Hi Kathleen,

It’s not awful at all! It’s wondeful!! Enjoy it! The butterflies, the giddyness, the excitement, the company and shared interests. Just take it one day at a time. Don’t worry about it being all about “love” right now, as that is putting too much pressure on yourself. Just enjoy today. Not many people get to experience these feelings, so you are very fortunate. Humans are social creatures by nature, we all desire love and to be loved. It’s an amazing feeling. You described it as “awful” why? Something so beautiful and natural. I say enjoy it! Enjoy this person! Life is short. Don’t overanalyze about it, the future, just enjoy and relax, and let things take it’s course. Yes, independence is nice..but it’s even nicer to share your life with that special someone..x
