The Power of Love: Embracing the Feeling of 'I Love You and I am in Love with You'"

 

Most of us will have had this feeling at some point in our lives: your heart skips a beat when you see your special one walk into the room, and the time you spend together makes you feel on top of the world. 

There are many different types of love. Some people feel butterflies when they're infatuated with someone special; happy couples married for years have a deep, profound attachment to each other; and a parent's love for their children is often regarded as the strongest love one can experience. When it comes to romance, the feelings of love and being in love are separate and depend on the stage of your relationship.

When you’re in love with someone, you experience a feeling of high that you do not want to come down from. It makes you feel like you are floating on top of a cloud, and you never want to let go. 

When you love someone, there is not much emotion there. It is more about thoughts.

You think about your significant other and wish the best for them. You care about them, and the emotions that come with this are just a simple perk.

Once you have crossed the stage of being in love with some to loving them, you will have to let go of the feeling of high and be prepared to ride the less emotional waves.

Do you think there's a difference between someone stating "I love you" and just "love you?" I pose this question because I believe there is a difference. When I react to someone I don't actually love, I usually say "love you too". I generally say "love you" to people I do not love romantically, but rather as friends or family. I prefer to save the "I love you" for someone I actually love or when I want to express my admiration for them.

Throughout the day, my children say, "I love you, Daddy". Although I'm used to it, there's something about the statement that makes my heart sing inside. Being loved is one of the loveliest feelings you can have in life. Nonetheless, it is one of the most complex statements in the human language. Is there a difference between "I love you" and "I am in love with you"?

 Is there a distinction between the two?

Love is a very complex thing. Made only more so by the fact that you can love someone and perhaps not be “in love” with them. There are times when you can be with someone who clearly “loves” you, but doesn’t seem to be in love with you. That is where things get a bit hairy.

You could say "I love you" to anyone you care deeply about. You can say it to your father, Mother, Sister, brother and your best friend. Loving someone is a great thing, However, it is not as purely romantic as expressing "I'm in love with you".

When you say “I love you” to your partner, you’re letting them know you care about them a great deal, but it doesn’t really convey the intensity of what being in love is all about. This is why saying “I’m in love with you” is much harder than saying “I love you.”

Being in love is both terrifying and amazing, awful and fulfilling. But, no matter how terrible it can be or how much you may be hurt, when you discover the perfect person, expressing "I'm in love with you" is worth it.

To summarize all I have said.

I’m in love with you means forever, till death do us part.

I love you means you’re beautiful.

I’m in love with you means you have changed my world.

I love you means we have so much in common!

I’m in love with you means our differences are a breath of fresh air.

I love you means you make my life easier, I’m thankful to have you.

I’m in love with you means let me make your life easier, I’m thankful to have you.

I love you means I want you to be happy. 

When you are in love with someone, you cannot see a future without them, you want to spend the rest of your life with that person. This is the main difference between being in love with someone and loving someone.
