Prologue
Sometimes things aren't always as we perceive them to be. People change
throughout the years of their life. Perhaps it is the fact that when we are young, we feel
something we haven't felt in our whole lives, love. Falling in love as a teenager is
entirely different than falling in love in our adult years. Our feelings are amplified to such
an extreme level, we feel as though anything could push us off the edge. But it is those
feelings that make us so real. Those feelings drive us and make us feel human. Humanity
has this funny way of feeling things. Unlike any other animal, our relationships hit so
many levels before settling themselves to be, love. We may fall in love with someone at
first sight. The moment we see them, we are so captivated by their essence that we cannot
view ourselves ever being apart from them. Or, it could be the exact opposite. We feel
such an intense hatred for that person. But, in the end it was all a ploy; love disguised as
hatred. Love is so crazy like that. It is right in front of us yet we cannot bring ourselves
into the light to view it. As teenagers, we are vulnerable. We are young souls completely
unaware of our feelings, yet they are so powerful, they influence the rest of our existence.
Love enters itself into our lives in any way shape or form.
Whether it's the random stranger you meet on the road, or the one you've been
dreaming of throughout your entire life. It hides itself in nooks and crannies, andtransforms itself into different things. I don't think I'll ever be able to comprehend the
true power of human love; love between friends, family, or a significant other. One
should keep an open mind to the possibilities of where love could be hiding. It is a
possibility that love is right in front of you, yet you are blinded by the frustratingly
captivating character of this person; you feel love, yet it is camouflaged as hatred. Just,
keep an open mind, you never know what could happen next.
