When your past relationships were the kind where the other person did only the bare minimum, you grow used to that kind of love. You forget what it feels like to be made to feel important - to be treated as a first priority. You start thinking that maybe that's the treatment you deserve, which is why when someone goes out of their way for you or values your happiness and cares enough to remind you that you matter to them, it's difficult to take in. You are surprised at this new kind of love - the right kind - the kind that assures you that this person will be there for you, no matter what. When you find people like that, the ones who make sure you always know the place you occupy in their heart, hold on tight to them. Let them know how much it means to you, this love. Appreciate them for their effort, time, the way they make you feel giddy with their affection, and do your best to make them feel just as valued and loved.
