Why do we have such a dreamy picture of falling in love in our minds? The whole idea of falling in love has been so glamorized that now looking at being with someone simply without the whole jazz before it seems almost boring and not good enough. I'm also wondering what does falling in love actually mean? It's hard for me to distinguish between enjoying and feeling comfortable with someone, and being in love with someone. If we're in love with someone, should it really matter if we're with them or not. We just love the person for who they are, or for how they make you feel, but it may just be that they're not the ones you can be with. I'm wondering what it really means to be in love with someone? Does it mean that you want to be around that person all the time? Does it mean that you want to physically be with that person? Does it mean that this person is more special to you than others? Does it mean that you feel like you can just be yourself when you're with this person?
Everywhere the whole idea has been so commercialized...whether valentines day, or movies, or posters or commercials........everywhere the idea of being with someone, of being loved and in love with that special someone is thrown in your face.........over and over again. But why should one relationship be so special compared to others......why is it that people seem so much more involved with that one person compared to others? Why aren't people involved the same way.......maybe not physically, but mentally and emotionally with each person they meet? What does it mean to fall in love? Does it mean that when you are with this person you finally feel complete......you finally feel at ease with who you are? Does it mean that you can finally put down that guard we call our ego before that one person? Does being in love with this person make you love yourself more? What does it mean to fall in love?

Unfortunately I don't know. Maybe its different for everyone. I think it's more about how you feel around that person, and the fact that you truly enjoy being with them intimately - mentally and physically. It's intense I guess...the whole "falling in love" thing seems kinda confusing and a bit misleading...
