It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
I used to giggle every time I heard this song. Like no Brandy I've never loved somebody so much that it makes me cry. Tf do I look like? .... Anyway, today's post will be about that four letter word that we all love to use so much. Love. What does it mean to be in love? According to dictionary.com, being in love is , "a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person." Jessica Som describes love as a feeling you get when you really care about someone and accept their imperfections and support them no matter what they do. I've never been in love. I once thought I was in love. Ha. Now that I've grown up, I'm starting to realize that it wasn't love. It was just some sick infatuation with some kid who was in my history class sophomore year. I see him now and I'm just like...why... And I never allow myself to get emotionally attached to any guy because I've watched so many people around me get their hearts broken. So since I know nothing about love I have decided to interview two people who might know a little more about it than I do. I interviewed my best friend and my sister who is 27. Ok. So here it goes.
Interview with my dear sister:
What does love mean to you?
What does love mean to me? It means a lot. For me true love is you love without any interest. You can't love someone because of their material possession or their physical appearance. You stand by them even if they're not perfect. There is more but you're can't type all that right now. (It's currently 10:58 and I'm typing this on my Ipod if anyone cares)
Have you ever been in love? If so how did it make you feel?
I was. It's really good when the person loves you back. If they don't then it sucks. You always want to be with that person and you do things for them and you want them to do the same for you. It's a mixture of joy and pain. It hurts when you're not around them and you're always left wondering if they're with someone else...Anyway, love is a beautiful thing.
Do you think teens are too young to be in love?
If it's true... If you found the right person. But I think it's better to be in love when you're in your late 20s.
Have you ever been hurt by someone you loved? If so, how did you move on?
All the time. It's not easy to move on because you want to hate the person. It's like you're two different people. On one side, you want to hate him and never talk to him but then on the other hand you miss him and you just want to hear his voice. I moved on by leaving the person and ignoring him. But sometimes it's impossible to move on because you love that person so much.
So any words of wisdom you want to give teenage girls out there about love?
I think it's better for young people to focus on their studies and being young and when they're in their 20s and more mature then they can handle being in love and it will be nicer and easier.

Interview 2 with my A1 Day1 Francesca Alcime.
What does love mean to you?
Meaning of love to me: to me love is when you have that person that you can call your other half. You know that you would do anything for them even if it's to keep a smile on their face. Having a mutual understand with that someone and being there for them no matter what. Sharing your goals with that someone and giving each other support. Love should be comfortable nd not difficult because life is already hard enough.
Have you ever been in love? If so, elaborate.
First time I was in love: I wouldn't quite call it love but it was heart breaking. I thought I was in love to the point that the thought of losing him scared me but after the big ending I realized that it was no where near that. We were just two teenagers trying to force a relationship.
What do you think of teens in love?
Opinion on teens in love: some of us teens out there may be with someone and think they love that person but in reality it's infatuation and hormones. I'm not saying that for all cases though. Some of us might have been lucky and already found the one. My advice to u is to hold on tight and don't let go. To those who are still searching, I'd say wait it out and not rush into it.

Do you believe in love?
Believe in love: do I believe in love?? That's a good question! I'd say yes and no. Yes because I have love for my family and friends who have stuck around long enough. No because I spent my childhood growing up witnessing marriages (people that took vows before God) tumbling down. People that swore they loved each other turned that feeling into hate. Love may or may not exist but ask me again in a couple of years or so.
Would you like to stay anonymous? Literally anyone can read this.
No bish put my name on that [explicit] lol my answers are from the heart.
What do you think is the difference between having a crush and being in love?
Difference between love and crush: I mean I might be wrong but isn't a crush what usually leads to love? You see someone that sparks your interest. Their personality lures you in and you just can't get them out of your mind. They stand out to you. You're crushing on that person. But you take a step forward and start to get to know the person. Then it becomes more about what makes them them and not their looks. Love is more than physical attraction. You accept the whole person as they are. Your feelings develop even more over time. You love that person.
Advice for teenage girls in love: take your time. Ask your friends for advice when needed. Don't ever let a boy keep you as a secret cause that's a problem. Trust each other until you've been given a reason not to. Don't be quick to end things but be quick to talk it out.

END OF INTERVIEW 2
So this is the end. What do you guys think? How would you answer these questions? Do you agree with Violette (my sister) and Francesca? I personally agree with everything they said and I'm not even being biased or anything. I apologize for all of the million mistakes in this post. The song at the beginning is called "Have you Ever" by Brandy. You know, from the show Moesha? No. Ok. Well I'm just going to go watch American Horror Story now. Farewell, my beautiful people.
I really like this post a lot, its creative but still relevant to pretty much everyone since we all experience love at some time. Its nice to hear how people identify love. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteNice topic. Love, in my mind is when you see yourself taking a bullet for another person. Like when it comes to my family, I would gladly take a bullet for them. To me that's love. So, if someone was to ask me 'Have you ever felt love?' I would say 'Yes' I've hand crushes on guys "we all have", but I haven't liked a guy so much that I saw myself dying for him.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way you do.
