The question we will take a very long deep breath to answer. Yes, as it should. How could one decide that another being has power over our emotions? And yes, power — being in love means giving up control. What our partner does or doesn’t do can have an impact on our emotions, whether we like it or not. This is the bitter truth of love.
I have come across people who claim to know precisely when they will fall in love. Some believe it happens when all the love songs start to make sense, while others say it’s when they can’t wait to see the person again, even though they only met them recently.
But, some also assert falling in love is characterized by feeling butterflies in your stomach and a faster heartbeat than usual.
Or even some argued that one of the most apparent instances is you are able to smile amidst your tight schedule during the day when you think of them.
Do the examples mentioned above represent love? It seems like love involves both emotions and actions, but everyone’s experience may differ.
My experience of falling in love is unique to me and cannot be outlined in the same way as others. Although I felt the emotions, the exact moment of realization was personal and took some time to discover. Answering this question was a process for me.
I took some time to get in touch with my soul, understand my feeling, analyzing my sentiments as this time felt different, so it was fairly new for me — I had never felt something so significant.
I realized that he brings me a sense of completeness and contentment that I never knew I desired. Being with him gives me a feeling of overwhelming tranquility, like standing in front of big waves in the ocean or hearing the waterfall — flowing over a vertical drop. He makes me feel like I’m on top of the world, gazing at the view from the summit of Everest.
He makes me be myself, but a more satisfied and fulfilled version of myself. And that’s how I know that I am in love.
