young love is the truest in my opinion. no one has a better chance of staying together than high school sweethearts in my opinion!
as teenagers, we start out innocent. we have “fllngs” and young romances. but when we find that one, which we all inevitably do, that we decide we love. that we love enough to possibly see ourselves being with for the rest of our lives. the one that we doodle our names with theirs on the top of our math notes when we are thinking more about them then the stupid math lesson our teacher is trying to shove down our throats. we finally find that one after 13, 14,15,16,or 17 years of searching. and we are in love. true, unhindered, passionate, absolute love. but, …
then the world decides to fuck us over, screw with our heads and our hearts. the world decides that it doesnt want us to be together. and so the relationship falls apart. this will happen over and over and over again for some people. but once the world has fucked you over once, your heart is on guard. you protect it more than you did the last time, until the world fucks you over too many times and you harbor a steel wall where everyone elses hearts lie. you grow up, move out, pay bills, and get fucked over some more. you see what the real world is like. the world beyond highschool drama, where your biggest problem isn’t what pants you are going to wear to that cool party you were invited to but how you are going to pay your rent, pay your car payment, and find enough money for gas, electricity, and food on what measly paycheck you have coming your way. highschool love has it so easy. sure there are flaws in any relationship. but my belief is, dont give up on love. if you feel it, dont let some stuffy old hardened cold hearted adult tell you that what you are feeling isnt true love. or that you arent old enough to know what love is. because my 5 year old brother knows what love is. sure he throws the word around that he loves his toys, but in his mind, if he lost his toys i dont know what he would do. he devotes his life to playing with those toys. and when one is taken or lost, he gets very distraught. i dont know where im going with this other than that i am in love. and im tired of people telling me that im not. that im too young. that we wont grow up and get married and have kids and spend the rest of forever together. well guess what? ive been fucked over too many times to count. just like the rest of the world. the only difference is, i haven’t given up hope. sure im not stupid. we may not end up together. but for now. the chances are looking pretty good. and im going to keep them that way.
