Your siblings will steal your clothes just to irritate you but out of love because they love to irritate you. Your better half will bring you a glass of water or a cup of tea just how you like it and there is love in that. Your friends will take care of you when you are far away from home.
You eating something delicious and thinking about your siblings or spouse wishing they could have it too is love. Your spouse looking at the rain and missing you is love. Your wife getting angry at you for not charging your phone when away, is love . Your husband adjusting with your dysfunctional family despite feeling like an outsider for the sake of you is love. Need I say more ?
Jigsaw puzzles are never of equal shapes and sizes but once they fit , they complete the picture. We all are like a piece of that. We are different but we fit. When you find your missing piece you will know. No love is same and no person loves the same way. But it's love none the less. When we stop expecting it becomes a surprise or a shock. Let love be a surprise.
