A heart is only useful when beating. Any other functions are needlessly draining. But totally essential at the same time.

I won't disclose names, but a friend of mine has been recently feeling very discouraged by the prospect of love, and getting a boyfriend and all of that typical teenager stuff.

Now, I think that dating and a romantic skills are very important to develop while in high school. This is the test-run to life, and love is definitely a very important part of life.

I'm not a die-hard romantic, and most people always undermine my relationship with my boyfriend (who, by the way, I adore.) and don't even bother to think that it will bother me because "he's Conor." It does bother me, and emotionally, he's the summit of everything I feel. Even if I doubt that it's love.

I really do think that it's a beautiful thing to have, though. And, trust me, there's no feeling more beautiful than someone putting their arm around your waist and kissing your forehead when you're feeling less than stellar.

Now, to the girls who can't seem to find the boy, while high school is a good beginning for the types of emotionally-trying relationships that most people will go through in their lives, it doesn't HAVE to be now. Most girls I know who aren't getting themselves out there now are working for more than this town, or this way of life, striving, longing, and working for more than what this meager life has offered them thus far. And to them, I say, KUDOS MAH SISTAHS!

I, however, am not that focused, and am more ruled by my natural animalistic instincts. Because I'm totally into the whole feeling-up-my-waist thing. Haha, no way I would compromise my rep as a good girl on the Internet!

But seriously, if you don't have a boyfriend don't assume it has to do with your physical appearance because everyone is beautiful. YOU, friend I am specifically talking to, are one of the MOST gorgeous girls I have ever seen. You make me feel insecure about my appearance alot because you always look so sexy badass. I digress, though. Boys are also very small-minded at this stage of the time, because, well, their brains are in their pants, and COME ON, I really doubt anybody we go to school with is that well-endowed. ;)

But, to be honest with what I think regarding love-romance:
If I could go back and have no romantic experience and never have been hurt, or be exactly where I am, I'd stay where I am.

FORMSPRING HATER: My boyfriend means the world to me. So STFU.

That totally applied to this, by the way.

Now, good luck my lovelies! XOXO
