What do the inspirational quotes we share really we say about love and the way it makes us feel?
The beginnings of love, the falling in love part, gives us starry eyes and butterflies in the stomach. It gives us someone, even better than a friend, to dance and dine with, someone to adventure with.
It makes us do this ...
And this:
And as it grows, love gives us a confidant, that special someone to share our deepest, darkest secrets and our highest hopes and wildest dreams — someone who sticks by after hearing all about them.
Love means always have someone around who understands us, even without having to tell them specifically. Love means having someone who always put you first, even if you yourself don't.
Love assures us that we will never be alone.
It's these reasons why we want to write sonnets and sing love songs — and why love makes us do things that other people might even think are a little crazy. (If you've ever been in love, you'll totally understand).
