Is it really worth it?
When we think about love we think about this amazing feeling everyone wants to experience at some point of their lives. But, do we ever think about that part where people suffer? Or how lots of awesome and talented people give up their dreams just because they believe they found "the one"?
I have seen plenty of people just giving everything up for someone who will eventually not be worth it. These type of situations can also be seen in TV shows or movies, take Lily from "How I Met Your Mother", at the end of the first season she realizes she just gave everything she ever wanted for Marshall. She almost lived a life she didn't even want in that moment because she thought it was worth it. Why give up your dreams just because you fall in love?
If any person my age tries to talk about this with an adult they'll just brush it off and say we're too young to understand, but I strongly disagree. I've thought about that lots of times, but I've come to realize that teenagers can experience love like any grown adult (teen vogue says it if you don't believe me). The thing is, I've seen my friends give up stuff that's important for them just because of some guys they love, and I genuinly think that's just ridiculous.
If you are passionate about something why is some guy you met weeks ago worth giving it all up? I believe that you shouldn't leave the life you love for some person who might hurt you. I'm not saying you shouldn't fall in love, because even I have been in love, what I'm saying is that no matter how much you love someone it is never worth giving up your dreas for that person at all. No matter how lonely you feel or how much you care aout that person, just take a deep breath and say, is it really worth losing all you ever dreamed of, all you've worked for. Love should never erase things from your life.
