.:*Election Day*:.
So here we go, day number one. Definitely not the first to say this, but who knew I would ever join one of these livejournal things? I mean really, I have been pouring my heart out to my dear diaries since kindergarten. The first diary I ever received was small, purple, and had a lock and key. A 6 year old's secrets are very personal...
At any rate, I've been reading a few of my friend's journals and they were beginning to piss me off. Instead of ranting and raving at them, I thought I'd let it out here. One of my "acqauintances" was talking about true love and how he doesn't believe it exists. For those out there who have never experienced it, I'm sure this is the case. He was talking about those petty and meaningless relationships that are centered around sex and how the couple say things like, "Baby, even though we've only been fucking for two days now, I know I love you... this is TRUE LOVE!!" Sure people like that give true love a bad name and make them look super ignorant. But let me tell you that you cannot base your perception of love off of other people's. Everyone thinks of it differently, there is no set definition...it's useless to analyze it. The reason I became so upset at reading this was because it was so cynical. Personally, I feel like I know what true love is. My boyfriend and I have been best friends since sixth grade and we started dating a year and a half ago. Aww...what a fairy tale..lol whatever. I know not everybody has lived down the road from their high school sweetheart, but it doesn't mean they love each other any less or more. I dont know... it just upset me because I know he has never had a sound relationship, let alone one that would let him know what love means. He shouldn't knock what he hasn't experienced. Someday his cynical view of love may make him miss his true love. If he believes in it by then.
