Search Term - in love

Being in love is a powerful, thrilling experience. Your state of mind when you're in love makes you feel like you can accomplish anything, and that your love will overcome all obstacles. This feeling is what has fueled the poets to write and the artists to chisel on stone. Without the inspiration and fire that comes with being in love, our world would not be as colorful as it is today.

When you're in love, every silly love song that plays on the radio sounds eerily familiar. Every romantic plot in the movies you see or the books you read suddenly feels like the story of your life. It's true, in a way, because the act of being in love is like a cinematic fairytale. Your lover's bad habits are seen as quirks and idiosyncrasies, and your friends' words of warning are dismissed as the envious words of the cynical.


However, reality soon sets in. What was once romantic becomes painful, and your partner's "quirks" soon irritate you. You become disappointed that your expectations weren't met, and you anticipate that your relationship will soon end. After the breakup, you vow to never fall in love again.

If you want your romantic feelings to truly last, the best thing to do is to get rid of all your romantic illusions and expectations. Yes, it's possible to feel passionate romance when you're in love and to have a clear head at the same time. Just keep in mind that love is serious business, and that you shouldn't get too carried away and wrapped up in the fairytale aspect of it. Love has many facets, and it would do you well to experience them all, from the exciting to the bland, from the sweet to the bitter. Sure, I'm dishing out all this advice, but will you listen? Probably not. You're in love, right?
