and lust is picking and choosing what you like about a person.

Love is also one of the scariest experiences we can ever go through. It is so powerful, when it's genuine, what we are willing to do to keep it should be terrifying to any sane person. We find that the things we try so hard to keep hidden as to who we are personally can't stay hidden from the person we love, whether it is by our choice to disclose certain things no one else would ever get to know, or because we find that it can't be helped and those details are leaving our mouths before our brain is telling us to stop. I am a strong advocate that everyone has their personal baggage we keep hidden from people we know are unworthy of knowing it and can't handle knowing. When you're in love though, it's almost as if you want that person to know everything. This is good and bad. It's good in the sense that it is a telltale sign to you that your level of disclosure has increased more than it ever does normally, and that should be a huge sign that the person you are disclosing information to is someone you probably subconsciously know is worthwhile of truly knowing you. As humans, we are very superficial by nature, it is the people we are genuine with that we need to pay attention to.

Personally, I have been in love twice, one of the times I question if it was ever real to begin with and if I didn't mistake it as lust. Comparitively speaking, my first experience to my second experience, the more time goes on, the more I know the first time wasn't genuine and that even when the relationship was good I never felt the way I do now in the second relationship. That brings me to my next curiosity, why is that when we're in love, a need to share it overpowers us? I'd like to say it isn't for gloating purposes, but I'm not so sure. I think it may be more of a way to express all the emotion we are feeling at the moment when there is no other outlet for it. Sadly for those we express it to, it can easily be interpreted as gloating.

I think everyone falls in love at some point. I think the term "falls" or "falling" is more than accurate because it happens unexpectedly and once we realize it has happened, we see how hard and fast it happened, and by the time we realize it we see just how lost we let ourselves get. It's the people that take love for granted, thinking it can easily happen again and that it isn't something to appreciate, are the one's who will never know what love is because they will never let themselves
