14 Takes On What Love Feels Like

Love is all around us, even if we can’t see or feel it just yet. In honor of Valentine’s Day, we asked 14 of our friends to share with us what love feels like for them, and a song that matches that feeling.

Here’s what they said:

Love sort of feels like being at the top of a rollercoaster. You’re waiting for the drop, and there’s a small voice in the back of your head that wants to scream, “GET ME OFF!!!” But then you finally tilt over and realize you couldn’t pay someone enough for that type of high.
