Having mixed feelings can lead to bad stuffs like, being disappointed or being angry, frustrated but it cannot lead to a catastrophe because if a person truly loves someone else that much, then the relationship between them is unbreakable. Love is simply a willingness to prioritize another’s well-being or happiness above your own and having an extreme feeling of attachment for one another. Its about having a good communication, completely opening up and sharing your feelings life and activities daily with one another. It is more about being kind, patient, thoughtful, and being able to sacrifice, it is a desire for the soul. Love is never selfish, never boastful, not quick to take offences, it keeps no score of wrongs. It delights in the truth; it makes us have a great chemistry you get lost in each other conversations and then the hours pass like minutes.

It is a short word, easy to spell, difficult to define and impossible to live without. It’s not possible for love to work if everything is peace and joy, love must be wounded, disappointed, cursed, hated but still loved.
