Love rules our life, we all need it for self-fullfilment. It is fun and we are either falling in or out of it. You seem like an outcast if you don't have a girl/boy friend. But before you race to get that "special someone", ask yourself this question, Are you in Love or Lust. So often we get those two confused, for it seems they go both hand in hand. We often get caught up in a persons' physical attraction. We devolp an obbession with their looks and body and fail to see if that person is your type or not, fail to see if what she/he has in common with you. and because of that people wake up one day to discover that they don't quite feel the same way about the person they did a couple weeks ago. We all say we love somebody but do you? If that person does something that would hurt you, like cheating on you or dumping you for a lame reason, would you still fell the same about that person? And most Importantly does that person love you as much as you love them? Lust, many belive, is the reason that high school relationships don't last. At our age, we are just comming into our own and discovering who we really are. Many times, when we enter a relationship, we are not ready for that which leads to break-ups. Remember that true love is hard to find, yet you know it when you find it.
