What Is True Love
To fully grasp the meaning of true love, you must, first of all, understand love. Commonly defined as an intense feeling of affection for another person based on your ideals, beliefs, and judgment, love is a mental, physical and biological process. You view a person as attractive, desirable and close to perfection. They’re simply awesome in every way you can think of, once your mind has established how great that person is; your body reinforces the feeling with physical reactions.
Your brain releases a cocktail of chemicals such as serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, vasopressin, and norepinephrine. All these hormones create an atmosphere of bonding with the other person and an amazing feeling of constant happiness which is generally associated with being in love.
True love, on the other hand, goes beyond physical attraction and admiration, it’s an immeasurable and unwavering emotional, mental and physical connection with another person. With true love you see the person’s flaws yet love them even more, you meet each other's expectations, trust and accept one another unconditionally. Essentially, true love means a bond and connection on every level with someone that runs so deep that living without them will be unthinkable
