Oh my god. The word is being displayed form every corner of Reader these days. It's as though there's a virus going around. People keep talking about love and how it never lasts and how people are constantly falling in and out of love every day and how love is fake.

Ok, first of all- and this is to all you other freshmen folk who are caught up in this madness- there is a huge difference between being attracted to someone and being in love with them. You can find a person to be the most attractive person you've ever met, and they could have a personality that matches yours like a puzzle piece, and you could be the cutest couple in the world, but if it's only been a day, you are not in love. Love takes time to grow and develop. If that perfect person dumps you after a week and all you do is cry a little and get over it, and then you get all pissed off and start badmouthing them and shit, that is a true sign of not being in love. Love is where you'd take a bullet for someone.
Also, no one can fall in love at age fourteen. Hormones, people. When you're a teenager, your body is telling you to go out there and GET SEXUAL. Because of these irritating hormones, the chemicals in your brain tell you you're in love, because generally teenagers want to fall for each other before they do anything else. It takes maturity and responsibility to form a stable relationship with someone.
You. Yes you, the teenager with the hormones. You are not in love. You will not fall in love until you are older. Deal with it.
Tres bien! I have but one disagreement. You say that we are too young to fall in love because of hormones--but that's not necessarily true. Something that is not necessarily stable when it begins can grow into something more as time goes on. That, and people go through puberty at different rates, so not everybody has the raging hormones.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I have a feeling I know what you're going to say, so I'll beat you to it: I have no experience at all in this area and thus probably have no idea what I'm talking about; I'd just thought I'd put this out here.
