bahaha. so my 8 page paper on the french revolution can wait. i find this subject a lot more interesting, so much so that it has warranted a livejournal post.
since when does a nineteen year old who's never been in love know everything? because apparently that since is now. there was no "fog" that turned into a "clearing". okay. so love is a wonderful thing, michael bolton said is best. BUT it's also a learning experience. yes, i've been in love. for three and a half years i was! and the first two years were awesome. they were amazing and wonderful and special and all that bullshit. he changed me, inspired me, taught me. and then it turned sour. i got my heart broken. big whoop now, because i realized that now i will know when its love or just a little game that partners play back and forth.
i support relationships of my friends. if you think you're in love, or if its actually love then thats wonderful. but to up your life for someone youve only KNOWN for a year is ridiculous. take your time, get to know each other better, because i'm sure there's still a lot to learn.
she sits there and preaches as if shes experienced love and warmth and comfort from a guy. and its so silly and so childish to think that a teenager will be getting married in two weeks and her husband will drop everything he has to go and live with her. why the rush? if it's love, it will happen and it will stay forever. don't sit there and talk down on the people that have been there for you from middle school and on and are the reason YOU ARE SITLL ALIVE. arden and i have sat there through your your suicide threats, your boughts of depression, have listened to your endless hours of venting without saying a word. and what? you ditch the both of us for your love, you give us no credit for our dedication to our friendship. you think you're so adult and mature, and i think that's bullshit. you're the same person, only with a serious boyfriend. someone that should not be a husband to you. rob is wonderful, he makes you feel great. but to marry him after a year? what would you have said if bill and i got engaged after a year? or arden and lou? we felt how you felt. and for being our first love, things change. and i feel so bad for arden because she gets so worked up over this and she shouldnt. shes been the best friend to you and maybe this is more for her than for me. STOP BEING AN ASSHOLE to everyone but rob.
you may be "in love" now. but wait a couple years. you don't think things will change? THEY WILL. and maybe this is an incentive to show us wrong, but goddammit lindsay. where did the real you go? arden and i will wait for you to come back. but when you do, and it's because things didn't work out, i know i don't want you crying to me. arden and i will be the first people to say i told you so.
