Hey guys!! So I finally decided to start my blogs. One reason I took so long to start is because I couldn’t decide if I wanted to tell you guys stories about my summer or to write about things I have learned/things that mean a lot to me. So of course me being me decided to write about the deep and juicy stuff. My first topics is “being young and in love.” Something I have a lot of opinions about. So let me tell you where this blog idea all started. We recently had a youth get together at my church. Of course all the kids are running around, the boys are outside playing basketball, the old ladies are inside talking, and the old men are who knows where. haha. Where am I? Right in the middle of the old ladies conversations. They were talking about our generation and how we don’t understand the concept of love (which is definitely true). One of the old ladies said, “Honestly I don’t understand why children even think they know what love is.” (which I thought was so dumb) I know we are very fresh in our lives and of course we aren’t gonna have the same love for someone now as we will our husbands/wives someday, but we do know what it is. The love we have for someone now can be true love. It is our first love. (Now I’m not saying this is always the truth. We all know a couple that has a new “love of their life” every other week but... for some of us, it’s real) It’s just a more limited type of love. There are different depths of love. As we grow up and learn more about ourselves, we will learn to love deeper. Until then we kinda just have to work with what we got. haha. I know you guys are probably thinking “why should I listen to you?” or “have you seen your history with ‘love’?” You are right. It’s been messy, but isn’t everyone’s experience with love a little bit messy. You have to go through heartbreaks to be prepared to love the person you are meant for. Okay! Sorry if this was a little dramatic and way different from everyone else’s blogs. I promise not all my blogs are going to be like this. :))
Well dang leka that one hit kind of deep. How did I know that you would be the one to write something like this lol. But I agree with you on both sides of the situation. Teenagers get wrapped up in the "love" that they have now, which I would say is love, just like you said it might not be as strong as when we are older, but that doesn’t mean that it still isn’t true love. I’ve been with you through all of those messy loves of yours lol, and surely you can only go up from there. Love ya girl.
