Readers, Friends, Fellow Bloggers,
One of our friends, Thanks For All The Fish42, recently posted a blog about love... it's such an interesting topic to discuss...
So here we go!
Once again I shall bring up our dear friend Elena. She said something about love that I most certainly think describes it:
"Pain, happiness, sadness, more pain, that amazing, tingly feeling inside of you that makes you want to scream from happiness..."
Yes, that most certainly describes it... however, can a person at such a young age, say somewhere in the early to middle teens, feel "love"?
If love is all those feelings, and you've felt all of those feelings, have you experienced love?
Or have you experienced what we call "liking someone"?
What's the difference? Has anyone ever explained that? I mean, I for one believe that someone my age does not know what love is. That you need more experience than some schooling to know what love is. But what is "liking someone" ... is it the same feeling but less intense, or is it just our way of saying that the person doing the liking doesn't know what love is so can't say that they are experiencing it?
Whatever "like" is, it most certainly is a confusing state to be in. I know we all know that :-)
And what about a different kind of love... love for family, or for friends? Is it possible that a person can love family, love friends, love pets, but not love a significant other? And, again, there's a difference... but it's hard to pinpoint it, isn't it? Loving family members... you can't really describe that feeling. It's trust, it's passion, but isn't that involved in relationships too?
Love.... what a controversial, interesting, and CONFUSING topic to discuss.

"WHAT IS LOVE!? BABY, DON'T HURT ME. DON'T HURT ME NO MO'!"
Anyway...
There are so many types of love. Not all of them can be explained because love is a gift from God. God is a mystery and we do not know everything about him, so it is safe to say that's it's okay to not know what certain types of love are.
Love is something you can learn about as you grow older.
We are extremely young and the topic is definitely not going to come clear to us at least, most of the time.
Over time, we shall learn.
I don't know if I've experienced love. Love truly is confusing and it's hard to recognize.
I know that I love my friends and family. I love them all so much. I need them to survive. Without any love, people will feel as if they are nothing. They won't feel cared for because love is what makes you care.
Some people say that they care for people, but they don't love them. Well, that's full of shniz. There may not be a whole lot of love, but I guarantee that there is some there.
We'll figure it out one day.
I'll stop there because I'm sure I can go on and on.
