Is it enough?

Sooo of late I have been on a movie binge.I mean I watched,Conan The Barbarian,Change up,Crazy stupid Love,Barely Legal and alot of movies.Somewhere along the story line they always seem to be able to fit a plot of Love.Either parental,sibling,lovers or of any sort.
On a random day got into a talk with a friend.She being a strong believer in Love is enough.Since we have know eachother since childhood she kept giving examples of people we know who conquered all cause of the love they had and beat all odds so to speak.Granted there was merit in what she said.And we left it at that cause lets face it I wasnt going to win that argument.
Staying in my room in the late hours of the night I started to think it over and over and this is my perspective or rather my experience in way.
I got to be honest (with myself mostly) I am in a way a romantic and do believe in those grand gestures of love (by grand I dont mean big).But with experience and time that outlook has been deminished into nothing more than a fantasy.When is it enough.Just the love you have or feel towards someone?Life always seems to get in the way.It could be that ex who messed up now everybody will be judged according to the faults of the previous.Could be parents or friends who just dont think the person is good enough or that they are not of an equal class and stature.In some instances you could put everything you have into it and yet hardly make a dent.Let me explain.Sometimes someone is able to make you feel so special and wonderful that regardless of anything going on in your own world and life when you with that person non of it matters.They take it all away and at times they do it even whne they do nothing at all.But at times you dont have the same effect on them for whatever reason.So some start asking if they are being fair to the other person or if its right for you to be given and take so much and yet not be able to do the same.
Im not saying this is always the case I mean we all know that couple or love story that we all thought wouldnt last but it did the weird thing is it seems that such scenarios dont apply to you.
Is it really enough to put everything on the line for the one you love or is there more?Does the timing matter?Is it all determined by your own actions or everything comes into play?
I mean is it enough to move countries to be with someone you love or is the love you have enough to last through that distance?
So many questions came up with an infinate number of possible answers.At times and with certain people be it luck or some hand of fate it works out regardless of what comes their way.And we all in one way or another wish it was us.And at times it doesnt work regardless of what you do try.
The worst part is the what if question.What if I did or didnt do this and that and so on.Asking yourself and replaying things trying to fix them in your mind.That could drive you insane.
To cut things short I cant say for a fact if love is enough or not cause I think you can only truely say that if it indeed it is/was enough for you.If it conquered all and prevailed in your case.The most I think is to give it all you got,hope and pray for the best.And if it doesnt work out. . . . .

  1. "Is it really enough to put everything on the line for the one you love or is there more?" It is never enough and once you choose that path it is downhill from there.

  3. I think love is enough. All you can is try and wish and pray for the best. I am a romantic too, so I feel like if you want it to happen, it will happen. It takes two, so you both have to try your hardest.
    This was beautiful Triq. i loved it
