Puppy Love?

 

How do you know you like somebody? I mean like really like-like somebody and not just "puppy love." Wikipedia defines puppy love as: "an informal term for feelings of love between young people during childhood and adolescence, so-called for its resemblance to the adoring, worshipful affection of a puppy."

So how do you know when you really like somebody and when it's not just puppy love? 

Is it when you can't stop smiling when you see her? Is it when you feel a burning sensation or butterflies in your stomach when you're near her? Or is it when everything she says makes you laugh and smile? Or is it when you can't stand seeing her cry? Or is it when you can't seem to find the words to speak when you are near her? Or is it when you speak to her, you stutter? Or is it when you look out your window at the stars at night, you wish she were beside you leaning on your shoulder?

How do you know? "Love" or "Puppy Love?"

Just Some Thoughts

It is long past sunset, yet I sit here with a cup of hot chamomile tea and some light music playing in the background. Today was very relaxing. I woke up very early before the break of dawn to study for an exam. I was 15 minutes late to the exam, but it didn't bother me much. After class, I went and slept in the car for a few hours. Early in the evening, I met up with a few awesome people, and we drove off to dinner as the sun began to set. Why did God bring these people into my life? I think simply for the sake of laughs and smiles... but maybe more...
It was a pretty relaxing day. Now I'm in my warm room with my almost empty cup of chamomile and some light music in the background. I should be asleep-- why can't I stop thinking about it?

I was talking to a friend today about being single on Valentine's Day. I am bold enough to say that I am content with being single. I am so busy with life that it doesn't seem to bother me like it bothers many other people... February 14th is coming up, yet I am still satisfied with spending time with friends and family. Hearts, teddy bears, flowers... I think I'm okay. I think I'll be fine... I think so.
