Happy doesn't sound too happy.
Anyway,there are different kinds of love. One thing they all have
in common is that if you love someone you put that person's
welfare above your own. Maybe you even give your life for them.
Maybe one word for love can be selflessness.

I seperate it into 3 catagories
1st- when you have a love for some1.This could be a friend or any1. You care about them and you have their back whenever they may need you
2nd- when you're 'in love' this could be temporary.
3rd- love period. It incorporates previous 2 and is lasting. Years along the way you would still feel something for the person

According to Robert Sternberg's research, "Love" is an emotion consisting of three components: intimacy, passion & committment.
Intimacy, the feeling close and connected to someone (developed through sharing and very good communications over time). Intimacy is what makes you want to share and offer emotional and material support to each other.
-Intimacy alone is Liking (true friendship without passion or long-term commitment)
Passion, the feeling physically aroused and attracted to someone. Passion is what makes you feel "in love" and is the feeling most associated with love. It also rises quickly and strongly influences and biases your judgment.
-Passion alone is Infatuation (passionate, obsessive love at first sight without intimacy or commitment)
Commitment, pledging to your self and each other to strengthen the feelings of love and to actively maintain the relationship. Commitment is what makes you want to be serious, have a serious relationship and promise to be there for the other person if things get tough.
-Commitment alone is Empty Love (decision to love another without intimacy or passion)
Romantic Love: Intimacy & Passion, no Commitment
-Lovers physically and emotionally attracted to each other but without commitment
-“As in a summer romance”
Companionate Love: Intimacy & Commitment, but no Passion
-Long-term committed friendships or a marriage in which the passion has faded
-I love you but I’m not IN love with you
Fatuous Love: Passion & Commitment, but no Intimacy
-Commitment based on passion with without time for intimacy to develop
-Shallow relationship such as a whirlwind courtship
Consummate Love: A complete love consisting of all three components

Why this question is here?Anyway, sometimes love is the most beautiful feeling in the world, but most of the times it sucks.
