When you know, you know.

Have you ever had a stranger walk into your life unexpectedly who decided to never walk out? Okay, that sounds creepy. But what I mean is, has anyone ever become a part of your life that you never expected to? Because I have and it is the greatest feeling. And after you meet them you think back to before you met them and think, "what was I doing without you?" Because that will happen. Not in a "I couldn't survive without you" in a kind of way, but more in a "you make my life better" kind of way.

I had no idea what people were talking about when they said you'll know what love is when you meet that special someone. I didn't think that it could ever happen to me. But the question I always asked myself when I heard people say that is, "how can one person make that big of an impact on me?" But they can, and they did. But how do you know? Well, that's the easy part.

You know:

When you start watching the same shows as them because you like the idea of sharing something with them. Even if it's something small, like a Netflix show.

When you realize that all you want to do is silly stuff together just to be able to spend time together. things like walking around a mall all day and going into every store just to figure out what each other likes and trying to get a better look into their life and their personality. You even come up with little games to play around each store. you might feel like you're five, but that's the best part.

When you look forward to going to bed each night because you're excited to wake up to your person the next morning. Their morning smile is all you need to start your day off right.

When you can sing as loud as you want in the car together and have a single worry about embarrassing yourself with your terrible voice because they don't care either. You can eve try out a couple rap verses and completely butcher them, but they love you that much more for it.

When you know that in the future you want them by your side holding your hand.

When your person will try new things because they know how badly you want to do them and even if they're a little nervous, they will still do it because it would make you happy.

When your person will share intimate details with you about their lives and let you know how important you are to them. They will never go a day without telling you.

And when you can look into their eyes and know that they want to be exactly where they are with you as badly as you want to be their with them.

That's how you know. That's how you know you've found your person.
