Are you in love ?

I don't remember the source of the content below, I think it is nick miller.

Some people are good at being in love. Some people are good at love. 

Two very different things, I think. 

Being in love is the romantic part—

sex all the time, 

midday naps in the sheets, 

the jokes, 

the laughs, 

the fun,

 long conversations with no pauses, overwhelming separation anxiety … Just the best sides of both people, you know?

 But love begins when the excitement of being in love starts to fade: 

the stress of life sets in, 

the butterflies disappear, 

the sex becomes a chore, 

the tears, 

the sadness, 

the arguments,

 the cattiness … The worst parts of both people. 

But if you still want that person by your side through all of those things … that’s when you know—that’s when you know you’re are in love.
