Love, a strong positive emotion of regard and affection. During my teenage years, I'm sure like with many others, would go through stages of lovelorn, or to be more precise, some form of loneliness.

These days, hitting my mid 20s (oh how i hate to admit it) this love have develop into a form of appreciation of it. Love for God, brothers, friends, needy, me. Somewhere along the way I lost the true appreciation for the love of my own relatives and family. Because of the way I was brought up? That I do not have an answer for.

Is this maturity? Maybe. True form of maturity differs from individual to individual. One thing for sure, this was not something I'd expect. I thought maturity was something you just show others, contrary, it does not seem to be the case.

Well, I do think about how it'll be a dream having my other half. But in the world we are living in, where divorce numbers doubled over the last decade, with the hit of the worst financial crisis since the late 80s (early 90s?), could we afford to follow fully by what our emotion wants? To summarise, there's a lot of commitments needed in a relationship, not just love. Even if all that's been mentioned revolves around love.

Personally, lovelorn as a teenager have matured like Cadbury milk chocolate into the savory of bitter-sweet dark chocolate.
