Falling in Love

Top 5 things that scare me

Clowns
The dark
Falling in love
Losing someone
Death


When two people form a bond together to spend their lives with one another, they are thought to be in love. Love is such a strong word and has a meaning that only those who are in it can explain. So many people think they are in love. But in reality, there is a difference of loving someone and being in love. A lot of times, most people think the next thing after liking someone is love; so love is used a lot more than it should be and also used in the wrong way. It is tough to know when you are in love for sure. So many factors run through your mind questioning your true feelings for this person. It can be a scary thought. Some fear that they may never fall in love. Love is a feeling that comes when you are with that one special person that just makes your heart light up. Some people find love in just a few short months while for others, it takes years to know if they are in love. So don't rush anything in life that may concern love. Also, never settle for the person that you like because the person that you like will leave you for the person that they love. Now I have never been in love but I have witnessed two people falling in love. For instance, my brother Josh went to Penn State main campus and was a part of the forty-eight dance marathon for kids with cancer. He needed a moraler to make sure he didn't sit or sleep or anything. His moraler's name was Becca. These two became very close and eventually started dating. Four years later, my brother proposed on top of the Empire state building. Their relationship took years for them to be sure they were in love but now they are happily married starting their own lives together. Another example is my other brother Matt. He became a teacher at Plum Senior High School the same year I was a freshman. He met Marisa Cicconi on the first day of school. He knew he had something for her so he asked her on a date. It took them six months to realize they were in love and and Matt proposed on June 12, 2007. They were married a on July 19, 2008. I have no idea what love has in store for me. I guess I'll have to wait to find out. I sometimes even think that I may never find love. Everyone is different in how they find love. You can't go searching for it, you have to let it find you.

Haha...the quote "never settle for the person that you like because the person that you like will leave you for the person that they love" made me crack up because it was perfect for your topic. You did a good job relating your topic to real life situations.

I really liked what you wrote. Everything your wrote is so true, especially the part about the difference between loving someone and being in love. I agree with you falling in love is definitely a scary thing. Good use of personal examples too.

You did a very good job with this. I really liked how you put a lot of thought and feelings into what ya wrote. You are so right about never knowing when that right person will just "pop" into your life. Great job girl!

I love words, and what is my favorite word in our language? Love. Why? Because I know not of another word that means as much.

There are many types of love, as detailed in a book by Ethan Fromm called "The Art of Loving," and what you speak of here is romantic love. Although you say you may never find it, you will always be surrounded by motherly love, brotherly love, etc. That is what sustains us, I think.

Anyway, as far as this, it's good. If I had to make recommendations, I would suggest paragraph breaks, because you tackle more than one thing here.

Also, I never heard/seen the word moraler. Is it really a word?

And, I think you meant 48 HOUR . . .

I think you will find love, though, Chelsea--when you aren't looking so hard (as you so astutely point out). I think it's kinda cool that you say you have never been in love yet, because most your age would say they have.

Your heart will light up for someone, I assure you.
