For instance, what is love? Many think it's the strongest emotion that a human being can have, but I seem to find the word over used and I think it's lost its meaning. These days' people throw the word around all the time. People look at situations and say, "oh that's not love" and try to define it as something else, like lust, infatuation, or 'deep liking' who is to say what love is and what love isn't? It's a word that really can't be defined because it means something different to everyone.

I used to have the fairy tale dream. One day prince charming would come riding up for me on his horse and we'd ride away to his castle where we would live happily ever after with our children, but through heartache and suffering I've realized that dream will never happen, nor will anything close to it. I don't fully understand the word love and I don't think I ever will.

But who needs love? I've lived my life for fifteen years without it, why should I chang

I've been pushed down so many times; I feel this time will be the last. As I lay here fading my thoughts are invaded by memories of my past I feel the pressures of shame and rejection building as I lay here, I have no strength to get up I'm not worth it any more.

First love is always the most important. You judge everything in the future by who that person was. Throughout the years a bunch of other great guys might come along but they just don't measure up to the one who first made you fall in love. So you give up so many chances to be with wonderful people all because you wish they made you feel like it was the first time all over again.

What about being independent? Being able to do what you want whenever you want and not having to worry that someone else is over analyzing everything you say all the time seems ok to me. Relationships in high school are easy to get in and out of, not in the emotional sense but in another way. Think about it, yea breaking up is hard to do but divorce is even harder. If you can't handle a relationship at a certain time you can call it quits and take a break, but when you commit to one person and say you love them with all your heart you can't just walk away from the situation.
