Love
Love is something our hearts Desire, Want, Long for, and most of all Need everyday. When we say "I Love You" to someone we know, we generally mean it as a friend or family member, not as a lover and when we meet the person who makes us feel all of these things, then we mean it as a Lover, we think that they will never do anything to hurt us, physically or emotionally. And when they do, it may not have been intended to hurt us at all. A good friend of mine told me "Love isn't always romantic, plainly put, it hurts. Your loved ones can hurt you in ways that no one else can" and I realize that she is right. Our loved ones can hurt us in ways NO one else can. As Kids and Preteens we have crushes on our friends or classmates, as Teenagers we get more serious with our relationships, we'll do things like hold hands and maybe even have the occasional kiss with the person we have chosen. And as our relationships progress we go farther than just the tentative kiss; and eventually we want to go all the way with the person we are with. As teenagers we think we know everything about love after one relations ship, the truth is we don’t. Plain and simple we don’t realize Just how much we end up putting into our Relationships, and if they don’t work out... Our hearts get broken. I’ve seen people who have given their all in the relationship they are in and sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn’t, we don’t realize that as a friend it effects us also, seeing someone we care about to lose someone they love hurts just as much as if it was our own relationship because we care about that person ... But sometimes we don’t count on falling for that friend ourselves. When we fall for a friend we try to hide it because we think it’ll be too weird for us or sometimes we tell that friend that we have fallen for them and it may work out for us and… it may not. Someone told me “if it’s meant to happen it will if it’s not then it won’t”. When you think about it, it's true, we may want things to happen and they don't and thinks we desperately don’t want to happen Do especially when it comes to relationships. Even if that person leaves, our feelings for them don't. We still care for them more than we let them know. We also have to realize that some emotions will surface more strongly than others and can be misunderstood by us; I know from Personal experience that it isn’t easy to handle. Having so many emotions running around in your head, it gets so confusing and you get to feeling depressed because of actions that you do, you end up hurting people that you Never want to hurt. When that happens it scares you, because the person who did those actions isn’t who you really are, and you feel so alone and afraid, but you have to realize that you are not alone. Ever, you always have people there who will help you through it and who will have the guts to be blunt and honest with you and who will tell you to Wake Up and realize what’s going on. A close friend of mine brought me to my senses, I was feeling So Sad and hurt that I lashed out at people I cared about just to make myself feel better and I ended up hurting people I love, when you are feeling hurt and angry things seem to not matter except for what You are feeling, but that’s not true they do matter because they have consequences. My friend told me what he thought and that woke me up to how I was acting, I will always regret the actions that I did to hurt people, but I also can’t have a pity party about it I have to keep going on and hope that the people I hurt can forgive me someday
