2.14 ♥♥♥ What is love?

What is love?? A feeling between two people that stretches beyond miles? A feeling that makes your heart pound and your stomach flutter?? Or is it just an unreachable illusion? Love seems like a bunch of let downs all packed into a box. You always like someone who never likes you back. Your fragile heart is ripped into pieces mercilessly. Especially when you get over consumed by looking for love, when its not your time. Love WILL let you down, so just live your life like normal and it will find YOU in time. Personally, the idea of love doesn't seem appealing to me. Love brings problems and doesn't ensure happiness. I could care less about it.
Does true love exist? I don't think there is such thing as true love...the ONLY sign of true love is laying one's life for one's friends. People don't show love for their neighbors. People do everything for their own interests; they are selfish, they love only themselves.
Now lets focus on the concept of Valentine's Day. I think its such a silly day! Why do you have to go out of your way on one day in the whole year! Why not take the time every day, to show your appreciation for someone. Why is there such an obsession with February 14th!! Does it really mean you love someone by giving them flowers (that will die in a few days) or chocolate (that will make the person fat?) In the United States, LOVE is emphasized on Valentine's Day and the romantic aspect but in Latin America, FRIENDSHIP is also included. Hence, dia del amor y la amistad. So on Valentine's Day, what did I do?? Well i went to church, to learn about my real Valentine Jesus, because he won't let me down or hurt me like some guy will. Then i hung out with my loves, my family and friends! At night i went with Stephy and her fabulously fre$h friend Eric to the Block, which was fun! I hadn't been there in forever!! So many people go there! I bought lots of fre$h shirts, WHATUPPPP!! Then we left and went to Birch Street to watch a movie. We WERE gonna watch Valentine's Day with Taylor Lautner, but we decided to go with a more sophisticated film "An Education" which is nominated for best movie. It was a pretty deep movie about a girl who has plans of going to Oxford and gets swept off her feet by a charming older man, and is willing to give up her education. The man in the end, ends up being a fraud who is married. She was able to then focus on her education at Oxford and be happy. So the morale of the story kids is, people and love will let you down, but an education will not!
