Romantic love has always had such a special place in my heart.
Its fascinating, consuming, surprising, painful and sweet all at once.
Its one of the best gifts of human nature.
Luis Fernandes
First and foremost, romantic love makes us feel so intensely and it feels good to feel.
Its as plain as that, especially when those feelings are feelings of happiness and excitement at their peak.
You feel alive and you realize that someone managed to touch you to the chore.
They make you realize the depth of your heart and your immense capacity to love another being.
When we fall in love, we open our hearts to the world.
We give ourselves a chance to embrace the ordinary and the extraordinary.
We finally walk in the doors that we constantly locked up.
You might find yourself taking more risks, trying out new things and being more honest.
When you fall in love, you finally face yourself and you cant run away.
You learn who you are, what you like and dont like, your needs and your weaknesses.
Its all thrown at you.
It heals you, changes you and hopefully makes you more emotionally mature.
Romantic love has the capacity to inspire us beyond measure.
It inspires art all over the world.
Its this universal feeling that inspires songs, movies and poetry.
Its a feeling that surprises you and brings out the creative in you.
It makes you see the world differently-in a more romantic way.
You might fall in love with sunsets or enjoy the taste of food like never before.
You might transcend every time you listen to a beautiful piece of music.
When you fall in love, you fall in love with the whole world.
They say, we fall in love with those who make us fall in love with ourselves.
Think about that for a second, when we fall in love we fall in love 3 times.
We fall in love with the person, with the world, and finally with ourselves.
Love is supposed to help you heal, understand yourself and rise.
It is supposed to add meaning and compassion.
But, theres one thing you should probably know.
Love is not just sustained through the feeling.
It is sustained by making that beautiful connection with that special person in your life a priority.
Love fortifies over time, it fortifies the more you build it up together.
You build it up through being consistent with the little things.
