Are you in love?
Here's an interesting question for those of you in love...
If the person you're in love with stopped doing nice things for you, would you still love him or her?
If he didn't bring you flowers for Valentine's Day, would you love him still?
If she didn't cook your supper or wash your laundry, would you still think she was just as awesome as the day you met her?
If he didn't tell you how pretty you are, would you still think he was sweet?
If she stopped looking at you like you hung the moon, would you still be as fascinated with her?
The problem with our society is that we fall in love with the things people do for us and the way they make us feel rather than who they really are.
We are so desperate to feel loved that we settle for a warm, fuzzy feeling. We feel it and jump in. Then it gets old, the fuzzies go away, and we decide it's time to move on. You all know what I'm talking about. Just watch your Facebook friends' relationship statuses! Changing relationships is like changing socks these days.
Look at the man or woman beside you. Take away all the actions. Take away the outward appearance. Take away all the sweet things he or she says or does. All that's left is the very core of that person. Do you still love him? Do you even like her? Or are you just putting up with that person because you like his or her actions and the way you feel because of them?
I have to admit... I've been guilty of this. I like the way it feels to be showered with attention. Who doesn't?? It's tough to be alone. But if you're single... chill out! Allow yourself time to figure out who you really are and what you want out of life. It will be worth it in the end!
