Love Essay: The True Meaning Of True Love

We always see characters from fairy tales always saying they are trying to find their true love, but the question is, what is true love? Some might say it’s the perfect half that they’ve been looking for, for all their life. Other’s might say it’s the one that you could hold hands with until you die.

Love between two people should be the care and affections they have for each other. It is not something you signed up for and expect the best out of it. I found it funny when people make their vows at their wedding, saying all the “I do” to every commitments that they’ll eventually break and get a divorce two years later. If a couple really love each other, they don’t have to make any vows, because they should know that loving, caring, and looking out for their other half is what they should be doing, not because the host of their wedding said
