181. EVERYONE IS SO IN LOVE WITH BEING IN LOVE, THEY FORGET ABOUT WHO THEY'RE ACTUALLY "FALLING IN LOVE WITH." STOP FORCING YOURSELF TO FALL IN LOVE WITH PEOPLE YOU BARELY KNOW. IF THE RIGHT PERSON COMES ALONG YOU WON'T HAVE TO TRY, EVERYTHING WILL JUST FALL INTO PLACE. AND IT'S OK TO BE A LITTLE BIT LONELY FOR NOW, IT'LL ALL BE WORTH IT IN THE END. Got Wisdom?1.infatuation - a foolish and usually extravagant passion or love or admiration
2.infatuation - temporary love of an adolescent
" Infatuation is
instant desire, one set of glands calling to another.
Love is
friendship that has caught fire. It takes root and grows, one day at a time.
Infatuation is marked by a feeling of
insecurity. You are
excited and eager, but not
genuinely happy. There are
nagging doubts, unanswered questions, little bits and pieces about your beloved that you would just as soon examine too
closely. It might spoil the dream.
Love is the
quiet understanding and
mature acceptance of
imperfection. It is real. It gives you
strength and grows beyond you, to
bolster your beloved. You are warmed by his presence,
even when he is away. Miles do not
separate you. You want him near.
But near or far, you know he is yours and you can wait.Infatuation says, “We must get married
right away. I can’t risk losing him.”
Love says, “
Be patient. He is yours. Plan your future with confidence.”
Infatuation has an element of sexual excitement. Whenever you are in one another’s company you are hoping it will end in intimacy.
Love is the
maturation of friendship. You must be friends before you can be lovers.Infatuation lacks confidence. When he’s away,
you wonder if he’s cheating. Sometimes you check.
Love means
trust. You are calm, secure, and unthreatened. He feels your trust and it makes him even more trustworthy.
Infatuation might lead you to do things you’ll regret later,
but love never will.Love lifts you up. It makes you
look up. It makes you
think up. It makes you a better person than you were before.
"I think its about time that people know the difference
between Love and Infatuation :)
Saves a lot of heartbreak for the world.
