Love(v): To change the way you see the world.

They say love changes everything. Truth is, love changes you. It makes you see the world in a new light. Your mother is not just your mother, she is your crush’s future mother-in-law. Your college is not just your college, it is the sacred ground where you met him. The shampoo that you use is not just a thing your mother forces you to use, you want her to like the way your hair smells.

Things change. Established. How you ask? Read on.

Love surely turns your life around and makes you do silly things. But despite all that,

Don’t you want somebody to love? Don’t you need somebody to love? Won’t you love somebody to love? You better find somebody to love.
