Love.

Author's Note: This is a creative essay I wrote, and the topic I chose was love.

Love is a very interesting thing. It could be looked at in different ways, different perspectives. People have different experiences with love. Some good, some bad, some are just confusing. I won't lie, love is a strange thing.

A way that love is bad is when you have those wonderful heart-breaks. I'm sure most people have had plenty of those. The thing that sucks about it the most is that if you have strong feelings for someone, and then they break your heart, your completely crushed. Now, in movies heartbreaks are so depressing, and all you do is sit around in your room watching love movies and eating chocolate. Which could be true, but it is also a little exaggerating. Yes, people cry or sit around like a zombie for awhile, trying to figure out what they did wrong. They might also watch the movies and eat fatting foods. But, only until reality slaps them in their face, telling them to pull it together. Heartbreaks are not easy, but they make you stronger and more careful; which I would say is a good thing. For your next relationship, your going to have more red lights, and wait longer for 'taking it to the next level.' In which case, if you do get dumped again, you'll still be hurt but it won’t as bad as it was before.

The good thing about love is feeling loved. When you think you've found someone that's right for you, everything they do is sweet. The cute messaging/ conversations, the cute little stuffed animals, cute roses and with every moment you spend with them, you don’t want it to ever end. One of the best things about love is when you think you've found someone you might actually want to spend the rest of your life with, you get this feeling when your with them that makes your feel like you are the most awesome person to have someone that loves you for you. You love how they make you feel good about yourself, instead of all those other jerks that would always put you done. You feel wonderful that you have someone to lean on when your having a bad day. If feels good to you knowing that someone actually cares about you. It makes you feel good that you don’t have to keep wondering if he means it, or if he's lying because you already know the answer.

Love is definitely a interesting thing. People constantly go through it; it just depends on if it’s for the better or worse. Love can either stay with you for the rest of your life or never be there. Love is not something you need its something you want.
