I've heard so many things about love and relationships. I could write a book with all that I've ever been told, but the book on what I actually know about love and relationships would be a very small picture book with phrases starting out with, "I think..."
The love I've experienced is not like the movies I watch, not like the novels I read and not even close to how everyone tells me it is supposed to be.
I just don't know what to do.
I sometimes think it would be better if I could go back to a time when love was simpler. When you married cause you had to and not cause you wanted to. When marriages were arranged. When there was no texting or tumblr or facebook as the main means to communicate with your love.
I want to go back to when people wrote letters, and came to your door with flowers before the date, and who met your parents the very first night they took you out.
May be I am just silly and getting worried about nothing, but I think pure love between two people is a dying art.
No one can say "I love you," without sending it in a text first.
No one can have a stable relationship till they declare it on facebook.
No one feels loved unless their pictures on instagram and their statuses are all filled with their lover's name and face.
I don't know what love looks like between me and another individual, but I do want it to be so much more than what I see, what I hear and the little that I know.
