I've always been more on the observant side. So, these past few months, I've noticed that many a person will start dating someone, and within a two week period, they will be claiming that they love such and such and that they are going to be with so and so forever. Now, call me old fashioned, but that just doesnt make ANY kind of sense to me. Since when do you know that youre going to be with someone forever in, say, two weeks? I mean, get real. That isnt love. That is lust. I mean, love isnt something that you can just fall into one day and fall out of the next. To really love someone, you have to know them for a while. You have to have been with them for a while. You have to pretty much know each other heart and soul. And, last time I checked, you cant do that in two weeks. Getting to know someone takes more than just asking them about themselves, or reading their "About Me" on myspace or whatever. To really know someone, you have to be able to say that when their laughing, they twitch their right eye or something. (I dont actually know someone that does that, I just made that up.) For you to be able to say you know someone, you should be able to tell me what they do when they fall asleep at night, or how they sneeze, you know, just the smallest things. Love is the same way. You have to know everything about that person, and, with TIME, come to love and cherish all those little things that they do, like twitch their right eye when they laugh. And when you're apart from them, you miss all of the little things that they do. Even the little things that drive you absolutely INSANE and that you wish they would stop doing. If you really think about it, if the person you loved stopped doing the things that annoy the piss out of you, you know you would miss them. That's what true love is. Looking past all the imperfections and the little things. Love the things that are perfect about somebody, because nobody is completely infallible.
And remember kidds, Love really does take time. You arent just going to find the perfect person for you tomorrow. (You might meet them, but you won't know that they are the perfect person for you until you actually get to know them). Knowwhutimsayin?

I love this blog!! I love how you look at "true love". However, I would have to disagree with you about not being sure you love someone it two weeks for obvious reasons. That whole thing about missing things that annoy the piss out of you, I still do that...with the WRONG person in mind...
