		<description>I can&#039;t stay in love, haha. My biggest crush was my first and last boyfriend, and we only went out for a year and two months, while I had been thinking of breaking up since after eight months... and all my friends have crushes and i can&#039;t keep mine! haha, maybe its just because i&#039;m so young</description>

		<description>&quot;You&#039;re so pretty.  Would you stand beside me?
Maybe they will think I&#039;m beautiful like you.
You&#039;re so pretty.  Would you lay down by me?
Maybe you could help me feel beautiful too.
Maybe we could understand each other.
Maybe we could finally feel in love.
Maybe we could...
Maybe we could...
Maybe we could finally feel okay.&quot;

I fall in love a thousand times a day, but really I&#039;m just trying to find a reason to love myself.</description>

		<description>Sounds like Paul Simon, &quot;Something So Right.&quot;

&quot;When something goes wrong, I&#039;m the first to admit it.
I&#039;m the first to admit it--and the last one to know.&quot;</description>

		<description>My ma is overly emotional and calls herself &#039;passionate&#039;. ha:P

But then, how many people have the guts to blame themselves, or else, to point at real faults of theirs as a cause? 

Not me! I have too much faith in myself as a good human being, and even if I did it would be privately, and not to the rest of the world.</description>

		<description>Although I don&#039;t let myself admit it, I find this to be my problem as well. And yet, I still don&#039;t think I&#039;ve done enough for them, provided enough. Loved enough. It just never seems to be enough. 

And I take all the pain and criticism they throw back. I guess that once you love somebody, you&#039;ll stick by them, no matter what. I know I would. 

Being IN love, however, is a totally different matter for me. I get a crush on every other good-looking guy that so much as looks at me twice. Although, my standards pretty high, so that complicates things somewhat. I pick appart every flaw, disect inch by inch, until all that&#039;s left are skeletons in the cupboard. So there&#039;s never been any progression past the &#039;crush&#039; stage. 
[but I do have 2 guy friends that I love- in the platonic sense- and will love, forever]

Sometimes I think I&#039;m flawed, but aren&#039;t we all? We wouldn&#039;t be human otherwise.</description>

		<description>Alright, that is true, nobody did say anything about quickly. I was more so summing up my response then actually referring directly to the post. Although, it&#039;s not so easy to fall in love, either. Not for all, but for many.

And I was stating why it is that we easily fall in love. We easily fall in love with the feelings associated with it, as listed before. Sometimes we don&#039;t pay attention to who the actual person is who is distributing this attention and these feelings. Really, what I mean to say is that love is just one big confusing ball of mess! And pretty much everyone knows that. Rationalizing it is impossible.

Yes, if you fall in love often, chances are you do get your heart broken often. Or you do the heartbreaking, but that also has some hefty repercussions.</description>

		<description>I meant the sort of love that is not an emotion but a way of being. Wanting the best for that person, wanting to help them be who they are, and just getting a charge out of their existing in the world. Real love has to be built on mutual respect and admiration as well as understanding. The physical part exists, but unless it&#039;s solidly grounded in the spiritual side, it doesn&#039;t last. If it is, it lasts a lot longer than people would think.

Peaceful understannding, patience and joy in existing together IS a part of love. A large important part.</description>

		<description>I often feel the same way. In fact i&#039;m doing a project right now on &lt;i&gt;The Giving Tree&lt;/i&gt; by Shel Silverstein, which is all about this sort of thing.</description>
