Love Defined
"If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story."
- Orson Welles
There are so many four letter words in the English language but the greatest of those is Love. Love is unconditional, endless and the most precious of gifts. Some tend to use this word aimlessly without emotion or forethought while others embrace the wonders behind the one syllable word with the big meaning.
To love is to gain strength, belief not only in someone else but one's self as well. Being true to yourself is the beginning of defining who you are. Knowing yourself offers the opportunities for growth and development. Love at times could be blind, awkward, scary and exciting yet the true feeling underneath the surface is indescribable.
Don't dodge it but embrace it. Allow yourself to experience the feeling even if you have difficulty understanding it. Sometimes the unknown is just that - Unknown, but it doesn't need to be a bad thing. Eliminate the question of "why" and exchange it with the words, "why not."

Love is both wonderful and painful. What do you suggest for those who see it undeveloped, wanting love but unable to attain it with the person they want?

You are correct, love can be both wonderful and painful. The first thing I would suggest is to identify what love is within yourself? What does it look like through your eyes? Define it in detail. How should it make you feel? Is it unconditional? These are all questions only you can answer.
Love is defined differently by different people but what's important is how you see and define it. It's important to define it internally as well. Ask yourself, how do you feel about yourself and do you take time for YOU. When striving for love there are no easy answers.
Many times we search for love but as we dissect the hidden meaning of what we are truly missing, it may be something within ourselves that we desire but have yet to attain - a missing link. That same missing link could be attainable through a "friendship" vs a "relationship."
We can't always be with the ones we want, for whatever reason, but by communicating your thoughts and feelings to the other person it may lend itself to a different type of friendship and/or relationship that mutually, you can both agree upon.
