Have you ever been in love with someone else?

Continue reading as I continue to write an explanation about the difference between true love and a crush. I know this is a good topic, so please feel free to do it in the comment section if ever you want to speak up.

True Love

True love can be defined in so many ways, but before diving deeper to its meaning, have you ever felt it? Have you ever feel the butterflies in your stomach?

You know it’s love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you’re not part of their happiness. – Julia Roberts

True love, or falling in love, allows you to see a natural person, not just a feeling coated with sugar - or a change into a fantasy that emerges in your mind.

You will see the flaws and defects of the person you truly love, but you aren't discouraged. In fact, these spots can even increase your love for this person.

True love also gets stronger over time.

It may change, but it will involve a deeper range; it can survive through time and distance, explaining why the person who finds true love can remain loyal even if it is absent for a long time.

Sa Tagalog, masasabing true love ang namamagitan sa dalawang nagmamahalan kapag minahal mo siya bilang siya. Tinanggap mo siya kung anuman ang meron at wala sa kaniya. Pinili mo siya dahil iyon ang itinitibok ng puso mo at sinasabi ng isipan mo. Hindi dahil siya'y gwapo o maganda. Lolong hindi dahil mayaman siya. Kahit simple lang siya masasabi mo nang siya na talaga kapag tinamaan ka ni kupido.

Now, let us move on to the persons we called "crush", or simply those whom we admire!

When we are young, sometimes falling in love will bring us a little love. Only when we are significantly mature can we have the ability to truly love. Even as adults, we experience love from time to time. Secret love is just secret love. Except for true love, this is easy to say because it is mainly driven by the body's attractiveness.

I have always kept super secrets about my crushes, and I didn't even tell my friends because I was afraid that the rumors would spread. 

I have always been worried about what the people I admire will say if they find that I admire them. Some people are the were unexpected. Their looks can be deceiving as they say.

But, you will not let fear become an obstacle. Tell it directly when you have the chance because you might not tell it anymore when someone will do it first, which may remove your chance to your crush.

Kung mamamasyal ka rin kasama ang isang tao na gustong - gusto mo, masasabing ang pag-ibig na nadaram sa isang tao ay maaaring maging lubos na nakakahumaling.

There are also some of those who became your crush yet they still remain in your mind and heart even if the feeling has started a long time ago.

"Some crushes just never went away. They built, instead, into something permanent, obsessive and all-consuming." — Maya Banks

Here are some related articles written by several users here, and I compiled and present them here what they can say about true love and a crush!

Love x Infatuation

Written by: @Eybyoung

When you're deeply in love you feel calm and at peace seeing that special someone. When you're in love, you are always aiming to look descent for you to look respectable, even if it means being simple. You can carry yourself having a bare face in front of them because you can assure that someone really loves you for who you are and not for your looks.

First Love, First Crush

Written by: @MustBeUnique

We have all had a crush on somebody at one time in our lives, admit it. If you are just like me, you have presumably been too frightened to dare them and explain to them how you feel. If that is the case, you might be used to keep your crushes super-prime mystery. You would not also mention your friends because you might be afraid that any word would get out of your mouth. You were unmistakably worried regarding what your crush would say if they knew you admired them.
