Young Love

Never once have I heard, read, or seen anything like the fleeting affections of my generation. So I dedicate this blog to true young lovers.

 As children we are told that love is a beautiful thing and should be a main focus in your life, whether it is as a girl wanting to find the man of her dreams and get married in the most romantic way, or as a guy who simply needs to find the one who makes him complete. In this day and age, with all the media and negative influences that are found all throughout our daily lives it can become hard to determine what is real and what you WANT to be real.

A perfect example of this would be a simple high school crush, to like someone for their personality, looks and how well you two get along. On paper the potential relationship might look perfect but the two people involved end up heartbroken, now why is that? I believe this is due to our subconscious mind filling blanks to questions that we have not even thought of yet. For example before you even ask yourself the question “will we work together” your mind already has filled in the blank with “We will be PERFECT together”. This is simply just a side effect of the time we live and while it may seem like a little bleak, there is hope to overcome this real vs. fake ideal of love.

You must be able to think PAST initial feelings if you are to ever find true love. A lot of youth nowadays are simply rushing to find their soul mate just so they can say they have one. It is unfortunately these same rushed relationships that end in turmoil. We all know it is enticing to feel that you have found love, to know that you have met the person who was made for you, but in order to verify this, you must use more than your heart to think. You must ask yourself the big questions “Is this what I REALLY want?” “Does the other person feel the exact same way” “how much do I really know/trust this person”. 


Remember, to right one will not slip away if you wait, it is better to be patient and resolute rather than to rush relationships and be prone to heartbreak.

To the fellow members of this generation; It is up to us rise above any negative influence and gain our own respective loves. Always remember to think as the mature young adults we have grown up to be, rather than the young prince and princesses we were as children. Love finds all who are willing to wait for it.
