Solitude

Categories Of Love

I'm young, I don't really know much. I don't know how the world works or how to pay my taxes or apply to college. I've matured through the trauma and spending my time around older people instead of people my own age. Through their words and my own experiences, I've come to think that love is divided into 4 separate categories.

One for animals, friends, family and lovers.

I've been with my 'wife' for three years now and she has many many animals. I know that for a fact, she will love her animals way more than she's every going to love me. She's an animal person and I think that on a social basis, as much as she loves me too, her animals will always come first. She connects with them better than she could connect to anyone else.

Im only 16 and I'm starting to accept the fact that I am a social creature. I like talking to people, getting to know them, laugh with them and love them. I have loved many people before the group of friends that I have now. I still love the few people in the past, for they go to my school and If we have classes together we'll talk, feeling just like old times. I plan on loving my group of friends that I have now for a very long time, because I haven't had a good friend group in awhile and I know that in the future I will make more friends. I will love them too, as much as I can.

Love is different when it comes to family. No one will ever love you the same way your family loves you. at the end of the day, they're the only ones that love you unconditionally and for who you are. Some may disagree, but I'd have to say that for most people, this would have to be true.

Now for the lovers category, I'd have to say that everyone gets one or maybe two. Three, if you're a very very lucky person. You'd have your first love when you are young, naive and full of hopes and desires. The second when you're a little older, not as naive and the scars of your first loved have finally mended over. Maybe the second will be the one and if not, If you're lucky, you'll get a third.

I'm young, I don't really know much but... this is what I've come to believe is true.
