Mind-Twisting

By Erudite, Rawalpindi, Pakistan

“Love…” she drawled.
“That’s it! I am in love.” She exclaimed.
I rolled my eyes at her. “Sure. You are in love.” I said sarcastically.
“Do not be so negative. You say you know what love is, but you don’t. So do not judge me!” she snapped.
I stared at her wide eyed.

I am a romance-junkie. I never had a boyfriend, I never had a serious crush, and I have never been in love. I have read all the novels, watched all the movies, but I have no clue what love is…or was. I know so many opinions of love, but which one is true? In one novel, love is young but ever-lasting, in another; love is a bond that takes many years to forge. Well, which novel is right? I have been so engrossed in other people’s love lives, that I lost my many chances of experiencing my own type of love. I have lost my chance of love, now the scariest four letter word in my world is:
LIKE.

don't be scared. you'll experience love. it's always like in the books. the books can't tell you how it'll be in real life. how it will be for you. and there's nothing wrong with liking. but, do you love your parents? siblings? friends? you know what love is. and if you're sure you don't, the way to find out is by just looking how others love you.

I like the way you wrote this! It's nice, but in a sad way.

BTW: you'll know when you're in love! No need to worry now.

they discontinued it? i didnt even know! i didnt know because i live half way accross the world, and over here we get the tv shows and tv movies really late like if a movie came out on the tv in the US, then we wouldnt have it on the tv till like 2-4 months later!! so i guess thats the same situation here!

It's hard to wait for love to come.But in a way it's also hard to be in love. you want to stay with the person all the time but you can't you have to have a life. Untill your old enoff to get married and they can be your life. But even then. Love is something that is hard to describe since there r many kinds. U'll find some one some day. Trust me you just know when you meet them. You know. not like a crush where you talk your self into it allittle. Trust me there is someone out there perfect for... (more »)

Nope. I feel the same way. It is confusing!!!!! I mean is love forever from early, forever over time, not forever? I am REALLY confused cause my parents just got divorced, so it's like shrug IDK anymore at all.It makes you question how much we know about it.I don't think well no anything till we just find it.Some day.
