V-Day

"Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter

and my daddy said stay away from Juliet

but you were everything to me

I was begging you please don't go"

-Taylor Swift, Love Story

Love is like a rumor

Everyone talks about it

But no one truly knows

-Anon.

A fool in love makes no sense to me.

I only think you are a fool

if you do not love.

-Anon.

Love is a haunting melody

That I have never mastered

And fear I never will.

-William S. Burroughs

I don't like country music or anyone that comes from the Disney channel, but I do like Taylor Swift's song Love Story. I just think it's refreshing to hear a song that can deal with relationships but not have to talk about sex or violence.

What I like about this song is that it takes a fairy tale and makes it seem real. I wish Romeo would come save me. My favorite line in the song is "We were so young when I first met you" because it shows that even though this song's Romeo&Juliet were in true love, they waited until they were old enough to get married.

I think that young people today act on their every emotion. People get into and out of relationships so often, they can't possibly be serious. I think that if people took more time, like Romeo & Juliet, they would be happier because they'd have healthier and more meaningful relationships.

I always find myself rushing into things and then regretting it. Maybe if I took more time getting to know someone, I would have more succesful relationships. Honestly, I don't reallt date. It just seems kind of silly todate in high school. I don't like to date right now because I think I'm too young and I wouldn't be able to take a relationship seriously. Realizing this has saved me from many wrong choices. I don't think that people stop and think often enough or maybe they'd realize the same thing.

So this Valentine's day, I don't have a date. Instead, I'm spending the day with my family. Tonight I'll most likely go out for coffee or ice cream or something with my friends. My best friends are my support system, so I think it will be nice to go out with them tonight and have a chance to tell them that I love and appreciate them.

Happy Valentine's day to everyone, hope you guys have a great weekend. <3
