When someone “thinks” they’re in love in a matter of a couple weeks. “Oh, he’s different.”, “Oh, she’s soo beautiful.”, “Oh, I’ve never felt this way before.”, “I can’t live without her in my life.”, “I would die without her.” blahblahblah… Honestly? Do you even know them? I mean.. do you REALLY know them? Yeah, they may be cute, beautiful, unique, amazing, and alll that jazz. But can you honestly say you love “them”? Or even like them to the point where they are your world?
In reality, you probably don’t. To me, knowing a person is not about what their favorite color is or knowing how to make them laugh or smile. Knowing them… truly, truly, knowing them is about getting to know their past, present, and future. What made them cry, who made them cry. What made them happy, who made them happy. Knowing their dreams and aspirations. Knowing how they act without the pressures of the outside world. Knowing them at their worst and at their best. Knowing what they have gone through and what they’re still fighting today. What they hate and what they love. What fears they hold inside. Knowing the little secrets that they have hidden, the innermost thoughts they want to share with you. Knowing what made them who they are.
The words “I love you”, mean something. I don’t care what anyone says, they do mean more than just three words. Saying “you” means you love all of that person. The good, the bad, and everything they stand for. Don’t throw those words around like they’re nothing.
How can you love someone, if you don’t even know them?
That, my friends, is not love. That.. is infatuation.
OMG THIS THIS THIS SO MUCH.
