“Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning.”

"Love is the condition in which the happiness
of another person is essential to your own."
-Robert Heinlein

What is LOVE exactly? I mean, you can say you love a person, but do you really know what you're saying/implying/promising?

Love isn't a word that is taken lightly. However, everyone deserves love, in my opinion.

I have loved, and do love, many people. I love my mom, of course, but not just because she's my mom. She has done so much for me, and every day I see more and more simalarities between us. As I grow up, I see more how my mom has affected me as a person, and I am so thankful for it. I love my dad, too. Even though he's gone a lot with work lately, I see how much he loves what he does, and he really does love me too. I will always be my Daddy's little girl. :) I love my brother, even though he can be annoying and boy like and...well, that's a little brothers' job, right? We get a long better lately, and he really is one of my best friends, even though I want to scream at him a lot of the time.

Okay, so, I love my family, that's a given. But what about my friends? What about relationships? They're all important in anhigh schooler's life, whether or not adults think so or not. Teenagers get the reputation for being naive and flighty, but some of us really do think before we do things. It's just, we have the capacity to love just as much as anyone else in this world does, but we just show it in different ways. Of course, there's exceptions to every rule.

There's different types of love, and all of them imply some sort of promise to a person when you say it to them. There's friendship love, family love, romantic love, puppy love, etc. To every person I love (and every type of love), I fully intend to keep this promise. I will never ever let you down, and I will always put you before myself.
