My outlook on love♥

     Now my concept of love may be very different from yours for a couple of different reasons, such as I am a teenager and everyone's experiences are different. Although I feel like I have a good grasp on the idea of it all. Being that I am in high school I see all the girls fall "in love" time and time again, I myself have even been "in love." The saddest part about high school love is it means nothing, not in all cases but most. Girls say I love you because they think they do but they don't even know the full concept of being in love, that means being there for that person at any time putting there needs before yours. Guys usually just say I love you because, well, we know why! Now don't get me wrong this isn't true for everyone, this is just my personal opinion.
     Another thing that I believe influences love today is social media, girls are always in a competition with one another. Clothes , boys and popularity, its in our nature! Today girls post pictures with there boyfriends, tweet about their love life's and post their relationship status everywhere. I personally feel like it affects the single girls because they get the idea that they need someone to feel happy. They look at their friends posts and feel empty. I also feel like we are always looking for love, as soon as we are out of a relationship we immediately look for someone to fill the lost space. Why do we do that to ourselves? Why is it so hard to just be free and young?! In high school it is awful, girls can't be single for a minute, that includes "talking." It's tough though because when you are young and you find someone that makes you happy, you automatically believe it is love.
         That is where I think society is wrong, we are all always searching for love when in reality love isn't supposed to be found. Love is supposed to just happen when you least expect it. Trust me, that kid you want to ask you to prom so badly because you think he is the "one", is probably not the love of your life especially because you barely know the guy and he hasn't even talked to you before. We all expect too much from love, we set too high of standards. Instead of looking for love we should let it find us. If there is one thing those cheesy love movies have taught us, it is to find love when you least expect to.
     So stop looking for the perfect person to fall in love with! Be yourself, do what makes you happy and you will come across a love you won't even realize until you look back on it. Let it all happen on its own, don't set the bar too high. I hope some of you agree with my concept and leave me your thoughts on love in the comments. Remember, let love find you♥
