How to Know If You're in Love
The word love gets thrown around so loosely. We all have feelings we're capable of having for others. The ability of being able to have emotions, doesn't mean we're in love. Love is one of the most special experiences for anyone to experience. It's something everyone wants, no matter who you are. We wouldn't be human if we didn't have the capability of loving.

See if they bring out the best in you. Love changes a lot. When you're in love, you don't change who you are. You grow from who you were. This person brings out qualities in you, that you've never really notice or have seen before.

It makes you an unselfish person. This is where so many can separate the line between love, and just being infatuated with a person. When you're in love, you aren't selfish with this person. You care about their needs, emotions and feelings. What they feel truly means more to you, than your feelings.

It gives you knots in your stomach when thinking about them. Even after being with them for awhile, if they still make you blush, weak at the knees, you're in love. If the passion doesn't burn out and it keeps burning you up. Now it's impossible to literally feel that flame every single, waking moment. But overall, if you feel you're getting more in to them, even as time continues to go by, that's love. No matter what is going on, love in the end continues to overwhelm you.

Wanting to see them succeed as if it were your own success. It's when you get the sense of joy and pride seeing them do so well. You get to the point where you're constantly bragging about their successes as if they were your own.

Being able to forgive. If you're able to see the best parts in them, and trust in what you have with this person. Loving is forgiving and understanding. Knowing and understanding them is apart of love. Being able to get over your ego and pride.

Seeing their faults and still loving them for them. Understanding that not everyone is perfect and makes mistakes. At the same time, you honestly accept every part about them. Nothing in your mind would change who they are, or what they look like. Loving is accepting, and you must be accepting of their shortcomings. Not just accepting, but love them too.

Being open with them and honest. Telling them things about you, good and bad. Trusting them enough to show you who you really are. Your most deepest thoughts, and fears are shared with them. All your struggles and successes are not kept away from them. They become the one person you can always count on, good or bad. They're your security blanket.
