Love is a really weird thing to feel and trying to explain it can be hard. It’s the type of thing you have to experience to understand and even then, it can be hard to comprehend. It’s a very consuming feeling and it isn’t all fun and games. Love is real and even hurts sometimes. I didn’t realize all of these things until I felt it myself, but I am here to tell you that love exists and it’s an amazing feeling. That being said, don’t sit around waiting for it, enjoy every moment, but when the right person comes along don’t panic and run. Allow yourself to be loved. This can be hard at first, but in the end, it’ll be worth it. I had a very hard time opening up in my current relationship, but when I finally allowed myself to, I realized it was the most amazing decision I could have made.
Trust me, You’ll Know
It’s so cheesy when people say, “when you know, you know,” but it’s true. Love comes along and takes over. When the person is right for you, you’ll feel it when you’re with them. It’s a sense of comfort and home that can only be felt with that specific person. The reason they always say, “when you know, you know,” is because it can’t be explained unless you’ve felt it and once you do feel it, you’re sure and confident. You would do absolutely anything for them. It sounds unreal to someone who has not experienced it.
You’d Do Anything to Make Them Happy
And I mean anything. When you listen to love songs and artists reference wanting to blow all of their money on their significant other, it’s a real thing. When they have a bad day, all you want to do is make it better. I have considered spending $400 on flights to make my girlfriend feel better, before realizing a phone call can have a similar effect. When you’re taken over by your feelings for someone, their happiness becomes more important than your own.
Talking to Them is the Best Part of Your Day
I’ve found that no matter what is happening, my girlfriend is the first person I want to call. I also find myself on the phone throughout the day, or constantly texting. Your special someone will be your go-to. If they’re the right one for you, you’ll feel comfortable and accepted when you talk to them. Communication is important, and when you’re right for each other communication should come naturally, you become comfortable with one another and express your concerns openly.
You’re Happy
This one might sound obvious, but I don’t just mean happy like, you had a good day. I mean genuinely content. I’ve found that being in a healthy relationship makes me feel more confident and satisfied. Even when you’re in a bad mood, you find just the thought of them can cheer you up. It was like they are the missing piece you didn’t even know you were missing. They become your better half. When you look towards the future, you see them by your side for the rest of your life. You’re both the same in all the right ways, and you can be yourself, but you balance each other as well. Personally, I feel like the best version of myself when I am with my girlfriend, and I can’t imagine being with anyone else. I have never smiled so much or laughed so hard.
All-in-all, finding the right person will change your life for the better. You will learn how you deserve to be treated and what it’s like to have your person. Each relationship we have, no matter how short or how long, is a lesson and one step closer to finding the right one for you. One person will eventually come along, and it will feel perfect, and you’ll know.
