How do we know if we're in love? How do we know that we've found 'the one'? What IS love actually?

Is it the feeling of caring for someone deeply?

Is it that when you're in love with someone, he's the first person you think about the moment you wake up?

There are many definitions of love and frankly, none of them really is the truth.

Next, how do we differentiate between love and lust?

Questions of the heart which no one can really answer.

I've had love, I guess you can call it that coz it lasted for 3 years. But honestly, I'm relieved to have gotten out of that relationship. It was getting too ugly and if I had continued, I would've been driven out of my mind.

But I'm still confused with my feelings and I'm not sure how to feel or what to feel anymore. Most of all, I'm terrified of my past and I'm terrified that history will repeat itself. I learned a lot in the past 3 years which was good but I learned it the hard way.

For the first time in 1 year or so, I can finally say that I'm happy =)

And I owe all of this to my other half, Sandra. I love you so much honey, you helped me through everything and you were there for me the whole way. When I was sinking down in depression, you were the one who pulled me up and made sure I did not let anyone bring me down.

Next, I owe it to my beautiful cousin, Lisa. Even though we only got closer recently, the moment we met, we read each other perfectly. You were there when I needed a shoulder to cry on, you were there when I was really down and you gave me all the support in the world. I love you sweetie :)

Then comes my 2 newest friends, Katherine and Jasmine. They were my first friends in a new school, in a new environment and a new class. They understood perfectly and helped me through the roughest months of my life. They were there for me when I needed to rant and when I was really down. I love the both of you loads :)

Finally, I love all these people because now that I've found happiness, they are happy for me :)

Thank you and I love all of you :D
