The goal is usually to entice the one you admire the most. Many people try to grab attention for the sake of flirting; but when real feelings are involved and love kicks in, it’s easy to forget to put on your best shoes and your best clothes. And that happens because you’re too excited to see that one person that’s constantly on your mind.

You can’t share your personal issues with someone you’re in lust with. And that’s because you don’t want to showcase your vulnerabilities, and you don’t want them to change the way they see you.

Love, on the other hand, makes you trust the person sitting next to you; you feel the need to share because you know they will understand and support you.

Lust is all about sex. It’s not about the conversation, and that may lead to awkward moments of silence.

All our unhappiness and illnesses are fear-based. We're afraid of losing what we have or not getting what we need. We always have two choices. Do we feed the fear or do we feed the lovLust makes people live in the moment, enjoy the physical attraction and that’s about it.
