IN Love

Someone recently asked me: Can 'falling in love' exist? Love exists- we all know that. We love friends and we love family and we love people around us. But falling IN love is an entirely different experience. And I think there are many stages of being in love. A child can be in love with their best friend. A teenage couple can be in love. A twenty-something year old couple can be in love. An eight-year-old married-for-sixty-years couple can be in love. But these are all different stages of love. Different elements and experiences effect these different ways of being in love. There are a million and one ways to fall in and out of love. And I think being in love exists differently for different people. For some people it doesn't exist at all. It's entirely a matter of personal belief and development that determines whether being 'in love' exists for each individual person.
