Infatuation

It's absolutely normal for people to admire other people and have "crushes". It's quite normal to daydream situations with people we want in our lives, but sadly, aren't. People want to be noticed by other people that they fancy. It's alright to research about someone you like, in one way or another. Those stuff are perfectly normal. 

But you can't expect the people you admire, admire you, too. You can't expect them to have daydreams that include you, too. You can't expect them to notice you in a world inhabited by more than seven billion other people. You can't expect them to get to know you more. 

Knowing someone from afar is different from knowing someone personally. Even those who know people personally don't really know the person completely. It's different to like the idea of dating and being together with someone from the actual thing. 

Love is not infatuation. Infatuation is the illusion of love, but actually, it's just lust. A lust for someone because of their physical appearance. A lust for someone's power or money. Lust is a temporary in breakable thing, while love isn't.

Love hurts, yes, but because of that, it grows stronger and mightier. It isn't feeble or weak. It's real. It lasts longer, some even a lifetime. Not only does it look at the outer being of the person, but also the inner being, the heart. 

To love someone is to accept their whole entire being, with all their flaws, all their mistakes. It's not that easy to love someone. Heck, it isn't. But to love and to be loved is the best and most important thing in this whole universe. Not even money or any other power is greater than love. They're all temporary, like infatuation, but true love doesn't just fade. It stays. It grows. 

Believe it or not, you're loved. I'm absolutely sure of it. Maybe you're not aware or maybe you have doubts on whether or not you're capable of being loved. But you are and there is. 

Live. Laugh. LOVE
