If you’ve never been in love before, you’re really missing out. Here are the best things about being in love you probably didn’t expect.
There’s definitely a reason so many people write books and make
movies about being in love. There’s a reason that a whole day is
dedicated to love. And those reasons are because love is just amazing.
It’s incredible, and truthfully, the closest thing we really have to
magic.
Love is something special, and it’s a feeling unlike anything else in
the world. That being said, many will claim love sucks and it hurts
because, well, it does hurt when it ends. But when you’re actually in
love, it’s one of the best feelings there is.
How do you know when you’re in love?
Many people will claim they’re in love with someone after about a
week of knowing them. They say they can’t be without them, and whenever
they’re together, their heart beats a little faster… and they can’t seem
to think about anything else.
While this may sound like love, it’s not really. Love takes time to
develop. It has to blossom into something. It can’t just manifest after a
week.
That being said, you’ll know that you’re in love when your life is
brighter when you’re around someone. When they’re on your mind at every
point in the day. When you just can’t even think of them without
smiling.
The absolute best things about being in love
You may think the best thing about being in love is the
butterfly-like sensations you get whenever they enter the room, but it’s
not. There are so many great things about finding that special someone
and falling madly in love with them.
However, what you think are the best parts about being in love may
not even make this list. If you want to know just how amazing being love
is, and the best parts about it, here they are.
#1 A solid support system. When you’re in love,
you’re always supported. Your dreams and desires are fully backed up by
your other half, and you never really have to worry about being judged
for them. No matter what you want to do in life, you always have someone
there ready to help you achieve the goals you set out for.
#2 Being accepted fully. There really is no better
feeling than being completely accepted for who you are. You can be
vulnerable, broken, and even really weird… and you’ll always have
someone who loves you no matter what.
Being accepted for every single flaw you have is something love provides that you just don’t find elsewhere.
#3 The confidence. Due to being accepted no matter
what, you have killer confidence when you’re in love. When your
significant other voices their love for you, or even just knowing how in
love you are, you pretty much feel as though you can fly. Your
self-esteem is boosted significantly, and you even learn to love
yourself more when you’re in love.
#4 Finding purpose. Some people have a hard time in
life because they just don’t feel as though they have any purpose.
Finding purpose in your life is definitely one of the bonuses of being
in love. You feel as though you have something worth living and working
for. You have this other person in your life who gives you the purpose
you need.
#5 Not having to explain yourself because you’re understood. Do
you ever think back to situations where you just had to keep explaining
yourself over and over again because nobody seemed to understand how
you were feeling?
Well, when you’re in love, that’s not really a problem. Your
significant other understands you and knows how you’re feeling without
you needing to say so.
#6 You’re never lonely. This is really the best
thing about being in love. You never really feel lonely – even if you
are literally at home alone. There’s always this part of you that feels
included and with another person, even if you’re watching movies at home
by yourself. Being in love gives you this sense of unity and comfort
and rids your life of loneliness.
#7 There’s always someone to share your life with. Whenever you have news of any kind, good or bad, you always have someone to share it with.
Even if it’s the smallest thing that happened during the day to make
you sad or happy, you have someone willing and ready to listen to
everything. You really have someone to share your life with, and it’s
the best feeling there is.
#8 A sense of security. No, I don’t mean this in a
financial sense. I mean you have a sense of security when it comes to
yourself and your relationship. Before you and your partner fall in
love, there’s a little bit of uneasiness and the unknown.
However, being in love gets rid of those insecurities, and you’re
left feeling secure in your relationship and in yourself.
#9 You think of other people more. Many people don’t
realize this about themselves when they’re in love, but it’s true. When
you love someone deeply, you not only think about them more, but you
think about other people in general more often. You are empathetic
toward them, and you see things from their perspective more.
#10 The sex. This is obviously something that has to
be thrown in on the list of the absolute best things about being in
love, because sex when you’re in love is like nothing else out there.
The emotional bond between you and your significant other intensifies
everything. When you’re able to let go and be yourself, you find that
sex is much more enjoyable… and it’s especially magical when it’s with
someone you care for so deeply.
#11 The possibilities for the future. When you’re
single and not in love with anyone, the possibilities for your future
aren’t very clear. You have so many options that the picture just
doesn’t pop in your mind.
When you’re in love, your future has so many possibilities and all
those things seem realistic. You can picture your life with someone and
having a family with them, and it’s the best feeling.
#12 That “home” feeling when you return to them. After
being away from the person you love all day, returning to them – no
matter where you are – makes it feel like you’re at home. You no longer
feel like home is a place, but rather, being with that person is now
your new home.
#13 The physical contact. Humans were created to be
with other humans. We need that physical contact in order to feel calm
and complete. Being in love gives you that physical contact you so
desire, and you can get it whenever you want. Being able to snuggle up
to the one you love after a long day is a feeling you can’t get anywhere
else.
#14 Someone takes care of you when you’re sick. And
they don’t care about the risks. Sometimes your significant other may
try to steer clear of a sick lover because they don’t actually want to
get sick.
However, when you’re in love, you don’t even care about that. You
just want your love to feel better and stop being uncomfortable. Having
someone who feels the same about you is the best.
#15 Always having someone there to back you up and keep you sane. Stress,
family, crazy jobs, and even your own obsessiveness can drive you
insane. Luckily, being in love gives you someone who will help keep you
sane. They’ll assist with your stressful life, and they’ll always be
there to back you up no matter what.
Yes, being in love is amazing for so many great reasons.
These are just the absolute best things about being in love, and if you
haven’t experienced it yet, you’re missing out.
