The difference between love and a crush
It happened the moment you put it on; it happened in an instant; you weren’t ready, and suddenly it started. You met someone, and out of nowhere you can feel that sweet, tender, soft feeling that starts in your heart, the surge of emotion when you are with her. When she looks at you, your heart soars to heights you never thought possible before; when she looks away or looks at another person, she feels a slight tear in your heart, until she turns to look at you and is instantly healed and restored! You spend your nights thinking about her, you can’t sleep. School work is a distraction; the task takes forever; you spend your lessons daydreaming in a reverie. You are in love?
NOT YET. What I have described above is a total crush and it can happen at any time for both boys and girls. It’s exciting, dynamic, transformative, exhilarating, but it’s not really love. So, what is love? These are the differences between a crush and love:
1. A CRUSH – A crush is very exciting, your emotions go up and down all the time, you can’t think about studying, you can’t sleep at night, you think about the person you love all the time, you are always worrying, you feel afraid of to leave you, you can’t always trust him or her, your heart beats fast, a crush lasts a short time, when it ends, you feel sad, and it always ends.
2. LOVE – Love feels very calm, your emotions are constant, you find that you can study better than before, you sleep well, you think about the person you love in quiet moments, you don’t worry much, you feel sure that he or she will stay with you, you can trust him or her, your heart beats fast when you want it, love lasts a long time, if it ends, you still feel happy that it happened, also it can go on forever, even after death.
Crushes are not real. Love is real. If you’re in love with someone, it means you don’t love them yet. Crushes always end, but it could end up turning into true love, which would be great. However, if this does not happen, the crush is likely to end quite badly.
I hope this information helps you understand the difference, so you can identify true love when you’ve found it!
