Emotions..

Hmmm.. Sometimes I wonder... What is affection.. Is it a feeling/emotion reserved for relatives? family? friends? loved ones? Is it similar to love?
When do you say you are attached to someone? When you worry about them? About their safety? When you wait for their message/call saying that they have reached home safely?
Or is it when you end up loving their family members? Asking about their well being? Whether they are fine?
Or is it a combination of all these emotions, feeling, and reasons for concern?

Sometimes I also wonder what does it mean to love someone... Does it mean thinking about them (in a not so obsessive way)?

What does it mean to think about your friends, who aren't with you? Friends who are half way across the world? Friends who live where you used to live? Friends you grew up with?

How about folks? You live away from your parents.. Think about them every now and then... Siblings.. Cousins, who are like the best friends you could ever have.. :) Cousins with whom you can talk about anything under the sun :) Cousins who you know will not judge you no matter what.. Cousins who are like the best friends you could have ever asked for..

How about the person you love? The person you hope to end up spending the rest of your life with? The person for whom you are ready to do almost anything, in order to keep them happy and to see them smile? The person who's happiness takes precedence over your's :) The person whom when you're with, you don't realise how time flies! The person with whom you have tonnes of fun, get along with their friends, and who's friends actually like you!! :)

Emotions come in varying degrees. I've chosen to think only about the nice ones :)
(might go to the darker side when my mood isn't this rosy :P)
