Love is a Mysterious Thing

Nobody knows or can figure out what love really is until it has hit them in the face. Even when most people think they’re in true love, they’re most likely not. I’m not at all an expert on relationships and love but I do know a little something about it from my own past experiences and the experiences of those around me. I have figured out love is something you can’t explain, something that can completely take over a person. I know that I love my family but the love I have for them is not the same kind of love that I will have for my husband someday. It’s been said that you should only be in love with one person at a time but I believe that you can be in love with many separate people. This is mostly because each relationship has a different kind of love; no two relationships are the same. I know that I love my family, my friends, my pets, and a few guys who may or may not have stronger feelings for me. I have had guys say they love me before I ever felt a connection with them. In that case they are lusting after me or infatuated with me but not in love. Love is not a one way street, it has to be returned. If those feelings aren’t returned, it isn’t true love.

Everyone needs to Cry

Crying ever so often lets out all of the stress and build-up of emotions of everyday life. Without this kind of release we all would just become emotionless robots. Crying allows you to feel other emotions. The lack of compassion in our society today is due to the wanting to keep all of our emotions bottled up. The more we keep our feelings to ourselves the less connection we have with other humans and therefore we feel less sympathy for those around us. The media has told society that sex is okay but one problem with this is that we connect sex with love. Teenagers believe because of this love is something they can easily fall in and out of. That love is not that special and love isn’t as powerful as it truly is.
