I
think the difference betwen me and other people is
that most people are "searching for love,"
whereas I think I am searching for "the ability
to love." It is okay to be confused about what
love is. How are you supposed to know what a certain
feeling is if you have never felt it before? I'm
nineteen and I have yet to be "in love"
with anyone. I can't even say that I know what love
is!
I
can say that I have loved someone, but in my
mind there is a difference between "loving"
someone and "being in love" with somone. I
already have a difficult time expressing my feelings.
I am in no hurry to profess my love to somone whom I
may later find out I don't love. There is a pleasant
mystery to looking forward to finding that person who
is going to challenge and complete me in every way.
It
is important not to rush any stage of your life.
Enjoy the present, enjoy the mystery involved in
waiting to experience your "firsts." Enjoy
the questions and confusion. In other words, enjoy
your innocence because when it's gone you will long
for it. And remember that you are not alone: I'm
nineteen and I still have no idea what love is!
