When Someone New Steals Your Heart

When someone new steals your heart, you're filled with many mixed feelings. You're excited but cautious, electrified but tame, intoxicated but vigilant. You've found this new person that somehow got under your skin. For forever, it seems, you've been left to look over past experiences for an ounce of thrill and the euphoria of falling in love, thinking that you'll never find someone as worthwhile as they were. But them comes in this person: someone that's unlike anyone you've ever met.

When someone new steals your heart, you're over the moon. You never thought it would happen again, you never thought you'd get off the single train, but hey, welcome back. The euphoria sets in, and you can't help but thinking about the next time you're gonna see him or her. Their smile, a smile you wanna start getting used to, makes your day. Their presence is just a breath of fresh air. You never thought someone new could do that, but they're doing it with even a little more flair, and you can't help but begin to fall for them, but...

When someone new steals your heart, you're a little cautious. You may have been down this road of a relationship before, you don't want to go all in — just to protect yourself from a potential heartbreak. Oh yes, you remember those times of heartbreak very well. They were times where you can't help but think how you messed up, times filled with instant regret and self-hatred, and times where you couldn't even look at the face in the mirror. You don't want another repeat of that. You're holding onto a grip of reality, knowing that it may not end well, that you may be hurt, and that your heart may be left in shambles, but if you don't try, you'll never know.

When someone new steals your heart, steal theirs. Be crazy stupid in love; take a chance on this new person who rocks your world with just one look from their big brown eyes. When you find someone that makes your heart flutter, cut the search for "the one" and take a risk. Maybe they'll tear your heart to shreds, maybe you'll take a while to bounce back, but at least you'll know how it ends. And over time, your heart is going to start to build emotional callouses, and the bad stuff will have almost zero affect on your wellbeing, because you've been through the hellish emotional roller-coaster rides and ups and downs of relationships starting and crumbling down. But maybe, just maybe, if the stars align and it works out, and it turns out you and this new person, who isn't going to be new forever, are in love for years to come, well hey, don't say I didn't tell you so.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
