I think it is hard for us to love if we did not feel loved ourselves for how can we give something which we don't have? I for one is very lucky to have wonderful parents who love me unconditionally. So I can say I have a cup full of love.

So what is it like to feel in love? The feeling is divine, euphoric, and heavenly. The first time I fell in love romantically I can say I experienced a feeling of existing. I feel complete, I know this sounds familiar but this is truly what I felt. I feel good about myself, I learn to be more careful and take good care of myself because some cares for me and love. When my boyfriend who eventually became my husband are together, we are very happy no matter what we are doing. We can be doing the most mundane things like singing, he likes to play guitar and I like to sing and that is already the most fun thing we had to do. Every song suddenly becomes more meaningful especially love songs. I feel inspired and most of all I became a better or the best person I can be. And I think that is love is all about, although he can make me very sensitive emotionally but he brought out the best in me. He made me feel confident about myself, he taught me how to be confident in the way I dress too. His love for me is an affirmation of my whole being. And I believe that he is God's gift to me.

Then I fell in love again with my daughter. When I gave birth to her and saw her for the first time, cradle her in my arms, smell her baby breath and skin, I feel so much love that I can describe as heavenly. I truly felt God's love upon me for giving me this tiny person to take care and love with.

And I believe that without love my life would have no purpose. There is no sense of doing any work without any purpose or goal. For me, I have found my sense of purpose, to love my husband and to take care of my family.
