It is a feeling everyone goes through. A feeling divine enough to excite you, to revive you, to mesmerize you. A feeling that stimulates your heart, your mind and your soul. Every person once or more goes through this phase. Love!
When I talk about love, it’s not about love of a mother for his child, or the bond between brother and sister. I am talking about love between two strangers. The attraction, the feeling of oneness, and the bond you can feel immediately between you and your love.
What makes it most interesting is that there is no such thing as two people perfect for each other. When you feel for a person, you feel beautiful, you feel complete, you feel that you exist. You feel your heart-beat 24×7, you feel alive but at the same time you also feel nervous and scared.
You start comparing yourself with that other person. Thoughts of you may not being his/her best fit, overhauls your mind. You start pretending to be what you probably are not and you lose. You lose every bit of chance you had right there, because anyone will love you only if you love yourself first.
Trust me, your pure soul is beautiful and that makes you more attractive than anything else. Be strong, speak your heart. I know it is not that easy. But hey, if you never make that move you will never know what could have happened, right? You do not have to be fancy, nor do you want to be awkward. You just want to be one thing, that’s what you are known to be and that is you.
Of course, results can go either way, but you will feel satisfied you did it. You made that move and know that there is a person out there who knows how you feel. That is the most beautiful feeling. Best case, you do not want to know from me, it cannot be expressed in words, worst case you are denied. But if you are normal enough, you can be friends, or you can just be strangers but a good stranger, with a pleasant memory which brings a smile to their face.
One piece of advice which I can share is we all want to feel safe, comfortable and respected and if you can make a person feel that way, no matter what the outcome of your approach be, you will get space in your beloved’s heart — maybe not as a sweetheart, but at least as a dear friend. And you will be happy!
