a misconception about love

teenagers aren't supposed to be in love right? we just think we are? i don't think i've ever experienced actual love before. i haven't loved someone unconditionally to a point where i would sacrifice everything for them. i think that's the problem with my generation though, we underestimate what love is. we don't understand the type of power it has over us.

i can't even describe how many people 'hook up' or have 'flings' and are convinced that it's love. that's not love; that's not even close. i'm not like those girls. i can't just trust someone with my feelings like that. trusting leads to disappointment and i'm in no condition to be disappointed by someone i care about again.

anyway, where was i? i'm trying to organize my thoughts. oh yeah --- teen love. i just find it stupid i guess, how people don't even care and just fling themselves at anyone any chance they get.

personally, when i'm really in love, i think i'll know. it'll be effortless. something i won't think twice about. i won't worry about how i look or what i say, i'll just be myself. i guess i sort of want someone to love me though. i know, i know, the right person will come, i'm young, blah blah blah. but sometimes you just sort of what someone there, someone you can count on and talk to. i dont know, i guess i've been missing that lately.

SO, i wrote a list of things i  think every girl wants a guy to do for her. if you ever find someone who does these things, never let them go :) let's take a look at it shall we ?

- write you poems

- give you handwritten letters
