Love, a word people have been trying to define for centuries, and let me tell you no one will ever be able to put the right words for it. But you will be able to experience it, at some points in your lifetime, and if possible cherish it for a long time.
Love is an emotion. And emotions are nothing but a series of chemical reactions orchestrated by your limbic lobe.
But why does it feel like there’s something more to it?
In a world where this intense emotion is a mystery, I want to talk about genderless love.
Growing up, societal norms told me that a man should always like a woman, and vice versa. Somewhere along the way it didn’t feel quite right.
I’d been attracted to the opposite sex a couple of times, but I always felt that my normal did not have to be everyone’s normal. And that’s when I started exploring and I found out that the society’s norms and rules did not always have to be right.
But we do continue to live in a prejudiced society.
And let me tell you, just because the people around you are prejudiced doesn’t mean that you have to be too. It’s always your choice. A lot of people don’t believe that love can sprout between any two people of any sex, race, and all the *beep* categories humans devised.
But I don’t believe so,
I’ve always liked love stories. I spent my time reading and watching all kinds of gender pairings. And also watched real-life love stories.
And in the process of doing that, I had moments, moments which made me realize that my beliefs were not wrong. So I continued to believe …
I don’t believe in labeling people as gay, straight, lesbian, bisexual, etc. I don’t feel there is any need to. Not everything needs a tag. ( This is no offense to labels, I just wish there is a day where there are no separate categories, just a time where love is love, no additional tags needed.)
Let me tell you just one thing, be brave, and embrace whatever you are. What you feel is purely personal and you are the only person who gets to decide how to act on it. It’s okay to be who you really are, you are only human.
At the end of the day, love is an emotion shared by two humans. Two humans who want to be there for each other.
And let them be so.
