When I write I want to write about love,
isn't that what all teenage girls want to write about?
They say write what you know,
and I definitely don't know love.
I know hate, and pain,
I know guilt, pleasure.
I even know despair but love is the one thing I don't know.
I haven't figured love out yet.
All I know right now is it takes time.
It takes two people and you can't force it onto someone.
Love is confusing and wonderful but,
it causes so much pain.
If you care too much you always get hurt.
Why care if you know what will happen in the end?
Why care if you know you are going to leave the relationship?
All things end.
I know this,
yet I still just want to write about love.
I want to create a happily ever after on paper.
That isn't a realistic expectation from me,
it's not true.
Happily ever afters don't happen.
You can't have happiness without the knowledge of sadness
and you can't have sadness without the knowledge of happiness.
They go hand in hand.
No one is ever always happy.
It's okay to be sad,
it's okay for relationships to end,
it's okay to cry.
What matters in the end is how you handle the pain.
What matters is the way you react to others feelings.
If you are compassionate or regardless to others.
The most important thing is that you care
and you love even though you know in the end there will be pain.
You have to let people in even if you don't want to.
Life is what you make it
and if you don't let others in you will be lonely.
You will never get to experience the joy
and love because you are a coward.
You have to overcome the fear in order to live,
in order to love.
