Oh Dakota, I know our love is new. I barely know ya.

I'm in love with you. Are you in love with me too? Those are the last two lines in the A Rocket to the Moon song, Dakota. People don't really notice the lyrics to some songs but I do... And these ones, if you read them, are so very strange. I mean they really tell you about teenage love. You give your heart automatically to a person of whom you are usually just infatuated with, yet assume it's love you are feeling, and of whom you barely know! And the most annoying part is they insist on telling everyone about their love! Bah, you are not in love! You might have a strong liking for them, but you are not in love. Most music these days have to do with some person who is pining after another, wanting them to love them. Love. That's a strong word. And knowing most teenager, myself especially me, they are flighty and change their minds within days. Now I have compiled a list that shows you of our love. Here are some of them.

Those are only a few, and I know you know it! Those are just some of the songs and artists from a playlist my friend made me. I guess She felt I needed inspiration or love, though I don't. I know that I sound really silly, like someone who hasn't been in love so she is bitching about it, but that's not true. If you really think about it, have you ever been in love? Or have you just been infatuated? There is a difference. So there are two words of the day today, LOVE and INFATUATION. Here's the definition for you stupid heads.

LOVE-

The most spectacular,indescribable, deep euphoric feeling for someone.

Love is an incredibly powerful word. When you're in love, you always want to be together, and when you're not, you're thinking about being together because you need that person and without them your life is incomplete.

This love is unconditional affection with no limits or conditions: completely loving someone. It's when you trust the other with your life and when you would do anything for each other. When you love someone you want nothing more than for them to be truly happy no matter what it takes because that's how much you care about them and because their needs come before your own. You hide nothing of yourself and can tell the other anything because you know they accept you just the way you are and vice versa.

It's when they're the last thing you think about before you go to sleep and when they're the first thing you think of when you wake up, the feeling that warms your heart and leaves you overcome by a feeling of serenity. Love involves wanting to show your affection and/or devotion to each other. It's the smile on your face you get when you're thinking about them and miss them.

Love can make you do anything and sacrifice for what will be better in the end. Love is intense,and passionate. Everything seems brighter, happier and more wonderful when you're in love. If you find it, don't let it go.

One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life:

That word is love.

-Sophocles

INFATUATION-

Infatuation consists of people thinking they are in love but when indeed it is just a deep lust or like for another person.

Infatuation sucks.

All-encompassing, gut-wrenching, soul-draining activity that only requires the active involvement of one individual: the obsessor. A second individual is required for the peripheral need of providing the obsessor with an object of needless, unappreciated, possibly unwanted, often unwarranted affection. The second invididual may or may not be aware of his/her peripheral involvement, and may or may not be willing to be peripherally involved: the object's awareness and/or willingness of being an object of desire is of no consequence to the obsessor.

The innocent girl lost her sensibility due to her infatuation with the nice boy, who was in constant denial of the entire situation.

Yeah so I know that today's post is a bit wordy. But I wanted to get my thoughts out there. You might have noticed I have some strong opinions about things. Well a blog is what I do to get my opinions out there, even if no one reads it. So yeah. Now I'm not a hypocrite. When I like a guy, I don't gush about how much I love him. I legitimately say "I am totally INFATUATED with this one guy!" Yeah so it sounds weird but who cares?! I'm a weird girl. Well I'm gonna go now. Here is your pretty picture!
