I meant to type this up back around home coming....especially home coming night, but i let it sit so I could actually write something coherent instead of just rambling....like im prolly gonna do neway.
This article is about love.
Someone a couple of months ago asked me if I loved Gina. I said I did (and still do). They then became offensive and asked me to explain how I knew I loved her. She claimed that we were still in 'new love' and hadn't experienced any 'hardships'. First off I call that a blatent lack of sense, assuming my life has been lacking in 'hardship' just because I don't feel the need to tell everyone and their mother when I have a problem....But anywho back to the happy reason i was writing this article.
She asked me to explain how I knew I loved her (Gina). I gave her the answers, "Because every time I see her, I know I want to see nobody else. If I'm having a bad day she's a guaranteed way to make it better. Because every day that I am with her is the best day of my life, and as long as I am with her, I know the days will always get better". These are all true, but they aren't the only reasons. I wish I could say all the reasons for love, but at the same time i feel that if you can say exactly why you love someone, and you can give every reason, then it probably isn't true. Love should be unexplainable, it should be deep, it should be unpredictable. And if you don't agree with me thats fine, cause everyones definition of love is going to be different. That is one of the most exciting parts of love, that 2 people who are in love could have different definitions of that state, yet they both still feel that unexplainable feeling.
Which reminds me that love has to be mutual. It can not be one sided or one person is going to end up hurt. I don't speak of first hand experience, but from 16 years of second hand experience with 9 female cousins, lots of female friends who came to me when their relationship life went down the hole, and hours upon hours logged of chick flick watching (yes i'm weird).
This article is the culmination of my feelings after 2 weddings, 2 awesome HCings, 1 awesome Prom, and 420 consecutive best days of my life. If anyone ever asks you what love is, and they try to tell you that your wrong, tell them to talk to you when they experience true love.
