Take the case of Love for example.
Till recently it was something I could easily fall into. Who has not had a crush or a teenage love? The excitement, the passionate feelings, the little secret moments...you just believe that while you are in love with your special person everything is okay. The universe is doing it's job perfectly. Nothing could ever go wrong.
At 16, love can blossom with a few poetic word, long gazes into the eyes , a few blood drops....It's simply hard not to fall in love.
My sweet 16 was years back but I had hardly grown up from that mental state.But now I know things are not always that easy. There's no real black or white in this thing. May be you say you love someone but you actually don't. Or you say you hate someone and adore that person. Maybe you love two people at a time. Maybe you are with one person and think of the other. Maybe you've broken up ,but you really can't stop thinking about that person.May be it's all just lust. May be there's is no such thing as love?
No clue.One thing i know. If two people can love each other easily and passionately if they are not in the '16', It sure is magical. By then you would have become selfish, loving yourself more than anything els eon the planet. If you can still love another human being so selflessly, so easily,Love sure is a magic.
Now, that's a different kind of "magic' I associate with Love now.The earlier magical love implied things like 'true love' s first kiss' which could turn lead to gold.
I have grown up, haven't I?
