What is LOVE?

What is Love?? The answer is indescribable. I wish it was something that I could just pick up in a magazine and it have some quiz or secret way I could tell what love truly is. I could describe myself as always having been a romantic (Although at heart I guess every young girl is). I can remember myself as a young girl dreaming away at night about how I'm going to meet the love of my life and fall in love, and get married and live in the most perfect house and live the most perfect life with the most perfect children. As children we are divulged in the fantasies that many childhood disney movies bring upon us. In Cinderella we see a poor girl fall in love with the Prince(the man of her dreams) And they live happily ever after. With the famouse song, "A dream is a wish your heart makes..." This song sticks with many of us throughout our lives. We grow up dreaming of our prince. Our prince charming whom we are going to fall madly in love with and of course "live happily ever after." Then we enter the middle school years. Middle school can do wonders for a girl, along with bring on a bunch of crap. While in middleschool the 11, 12, and 13 year old girls dream of their highschool years. And in their highschool years they have found the most perfect guy imaginable. They imagine themselves falling ever so deeply in love with their "highschool sweetheart". I suppose this would be any young girls fantasy. And I will admit that it was and is my fantasy. But can this young girls fantasy ever be acheived? Sure you hear of those stories of people meeting the love of their life while in highschool and then end up getting married and growing old together with them. Oh what a life that would be. But could it happen? My opinion on the matter is that it very well could happen. However, and I do mean a big however, I beleive it truly depends on the person(or people) in the relationship. What factors have to be apart of the romance, I could not tell you. I have not an idea as to what keeps a relationship strong and ongoing. Through my own expierience (which may be limited) I would say friendship is the key. Having a strong bond with the person in many different ways does wonders. A best friend is someone you can always count on, a person you can tell anything to, a person who would always love you no matter what your mood may be. A solid strong relationship as a 15-16 year old can be a challenging thing. Feelings can be confused, and feelings can be hurt. I am a 15 year old girl in my junior year in highschool struggling with many feelings inside of me. Those feelings I cannot even being to put into words. I cannot say what they are. They are indescribable. Love is a stong word, and when used wrongly can hurt many people and give false ideas to what love truly is when used at such an impressionable age. I may not know what true love is, I cannot give a defintion of true love (nor do I beleive anyone else could). But what I can do is say that it is out there. Love does exist. Love can be found. What I can say is once you have it grasp it and hold on tight, because your in for a bumpy ride. Never let go. Love with your whole heart and your whole mind. I am a 15 year old junior girl in highschool. And I beleive LOVE is possible. -Lindsay
