Why do people think there is a requirment to be a certain age so you can love? You arn't supposed to control who you love. Love knows no age. I wish it did, no doubt, but it doesn't. The misconception with teenage love is that most relationships are not based on love but lust. Everyone knows we're all developing, and we're having hormonal issues, but just because you get the goosbumps when you see (eneter name here) doesn't mean you're in love.
Good love is so much different then say... Unhealthy love. Which is what most high school relationships are based on. It's when one or both partners are looking at the relationship selfishly and not interested in the other spouses well being. I believe good or healthy love is completely selfless and full of forgivness. And it just so happens that love shouldn't be about the physical aspect...shocking.
I personally want to be so in love that I could go years without seeing that someone and still anticipate their return. I would rather not kiss anyone till I had a husband than to kiss a bunch of people to find the one. He's out there. So just a little advice. You don't have to break your heart throughout growing up to find out what love is. You already have all you need anyway.
Thank you Jesus for giving me stimulating conversations that inspire me to write. You are awesome.
