My English Professor wanted the class to write about the first time we fell in love, but that’s a topic that is difficult for me, so instead, I went around asking a few of my family members about loving a person and being in love with a person and this is what I came up with. A person can have love for their mother, father, siblings, children and etc., but to be in love, now that is something completely different. My family members and I came to the same conclusion, that when a person is in love with someone he/she only has eyes for that person. He/she can only think about that person or he/she can be doing something and that person comes to his/her mind. He/she can’t wait to see that person because all they want is to be around that person because that person makes him/her happy. Whenever that person is around him/her all their worries, fears and problems seem to fade away or are not as bad as he/she thought. Being in love with a person also means that he/she wants that person to be happy even if it’s not with him/her. We had all come to this conclusion because at one point or another we have felt this way about someone. I can honestly say that I know how to love but I also now how to be in love.
