But I digress. xD I fell head over heels for a guy a little over a year ago, and it drove me to near insanity. The relationship would've been inappropriate (he's over twice my age...), so it's something I could never pursue. The fact that he was much older really hit me in the face, because I realized I couldn't control my emotions very well and above all, I couldn't control who I fell for. He was just so...I can't describe it really, but I live in a rural area and everyone here is...less than desirable. He was a diamond in the rough, so to speak. It haunted me so horribly I'd have nervous breakdowns a lot and I couldn't even say his name without feeling horrible for a bit. I just have recently gotten over it (for the most part). :(

But I still would really like a significant other. It can make you feel absolutely horrible, but it's a pain you want again and again. But I'm really sensitive and I don't think I can handle a break up in all honesty. The thing with the older guy made me feel the worst I've ever felt, and we didn't even date or get to be "truly" in love, so I cringe at the thought of breaking up with someone who I did get to know and love.

Either way, I'm a hoe and jump from man to man either way. u laugh but it tru Currently in love with James Van Der Beek (who is also twice my age, I think I have some sort of a complex for older men). He's 2hot4me. <3

Spoiler:
Corey brings up an interesting point. Different types of love. While I dont personally consider unrequited love real love. I have felt love for someone that never really blossomed. In the end I felt like it was misguided lust I felt.

To me, Love in this aspect can really only be understood in a relationship. This is something that not everyone has experienced and it isnt something that you feel right off the bat. Love is a process that goes beyond Lust. Which I fell like Corey is describing above. Its being their in the very worst and the very best of your partners. I say people really only know love when they are without. Everyone can be happy and feel great. So new love is kind of generic. Its in the moments of heartache and sadness that you can tell the difference between love and well all the other relationships you had that were not love.
