Love Is Different

Being in love is different.

Being in love is when there is no doubt, no questions, and no loneliness.

Being attached is not love, being attached is where all you feel is doubt, loneliness and unbearable questions burning in your brain.

The best thing about being in love is how rewarding it is, arguments, tears, and frustration all turn into cuddles, kisses, and uncontrollable happiness.

When you’re attached to someone, you’re not in love, nothing is rewarding. Tears, arguments, and frustration are all things that you feel for yourself. You feel hurt that you let this person do these things to you over and over again. You feel frustrated with yourself for allowing yourself to get wrapped back up into their lies. And arguments all come from you looking for the answers you wish you could have. But in the end, you will always blame yourself. No matter what they do, no matter how ridiculous the excuse is it’s your fault, they can do no wrong, because they love you... right?

You’re a horrible person for doubting them for making them feel that they need to explain themselves. You feel like you should be more trusting even though the reasons you aren’t are right there in front of you! Right there in black and white.

When you’re in love there’s obviously equality, it’s obvious to you and everyone around you that both parties are just as in love like each other, both of you wouldn’t want to be anywhere else or with anyone else.

Everything they do is lovely, even when they are annoying or irritating you wouldn’t change it.

When you’re attached there’s is no annoyance or irritation because they don’t care, they don’t care enough to give you that kind of attention, the only attention you will receive is sexual or hurtful.

When in love you’ll tell your friends all the amazing things about your partner and a lot of the time they will ask, they will ask about them because they know how you feel and they love seeing you happy.

When attached to a partner eventually your friends will stop asking because they want you to talk about something other than your partner, you’ll think they are being rude and don’t care about your relationship but really they care too much about you to watch you relive all of the horrible things you feel when you think about the lies and excuses you hear daily.

At the end of the day, no one really understands until they live the life of being attached, no one understands what you’re going through unless they have done it themselves. But the worst part is no one really realises they are attached until they eventually let go.

You’ll know you’re in love when you are still uncontrollably laughing at each other, when you can laugh during sex, when you can have just as much fun just being in each other’s company, when you can be freely naked without feeling self-conscious, when going out together or separately isn’t an issue and When you look at them and see only the future and you still get butterflies, that’s when you know the love is real.
