Through our journey of love, we are getting used to meet different people. Some are good, some are bad. Some are for lifelong, some are for the lesson. Some comes in for a purpose, some are just bound to lose. Through this journey, we used to experience the different kinds of love. The way a friend took care of us when we were sick. The way our parents take care of us since were young, the way our dogs jumps and rolls because of happiness when they smell and see us.
Love, outside science, is a feeling, a feeling that that makes us think the welfare of that people other than us. Love is what pushes us to exceed the limit that we set on ourselves to provide the people we like the happiness.
But in spite of this, somehow, even when we are loved, we arrived at a point that we used to asked ourselves, is this the kind of love that I deserve?
