You just met this person and you shake when you're with them. Thoughts cross your head about being together forever. People think you are crazy because it's way to quick to fall for someone. People will call it infatuation and maybe those people are right, but just maybe they aren't right. Never forget the illustrious Elvis Presley said, "I can't help falling in love with you."
Growing up in a small town where 300 people wasn't your class size it was your entire school I always knew things were different. Whether that be falling for someone or failing anatomy. It seemed like relationships started at such a young age compared to where they used to start. The first kiss that usually took five dates to get, now only takes one crappy movie. People used to say they felt sparks during the first kiss and I never remember feeling that. I felt the sparks the first time I saw that special someone in a certain light. No physical touch, no words needed to be said, not even a wink of the eye. For some, well actually, for most it was infatuation because after an hour or a week it would fade to nothing. The few that the feeling stayed with was special no matter what the outcome turned out to be.
When you first start to fall for people it becomes like a drug for most. Affection is needed and not from multiple people, but from the one person you are falling for. You become independent of finding someone to be dependent upon. You always need to be looking for the one, which is so much harder than it sounds. You put all your energy, effort and money into a relationship and you've only been texting for a week. We fall so fast for people we forget about our friends or the people who used to be our friends. It's different for everyone, but yet the similarities are so close.
I've said the words, "I love you," more than most because I fall faster than most. People tell me that the word loses its value after you use it so much. If that is true I need to stop over using the word love for chicken fingers. I fall fast and I guarantee I'll be the first one in the relationship to drop the L word. Some people probably didn't deserve it, while others didn't get told it enough.
For those people who feel like this when it comes to relationships I have some words of advice. It doesn't get easier, it gets so much harder. Which depending how you look at it can be good or bad. If you fall fast for so many people you are bound to find at least one that falls just as fast for you. The feeling is amazing and can last for so long, but eventually it will fade. You will stop falling one day. You may not even realize it happened. You hit the ground with someone and you can either run with them or get left in the dust. Once you stop falling for the first time you hit the ground and I'm sure it wont be soft.
Once you have really experienced hitting the ground you will know. You will find yourself trying to fall for someone, but you just feel so uninterested. You will find people falling for you and you will shut them out. You will fall for people and you will push them away so you can't fall for them. This isn't the end of the world. I repeat, this isn't the end of the world. It is okay to not be in a relationship with someone. I know it took me a while to realize that fact. To the people that fall to fast, it all works out. For better or for worse is up to you.
It isn't easy to fall fast and some people may never understand what it's like. Just remember from now on when you are falling for people, they might be falling for you, but they hit the ground and they hit it hard. I've experienced both falling and getting back up. There is no perfect way to fall in love with someone, but in my opinion Elvis said it best, "Some things are meant to be, Take my hand, Take my whole life, too. For I can't help falling in love with you."
