Just recently when I listened to Taylor Swift's song called Fifteen, I thought back of when I was fifteen and my younger years.
Now when it comes to relationship, I am definitely not an expert yet I come back to the words that my mother have told me when I was in my years of knowing everything about love. Ha what I fool I was.
I remember when I was fifteen in my sophomore year in high school, something totally hit me as I take my seat in my biology class. When I left my country, Haiti, I tried to stay in touch with everyone as much as I could and from the lines of mails, I thought that I might have fallen in love with someone who used to be a really close friend of mine. We exchange emails and from then on everything seemed to go well, I felt as if I was climbing stars made of flowers because of this gushy feelings I suddenly had for this young man.
As a silly fifteen year old would do, I started drawing hearts, writing my name and his inside of this powerful hand print heart I have made all around my notebook. Then as I tried it once again, I felt as if something was missing and I felt bad for not reacting to the way I should. This feeling kept on knocking at my door as I get to my junior year in high school. Note that it was a relationship happening in two different countries, for he was in Haiti and I was in Florida. In my junior year I started to grow apart from this relationship because first of all, I felt wrong for being in a a so called relationship at such an age my parents forbid to have a relationship. Second of all as I read between the lines of his email, I couldn't tell whether I was his friend or his girlfriend. In my senior year, I lost control of where this relationship was going because he mentioned celebrating 5 years of relationship with each other. Oh! my gosh, I knew that I should act on it when I kept on getting red lights. Red lights not because he was a bad guy (Believe me, he is definitely not a bad guy) but red lights because I just didn't feel it was right to keep on going in a relationship without telling my parents.
Finally, I decided that it was best for this relationship (a so called one) to come to an end. I felt bad because I didn't really want to break his heart but I had to do what is best for him and for me. At that age I felt as if my only worries were "Who's going to love me" rather than loving myself first and being sure that God had always me first. I had to end it because I wasn't ready and now I take seriously the essentials of what makes a relationship.
He and I we stayed friends, we talk from now and then but I don't think I would ever go back.
And seriously I felt like a prisoner and felt like I was cheating if I made my "Manly" comments on other guys
Remark I said "Manly" comment not flirt.
My friends can not get enough of these jokes :)
Until then
Here's to "True Love"
Main point. Relationships are a big dea

This is so deep. I totally know where you're coming from, though. Relationships are tough, and even though that "love" feeling (the feeling that makes you feel giddy and pretty and smile when you think of him) is nice, we have to remember that there's more to a relationship. And that's when things get hard. :/
