I want crazy. I want passion. I want the love that you feel to your very core. The kind of love that keeps you up at night. I want a love that Nicholas Sparks looks at and thinks, “How in the world did I not think of that first?”

Tiffanie DeBartolo once said:

“Anything less than mad, passionate, extraordinary love is a waste of time. There are too many mediocre things in life to deal with and love shouldn't be one of them.”

And it shouldn’t.

I’m looking for the Chuck to my Blair, Lucas to my Peyton, Jess to my Rory, Derek to my Meredith, Jim to my Pam, and so on and so on.

I want to find the person who, no matter how long we’ve been together, somehow manages to give me butterflies and make me weak in the knees. I want to be in my sweats, hair tied, chillin' with no makeup on and look over to see my person and think, "Wow. There's no one else I'd rather be with."

Am I being cliché yet? Good. I like cliché. Is kissing in the rain overdone and, dare I say it, cliché? You bet it is. But I can 100% guarantee you that if the opportunity were to present itself to me, I would jump at the chance. Is writing letters just a tad cliché? Passing notes in the hallway? Well I’m all for it. Write to me to your heart’s desire. I’ll read every word.

Feel like posting about me on Snapchat? Please do. Instagram? I’ll double tap the hell out of that. Facebook? Twitter? Go to town. I’m not saying annoy every single person with an abundance of posts every five minutes, but be proud of who you love. Show them off to the world.

I want to find the person who makes all those sappy love songs make sense. To quote good ole Beyoncé, I want to be crazy in love. Talk trash on T-Swift all you want, but the songs like Love Story, Everything Has Changed, Mine, Sparks Fly… Like hey, what's up, hello, sign me up.

With all this being said, let me clarify a few things. I realize that relationships can be hard. They can be tiring. They are not always perfect and they most definitely are not always like what you see on TV. I’m not delusional or naïve (okay, maybe a little naïve but that’s beside the point), but I do know that I want a love that makes me a little mad, a little crazy, and a little irrational. I want a love that against all odds, makes it and I realize that that means putting in effort even when it’s not as easy as it seems on TV.

Maybe I’m over the top, maybe I’m a hopeless romantic, maybe I’m just crazy, or maybe I'm all of the above. But all in all, I am someone who wants the adrenaline rush just from seeing the person I’m madly in love with. I want to hear their name and feel my heartbeat speed up. Again, there are so many mediocre things in life, don’t let love be one of them.
