Love? Commitment?

June 30, 2021

There are so many people who are being mislead with loving someone and being committed to someone. Or loving something and be committed to it. Those two words are very different from each other. Those two words speaks different worlds, different language. Let's start with defining them first before we hash out our topic.

Love:

noun: an intense feeling of deep affection.

verb: feel deep affection for (someone).

Commitment:

noun: an engagement or obligation that restricts freedom of action.

Just from reading the definition you can already say that yes those two words are different in every sense.

If we are going to use those two word in a sentence what sentence would you form?

Here's what's playing in my mind love is a feeling and commitment is a decision.

Love is a wonderful feeling, it is a feeling that will make you feel you are in cloud 9 and it will always make you smile and it will make your world full of flowers and colors especially if you are in a relationship and that feeling would be much better if you two are committed with each other. But up to what extent are you two willing to commit with each other? Just like how committed are you in this platform in writing your articles?

Remember commitment is a choice, its a decision that you have to make in order for you to make the relationship last longer. It is an engagement that no one can break except the two of you. It also involves strategy and planning on how you will make it last longer, or how you will keep the fire burning. It is not just something that you want to do even if your heart is not in it.

Honestly when I start writing here in read.cash my heart is not in it, why? Because all along I thought that I cannot write a whole paragraph, what's more if its an article. But if you are going to ask me to write a memo for the last meeting that I had attended I can give it to you in less than 15 mins. But as the days passed by, I learned to love this platform, I learned to love writing and for me that is what's important, the loving part.

In order for me to commit I need to love it first. Just like in any relationship. You have to go through the getting to know each other stage and know the person wholeheartedly before you enter a relationship, before you commit in that relationship. Courting stage is important and courting stage doesn't end when you both decided to start a relationship. Courting stage should be part of your relationship even if you are deeply in love with each other, it just never end.

Just like in writing, you have to know what you love writing the most and start from there, and as you go on every day you learn a little bit of everything from reading the article of other users. Furthermore, getting to know stage is also part of writing. As you learn to write you also learn to love reading and because of that you also start to commit with it. By the time you start enjoying it, it will also be the time that you will decide to stay, you also decide to do better every time you write. And that feeling of love for writing will make you decide to keep on writing, to keep on exploring, to keep on doing much better every time that you published an article. You are already choosing to see the good in what you write and in what you read. That is the courting stage in writing that will go a long way, as long as your are committed to write, you will always be hungry for ideas, you will always be hungry for creative thoughts.

You see loving and commitment is really a feeling and a decision, You need to have that feeling of belongingness, of feeling that someone is looking after you, of feeling that someone is proud of you, of feeling special to someone to be able to commit. And that commitment comes after you decide on what you really like, on what you want to keep on doing, on who you want to keep, and on who do you trust.

Final thought

You see, love and commitment in a relationship and in writing is almost the same. Its the feeling and the decision that will keep you going, that will keep the fire burning and yes, I can finally rest my case that love is a feeling and commitment is a decision. Hope you all agree with me on this.
