Mind-Twisting
July 9, 2010
“Love…” she drawled.
“That’s it! I am in love.” She exclaimed.
I rolled my eyes at her. “Sure. You are in love.” I said sarcastically.
“Do not be so negative. You say you know what love is, but you don’t. So do not judge me!” she snapped.
I stared at her wide eyed.
I am a romance-junkie. I never had a boyfriend, I never had a serious crush, and I have never been in love. I have read all the novels, watched all the movies, but I have no clue what love is…or was. I know so many opinions of love, but which one is true? In one novel, love is young but ever-lasting, in another; love is a bond that takes many years to forge. Well, which novel is right? I have been so engrossed in other people’s love lives, that I lost my many chances of experiencing my own type of love. I have lost my chance of love, now the scariest four letter word in my world is:
LIKE.

wow..um, i think that..maybe there are different shades of love but there is one shade of love that is so unreal, so forbidden, so magical..but i think that not everyone experiences this kinda of love, it happens rarely and if u do experience it then you are one of the luckiest people in the world..but like i said, i dont really know.. life is hard..

I know what u mean tottally. I mean there r so many kinds of love- so you do know about some of it. Like parent-kid love. Some times its hard to know love-love cause theres even puppy love vs. i want to married the person love. I dont like being a teen D: when did i sign up 4 this???? I wonder if high school sweet hearts just happen cause the people r "old souls" and the r overly (no saying that is good r bad just saying) mature and so thats why they find love forever early as a teen vs. avg. teens who need to wait longer. Maybe? Still I relate- very confused. And then you meet some one you think about ALL THE TIME, and you question is that love? Or obsession? Or is love actually obsession. Uhg I think to much! My head hurts now!!!! XDStill whatcha think? Love is crazy if you ask me and makes you blind in ways.

Nope. I feel the same way. It is confusing!!!!! I mean is love forever from early, forever over time, not forever? I am REALLY confused cause my parents just got divorced, so it's like shrug IDK anymore at all.It makes you question how much we know about it.I don't think well no anything till we just find it.Some day.

It's hard to wait for love to come.But in a way it's also hard to be in love. you want to stay with the person all the time but you can't you have to have a life. Untill your old enoff to get married and they can be your life. But even then. Love is something that is hard to describe since there r many kinds. U'll find some one some day. Trust me you just know when you meet them. You know. not like a crush where you talk your self into it allittle. Trust me there is someone out there perfect for you. Well as perfect as people can be anyway. ;)

I know teh feeling but ivee thought about this long and hard lol and come to this. They all write about love so differnt cuz its differnt for everyone and WHEN you fall in love you'll know the feeling.
i was thinking about love, and what it is, or was, one day.
and all i cold think of was nicolas sparks, stephenie meyer, and many other famous writer's books.
i have forgotten all about love, because of these new, mind-twisting books!
