Posted September 4Sep 4 Ok so I never thought I’d believe in forever. I thought love was messy, temporary, kinda stupid even. But then… someone came along. Not with fireworks or grand stuff. Just small things. Tiny things that made me pause and go hmm. Maybe this is different. But then you meet someone. And it’s not dramatic. No fireworks. No music in the background. Just small, almost boring things that feel different in a way you can’t shake. … 1 — You Don’t Have To Edit Yourself You say the dumb joke. You ramble about something that makes sense only in your head. Usually, people nod politely. But this person? They actually laugh. Or they add to it. And suddenly you’re like, oh… I don’t have to hold back anymore. … 2 — Quiet Isn’t Weird You’re sitting together, both on your phones, or just… there. No words. And it’s not awkward. It feels fine. Safe, even. You don’t feel pressure to fill the silence. It’s just easy. … 3 — They See You When You’re Messy Not the polished “I’m fine” version. Not the one you use at work or online. The tired, cranky, anxious side. The mornings you look awful. The nights you overthink. They see that. And they don’t leave. … 4 — Wins and Losses Are Shared When you win, they cheer like it’s theirs. When you lose, they remind you that you still matter. And you do the same for them. Not because you planned to, but because it’s natural. You lift each other without even thinking about it. … 5 — They Feel Like Home It’s strange. Home stops being a place. It becomes a person. After a rough day, just being near them. And It feels like dropping a weight from your shoulder. You breathe. You relax. That’s it. That’s home. … 6 — Fights Don’t Freak You Out You argue. You snap sometimes. But deep down, you know it won’t break. You’re still on the same side. The fight isn’t the end — it’s just part of learning each other. … Final Bit Forever isn’t big speeches. It isn’t perfect lines. It’s the quiet stuff. The laughter at dumb jokes. The silence that feels safe. The feeling of being seen. If you have someone like this, hold on. Don’t overthink. If you don’t… be patient. It’s worth it. It usually shows up quietly, when you least expect it. … So yeah… Have you ever had that moment when someone just felt like home? Thanks for reading. I hope to see you on next one): — — This post was previously published on medium.com. Love relationships? We promise to have a good one with your inbox.
