"You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams"

Day two of my seven day blog challenge: Answer a question someone on your blog asks. I am pretty sure these challenges were meant for people who actually have followers. I have a whole two followers, one of whom no longer blogs. To my one other follower, how the heck do you get people to read your blog? Anyways, I almost gave up on this challenge on the second day, because I simply did not have questions to answer. Luckily my psychology professor saved the day. We are currently in the adulthood section of the book, talking about careers, marriage and raising children and my professor asked us what "I love you" means to us. So here goes, I'm about the answer the age old question, "what is love?" (baby don't hurt me)


Love is waking up in the morning and making the choice to make your significant others day better. It is consciously making the decision to keep giving love and accepting love in return. Love is opening your heart; letting out the fear and doubts and letting warmth and passion in.

Love is being silly and ridiculous. Love is having tickle fights in the middle of the day, just because. Love is making stupid jokes that have the two of you rolling on the ground laughing and other people looking at you like you're crazy. Love is not being afraid to be yourself, not being too shy to make silly faces at each other or being to self-conscious to play and have fun.

Love is passion. Love is not being able to keep your hands off of each other. Love is kissing and having every other thought melt away. Love is that warm, fuzzy feeling in your stomach that you almost feel addicted to. Love is not being able to get enough of the other person.

Love is gentle. Love is compassionate and caring. Love is whispers and love letters; giggles and secrets. Love is holding each other and feeling like you are in the safest place in the world.

Love is a little bit of pain. Love is never physical pain, but that little ache in your heart when you have a fight, that worry that you have, the occasional doubts. Love is facing the pain and overcoming in. Love is when the good out ways the bad, but understanding that there will be bad days.

Love is seeing someone as they really are, flaws and all, and still accepting them. Love is by no means perfect. No two people are completely compatible, but everyone is able to compromise. Love is knowing that your other is a good person, despite their annoying habits. Love is raising a person up, instead of putting them down. Love is focusing on the positive and not the negative.

Love is smiling for no apparent reason. Love is that full feeling you get in your heart. Love is still get butterflies after years spent together.

Love is waking up every morning and knowing that it will be a good day, if you are with that special person. It is looking forward to the future and praying for your dreams to come true. Love is patient and understanding. Love is an endless road. Love is never becoming tired of the journey.
