The Art of Falling In Love

                Love, isn’t it the most amazing feeling in this world? When you hear the word love, different emotions, thoughts and memories explode inside you. It will make you remember the most astonishing feeling someone has ever made you feel. It might be the sorest sensation in this world or the happiest feeling this world can give.

                Honestly, Ed Sheeran’s music actually gave me the inspiration for the subject of this blog entry. For the past few weeks, I was addicted with his new album “X” especially with the tracks Tenerife Sea and Thinking out loud. These songs mainly focus on expressing one’s love to a special someone. “And I'm thinking about how people fall in love in mysterious ways” this is one of my favorite lines from “thinking out loud.” And yes, it’s true, people do really fall in love in mysterious ways. One moment, a stranger is just some random person you are likely to pass by along the hallways of Anselm’s, then next, this stranger might just be everything you’d ever hoped to see and be with. The one whose mere presence makes you hyperventilate, makes your heart race, and gives you goose bumps with the messages he sends you.

                Love isn’t always what you expect it to be. Sometimes you expect too much from it, yet somewhere along the line, disappointment reels you in and you can’t escape from it. You start to hate the idea of being in a relationship and the idea of love in its entirety. But have you ever asked yourself about it? Did love really make you feel that way or you, yourself should be blamed about it?

The art of falling in love focuses on how to balance everything with love. Especially when it comes to your expectations. You can enjoy the perks of being in love but know your limitations, expect less and appreciate everything especially the little things. According to Ed Sheeran’s thinking out loud track, “And we found love right where we are “. Love is just around the corner and the one that you’ll share it with is just around you, it might be a friend or an enemy. So never closed your doors for love, because love come in an unexpected manner and in a mysterious way. And in falling in love things should fall into place, at the right time, right place and right someone.

And may I suggest, while reading this entry try listening to Ed Sheeran’s “thinking out loud”. They compliment each other.
