How to *really* know you are in love
medium





Because most of “the signs” they tell you are garbage

If you try to Google “how to know you’re in love,” you’re gonna have a bad time
“When I imagined my future job/location/adopted dog,
they were always in the background of my imagination helping me out with whatever I was doing. My future just didn’t really make sense without them around.” Well, I mean, damn. You fantasize long and hard enough, you can see anything in your future — like
I could imagine moving to Switzerland to be a goat farmer. That doesn’t mean I should. The problem is that we’ve made “love” into a game of escapism, and measure potential partners by how they fit into that fantasy. That’s not love. So, sure, see them in your future — but not because they “complete the picture.”
