Only More Love

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.

Symptoms of Being in Love

PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL SYMPTOMS OF BEING IN LOVE 

By: Heidi Marie Fleetfoot 

The symptoms of being in love can sometimes seem more obvious to others than to the person involved. However, if you are falling in love you will experience certain emotional and physical symptoms that indicate that you are on the slippery slope of finding love. 

As you fall in love your heartbeat will increase as the object of your affection passes by. The palms of your hands may sweat as your excitement increases and conversations with this person may become odd as you are tongue tided by strong emotion. Either that, or you may be at a loss about what to say as you gaze into their eyes longingly. 

Falling in love can literally make you go weak at the knees. At the same time, your mind will be full of constant thoughts about the person that you are falling for. You may play out fantasies in your imagination about being with them and them loving you in return. 

As love enters your life, you may discover that you have trouble carrying out everyday tasks accurately as you are unable to shift your consciousness away from them onto the task at hand. Thinking about them becomes a joy in itself, increasing the strong feelings you have toward them. 

Daydreaming about the one you love could become one of your favorite hobbies and can take up much of your time and mental energy. You may find yourself dreaming about them during the night, having spent a long time intensely thinking about them before shutting your eyes to sleep. 

As love holds you firmly in its grip, you will find that you have a need to talk incessantly about your love. Your friends and family will begin to feel like they know the person involved as they inadvertently learn as much about them as you know yourself. People may even sigh as you merrily chatter about your love, unaware that they are a little bored and want to change the conversation. 

While falling in love, everything that goes on around you will begin to relate to the person that you are falling for. A simple autumn leaf may suddenly appear incredibly beautiful to you, and you will pop it in your pocket to take to your loved one. The sound of the breeze through the trees may even begin to sound a little like their name.
