Life has a way of throwing things at you, some good and some bad. When it comes to love, people often find that their lives change dramatically. For me, my life became easier. My days became brighter and my smile became more sincere. The thought of love always intrigued me. Eventually it ended up scaring me; but now it is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
1. I let my walls down.
I stopped being so skeptical about everything. When I heard the words “I love you” I didn’t find myself having such a hard time believing it. I started to open up more and show my true self, because I felt like I could. They made me feel like I could.
2. Before everything I do, I now think about them before myself.
Before the clothes I buy, the food I make, or the music I put on, I think of someone else’s wants before mine. Not only this, but I also start to try to like the same things as well. My goal is to make them the happiest person in the world, and I will never stop trying to do that.
3. I can now listen to love songs without crying/feeling miserable.
Those cute songs that everyone loves now become some of my favorites. I have only happy thoughts running through my head, and my heart is smiling like never before.
4. Thinking about my future is exciting.
Instead of my usual cringe and stomach ache that come with thoughts about the future, I get excited that I get to take those steps with them. I have a partner who wants nothing but the best for me, and it's so much easier moving forward with someone who makes me the happiest person in the world.
5. I’m so much less stressed.
I’m no longer dealing with the tool bags or the wrong people. I am with someone who loves me unconditionally and it feels so good. I have a person by my side who shows me care and comfort, and I could not imagine my life without them. They care about my happiness and do everything in their power to make my life enjoyable for me. Waking up in the morning is so much easier next to the love of my life.
6. My other relationships become healthier.
I’m in such a better mood I treat everyone around me remarkably better. I enjoy being around people rather than being alone. I have good dreams, I wake up happy, and I am motivated to do my best every single day to make my love happy. I treat others around me much better because I know what it is like to be treated like crap, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
My life has definitely handed me some ups and downs, but at the end of the day I’m more grateful than anything. I met my soulmate, my rock, my other half, the love of my life. I live every day with a smile and I feel secure with my decisions. My days are brighter and my smiles are so sincere, and I wish everyone could experience a happiness like this at some point in their lives.
