love
So I 've been thinking.
What is love anyway? I mean there's love of something objective,
like a sport or a color or a place. And there's love in a family,
but that's a different kind of love too. Then there's love
between friends, something that holds two people together in an
(almost) irreversible bond. But it's this last kind of love that
eludes me: romantic love. You hear and see it every day on
TV and the movies and even with people around you, but how many people
actually know what it is, what it feels like? I certainly
don't. Something about it escapes me. I'm not sure that I
don't believe in it, but I can't say that I faithfully believe in it
either. Maybe you have to experience it to believe it, I don't
know. I just can't seem to grasp it - I can't even imagine
finding one person that I love conditionally over every single other
person in this world. You will never know everyone. You
will never even meet half of the people out there. Of the people
you meet, you might actually get to know a 1/4 of them. So from
that tiny fraction of all the people out there, supposedly there is THE
ONE for you? Maybe I'm just unlucky and the person who is THE ONE
for me is somewhere in Australia or something and I'll never meet
them. Or maybe everyone else is lucky and their person happens to
be near enough for them to meet. But isn't it kind of boring with
just that one person? How do you know that some person you meet
on the street corner isn't better for you than the person you're
with? I don't think you can, but if you can't, then is love
really just the person you feel the most connected with, even if they
aren't perfect for you? What if there isn't anyone perfect for
you? I wish I could believe in this love thing, but I just can't
seem to find something that is concrete enough for me to believe in
it. Trust me, I want to find someone that I will fall in love
with, but will I ever find them??

lady, you're crazy. first off we are only 15-16 and know people that are in the relative area. you're going to college and you'll find people there with similar interests cause that's why you go to college. there is more than ONE person out there that is meant for you cause there are many people that would attract you. he might be in australia but who knows, you might go there someday for the olympics! love is hard to grasp and I think with everyone it is different. don't doubt it though but don't fall too hard. I was told anything that starts with a BOOM! ends with a heartache. just keep this in mind though, you may and may not know that you love someone, you might deny it when you are weak, but whenever you see someone (whether you going out with them or not) and they may you happy and you feel comfortable and you love to be around them, I'd consider that love... it's hard but it's simple. don't think too deep my friend!
i still don't know....i think that what you said is love to me is just like a friendship love, like i love to be around my friends and everything else you said. but then romantic love to me is something else...i don't really know what it is and maybe it's just me but i find it hard to be in between friendship love and just plain lust- there's always one or the other, but not usually a very good balance
alright im gonna try again. Lust can be fun, but there's a difference. When you love somebody it's just so different from friends. They are your best friend and know you better than anybody, like family. REAL family. Friends you consider family, but not like that. Ya know? I KNOW I CAN MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND.... and I'm not gonna give up! Also, love is love. You'll know when you feel it. It's a mix of everything. You wanna cry, but smile. You wanna ahhh it's so hard to explain but I know somebody will do it to you!
hahaha i hope so....but still...anyway sorry to be difficult!! haha
you ain't being difficult, you just need something to make you beleive. just don't disbeleive it... it's a weird idea, but I know you'll grasp it!!! One day I'm gonna hear you say you know what it is, don't worry!
hahaha...who knows....
