Crazy lil thing called Love.

Human beings are in constant search of their soul mates or since some people do not like that term, lets say, they're in search for the best possible match. There is no such thing as the perfect person. But there is such a thing as the perfect person for you. Plato wrote that we were beings with four hands, four legs and two heads, and Zeus fearing our power split us up into two halves, hence we are destined to roam the Earth searching for our other half.

How do you know if someone is right for you? As someone who is quite social, I get along really well with most people. So how would I know if that girl I met the other day could be the one? I seem to get along really well with most of my female friends. Are we looking for that spark? That moment when you look into someones eyes and everyone around you'll disappears?  Those few seconds of instant attraction where your mind is fumbling around for what to say, you think something, but something else comes out, your body is screaming so many different things at you, your stomach is doing somersaults, your hands get a little shaky and you over analyse everything you've said or are about to say? Is that what I and everyone else is looking for? What if it doesn't exist, what if all that cause us to act like a monkey who is getting drunk and electrocuted at the same time was a slight misfire of neurons in the brain or just a simple awkward moment where you were lost for words?

It is often said that the perfect person for you has been in plain sight all along. What if this person is your best friend? Think about it. They've always been there for you. You trust them with all your secrets. It doesn't matter if they've loved before or said they'd never love again, they love you now, and that's all that matters. They understand you, they get you. Can even predict you at times.
Falling in love with your best friend is a beautiful thing. They're the closest person to you at this point of time, they're chat window is always open on your phone, they're the first to know about every major event of your life and the intricate details of all the minor ones too.

Whether you like it or not, you are already in an emotional relationship with them. You'll are typically like a couple and tend to ditch other, less important people to meet each other. Sometimes even boyfriends and girl friends get a rain check for your best friend.

But what if your best friend and your significant other were the same person? Can't be done you say? Why? Because sometimes, some people are meant to be your girl/boyfriends and some people are meant to be your best friends. Because you know when you have had a rough day and you need someone to make it better there is a best friend or if you want to make it worse there is a girl/boyfriend? Or is it because of a lack of physical attraction?

Let me tell you something about physical attraction: There is no barrier that alcohol can't break. Enough said. Then again, some people say that if alcohol is needed, it wasn't meant to be. Well electricity was discovered because lighting struck, not because someone slowly cranked up a generator.
People are afraid. Afraid of being alone, afraid of going through all the wrong people, afraid of dating the right ones cause they might lose them.

You can go through your whole twenties doing one night stands and friends with benefits or whatever other arrangements people have these days, but you will still feel all alone. Because at the end of they day, we're all human, and being human, we need to find that connection. There is that popular saying, "Its not about who you wanna spend Saturday night with, its about who you wanna spend all day Sunday with."

Don't be afraid, ask them out. Test the waters. If you'll are that good friends, you'll can come back from anything. Love is a an amazing feeling and we will only have one true love in our whole life. Don't worry about being friend zoned, don't worry about your heart being broken, you've already trusted them with your heart the minute you called them your best friend.

Its really sad what people call love these days, there are no more romantic gestures, there is nothing sacred anymore, nothing saved just for a relationship. Its really sad that there is no lying down under the stars, speaking your hearts out, doing something just to see them smile. everything is about hooking up and having fun.

In a world which advocates sex, true love is dying. Be romantic, make the first move, your best friend is your soul mate, you'll weren't stuck with each other, you'll found and chose each other. Don't stop believing in true love, don't stop believing in the possibilities.

How can you sit next to them when everything within you is screaming that they're the one for you. If your face lights up when you see them, if your day is better, if all the hot chocolate in the world doesn't make you feel as good as their hugs do. You've found the person you're looking for. I cannot promise you that this relationship will work or even go the distance, but I can promise you that if you give it a shot, you'll be really happy wherever it goes, it will be one of the best relationships of your life.

There is someone who you've been thinking about while reading this. Just saying.
It is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.
