Well let's see, what is going on with me? Not much really. Rich started working at his new job last week, he works thirds, that is about all of our news. I can't even think of anything to write about..... HA, I just thought of something.

OK What is with kids saying that they LOVE each other? I mean for example, my niece who is 13 has this boyfriend that she's had for I think two weeks or something like that and they are posting to each other, I love you, no I love you...... so on and so forth. I read this and snapped. Not in a mean way but in a Aunt looking out for her niece. They don't even know what love is let alone what the word means. She says, no Aunt Erin I mean Love like a friend. I told her that she better only mean it that way and that she should stop writing things like that. I have had this conversation with her many times before because she "dates" these guys and when she breaks up with them they try the "but I LOVE you" or the " Don't you LOVE me". Seriously people, when I was that age I knew I didn't LOVE any guy that I "dated" and I know that none of them LOVED me. There is no way any 12,13,14,15 year old LOVE each other, they may be infatuated with each other or even care about one another, but they don't LOVE each other. Actually I think that even into your early twenty's you may not really know what love is. Crazy kids. That makes me feel so old. But come on, all guys want is a bit SOUTH of your heart. You know even twenty year old and sometimes thirty year old, that's all they really want.

I read something interesting the other day that I thought was quite insightful. "Guys fall in love or think they are in love because of the feeling they get when they are with that person, so when that feeling fades or changes slightly they start looking for someone else to make them have that feeling again". That is so true. All you can hope for is to never have them lose that feeling. If they do then you are in for a world of pain. Trust me. When I read this it was like an eye opener. WOW I guess there really isn't anything you can do except try your best and if it all works out then great other wise, for lack of better wording right now, your world feels like it is closing in on you and it sucks. Eventually you hope to find the person that not only makes you feel amazing about your self and everything about you, but that also feels that you do the same for him. (or if you are a guy vise versa) I think that is enough insight into my feelings and thoughts now.

Later,
Erin
