Love

I may be young but I do think I have learned a lot about love in the last couple of years. The biggest thing being, you cannot choose who you love. No matter how hard you try, or even if you want to get out of it because it's a difficult situation, like long distance, you can't. I do think it has made me mature in certain respects, as the relationship has matured. I am not as naive as I once was. I know now that making things work is hard, especially if it's long distance. You have to find solutions for missing out on birthday's, holiday's, etc, like sending pizza to them on their birthday. I know that breaks aren't for everyone but sometimes they can completely change the relationship. For instance, I hadn't seen my boy for a year and a half up until last month and things are better than they have ever been. Leaving Hawaii was the hardest thing I've ever had to do but I think it was a smart move in the end. Guys can be lazy and make excuses til they're blue in the face and girls can be dramatic and catty but the key is that you'd rather fight with them than play nice with anyone else.

I don't want to say that I'm happy all day everyday but at the end of the day I am happy and after three years, he can still give me butterflies all the way from Hawaii to Massachusetts. Who knows how it will end but all I know is that I am sticking with it for now.
