What's Love Gotta Do With It?

I was talking to my mom the other day and we were having a heart to heart, boy are those rare! lol but anyways, we got on the topic of Men. she was explaining to me her feeling about love and how she has been feeling lately towards her boyfriend. I think it was so cute to hear my mom describe these feelings she has about her boyfriend and how she wishes that everyone else feels this feeling as well. I tried to explain to my mom why I think it's impossible to experience that feeling here in college...boys just aren't ready. Now I'm not going to put it all on guys, because girls has their own issues as well. I hate how everyone tries to make excuses about why they can't settle down or just be with one person. The one line that i hate the most is "I like you and I care about you, I'm just not ready". I'm sorry but that's just BS to me. If you have so many feeling for someone, then being with just them shouldn't be a problem. Don't talk about how you feel unless you are for sure. It's not hard to be with just one person. Part of living life means to take risk. It's not always good to play the safe side.

Sitting there listening to her over the phone made me realize that Love shouldn't be something that you are afraid to feel, especially since, so many people enjoy this feeling and it was created by God. Now I know somethings that make you feel good aren't always good for you in the end. Being in Love, means taking some risk and making sure that the feelings are mutual. I've experience Love once in my life and I must say, I enjoyed that can't eat, sleep, or do anything else but think bout that special someone. Even though things didn't work out in the end, I will always have a love for him and those memories that we share. But if Love is what my mom is feeling and what I have felt in the past, I think I can give it another try....someday....
