To Love or Not to Love
Love is something I find very hard to understand....studies show that people can't actually love (like "he/she's the one!" love) until they are 18. Does that mean that before that age, every single feeling for the opposite gender we have is just an infatuation? If it is, then why do we even bother having boyfriends and girlfriends? Why do we deal with all the drama that comes with them? Maybe it's because we feel we need someone that likes us in a different way then our friends and family. Someone who will make our heart skip a beat when we see them. Someone who makes us feel like everything's okay when we hug them. Someone who seems to understand us unlike anyone else. I don't know, but that's my little theory so now the question is whether you choose to pretend it's real love or just a phase that will pass.

I think love is often confused with infatuation (crushes) or lust... Both fall incredibly short of love. Love is when you would hold a bucket for that person when they're throwing up. Loving someone is staying up with them all night if they're afraid of something that might be incredibly stupid to you--like the fear of spiders or something--and actually being happy to do it for them. That's when you know you love them-- 'no greater love has a person than to lay down their life for their friends.'(john 15:13)
