Love a four letter word with a million
meanings. I can’t help but get lost in definitions of love ever since I was a
kid I always wanted to know what the true meaning of this four letter word
really means. Is it posting a Instagram picture telling the world that you met
your true love in the 7th grade? Is it making out by the MPR in 11th grade? or
is it really putting your heart in a girl and getting friend zoned? Whatever
the case may be, I think everyone has their own definition of love. This makes
me think, i’m surrounded by so called “love” but is it really love? This isn’t
to make everyone feel like what they feel like isn’t love, but just to make you
think and really find your true definition. Love is only a word until someone
or something can give it meaning. Is it waiting for your prince charming to
ride up on a stallion and slay the mighty dragon just to ask you on a date, or
are you waiting to experience a feeling you never felt before? I wouldn’t know
because I don’t know your situation but what I do know is that the average
lifespan of a human is around 82 years old. Considering the most of us are 17
plus or minus. Your missing out on 65 good years to maybe find something or
someone else you love. Not just another human either, maybe a passion for art
takes you to Italy to have your own renaissance, or a passion for soccer takes
you to Spain to watch a Barcelona game at the Camp Nou. Maybe love means to
experience everything and anything with something to a point you can’t live
without it. Whatever your meaning is all I can say really now is.... I’m lost
in love.
good point. I think at our age most of us are still "lost in love." Be careful of redundancy. I got a little bogged down in wordage a couple of times. Thank you for voicing what is on most of our minds.
ReplyDeleteWow! This piece has really got me thinking now. After reading this, I have a new perspective about the whole love thing... Well done! Great piece.
ReplyDeleteIf you are Catholic, love is trying to get another person into heaven, is not my definition but I thought is a pretty good one to say.
ReplyDeleteWhat is love? WHAT IS LIFE? SO MANY QUESTIONS! AGHHHHHH! Great story. You really showed a different meaning to the word "love."
ReplyDeleteI get that you are saying that love is blind that is it is confusing at first, but you understand it later. Its very hard to find the mes=aning of love. Good job!!
ReplyDeleteI love the message that love is so complex even to the point that everyone potentially sees it or experiences it differently. Great thought provoking piece!
ReplyDeletegreat job ! :)
ReplyDeleteYour piece was different from what I originally thought I would be. At first I thought that it might be about your experience with love but then you ended up writing about the complexity behind the definition of love. It was interesting to read and after reading this I believe that everyone is lost in love whatever form that may be. My only concer was that as I was reading this, it seemed a bit rushed and there were grammatical error that needed to be addressed. Overall I had fun reading your work. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your piece because of the way you view love. Everyone has their own interpretation of it and the way you described it allows your audience to reflect and think about how they view love as well. The language you used is very smooth and I found myself agreeing with a lot of what you were saying. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteI like this story because their is not a true definition of LOVE. It can be anything... Great job (:

Wow! That piece is so profound and really made me think. I enjoyed how you broke down the thoughts of what people may consider what love is. It truly makes you wonder and evaluate for yourself what you think love is. However, like you said every person has their own interpretation. Great Job.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree that Love is whatever you want it to mean. I'm really glad that you wrote about also loving something. I fall in love with things more than people. Not necessarily materialistic things either.
ReplyDeleteAnyways well abstract piece!
Great piece, you have me thinking about "love".
ReplyDeleteGood job with the love theme...however I feel you went off on a tangent when you tried to list examples of love.
ReplyDeletethis piece is very interesting and i agree love could mean a million different things great work! :)
ReplyDeleteI wholeheartedly agree that this is something people themselves have to give meaning to. We're ~17 years in, thanks for the reminder :P
ReplyDeleteInteresting piece. I like that you opened the definition of love past what we tend to focus on, especially at our age. The technical aspects could use some work, but you did a fantastic job thinking deeply.
ReplyDeleteThis a very excellent piece. I really like your choice of words and giving examples. Great job

this was such an interesting take on a word we hear so often. it was very interesting to read as well! good job!
ReplyDeleteReading this got me thinking the different types of love people go through, whether it's for someone or something. Being only 15, I don't know what love means to myself yet even though I toss the word around sometime. The only love I feel is toward my family and for softball but that's really it. Overall great piece, you hooked me in and I really enjoyed reading it.
ReplyDeleteThis was a great piece love can be described in so many ways and us teenagers don't really know what the true meaning of love is towards one another it was very well written great job!! ~Isabella Torres
ReplyDeleteI loved this. It reminded me of this song, "Love Is You" I really enjoyed reading this because of how personal and honest it is. Great job!
ReplyDeleteVery good piece! You explained thoroughly what the word "love" means to you!
ReplyDeleteI loved your perspective on how love doesnt have restrictions. The research and connections to social media and high school were appreciated details
ReplyDeleteI really liked the topic you wrote on writing about! It's very written and very interesting. I'm also confused and lost on loving myself and the idea of love, Great Job on your abstract idea piece !
ReplyDeletethis is a cool piece and i get it but good job.
ReplyDeleteI like how you started on the definition of love, and then the fantasy part, and then blam reality, it's really well structured.
ReplyDeleteI loved this! I'm not in love, and im actually with you on being stuck in the same boat of being confused on what love is. I really liked this story because it made me think twice on what I think love is. Great job.
ReplyDeleteLovely piece! Even though there are a couple grammar errors it's pretty good, and it has a nice tone to it! Maybe you could string your ideas together a little better, but other than that, it is good!
ReplyDeletei like how you broke it down in your own perspective and didn't attempt to give love a title. because you are absolutely correct love is all different types of things and its so different depending on the person. but personally i love your view on it and agree 100%
ReplyDeleteLove is a tough one. The only thing that i am certain about loving is the drums. Ive been lost in love once And let me tell you it was hard getting oUt. Great job!
ReplyDeleteloved it, it was amazing and i liked how you said that you can love anything that you do not have to love a person to know what love is because i think that is true you did a great job
ReplyDelete- Diamend De Silva
I love this entry and it gives meaning to love other than loving another person which isn't done very often. Great job.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's just me, but I get what you're saying, about being lost in love. This piece, it's so relevant to today's generation because we're all a bit lost in love. Not the actual love itself but the meaning of it, and whether we're feeling the feeling or not. The topic evokes emotions and questions which demands to be answered, accept, we're just lost in love, right?
ReplyDeleteI like how you believe that we shouldn't give up on love because we have all of our lives to discover it! Yes we are lost in love right now because us teens don't know what we want but what the future holds for us is true love. Nice imagery.
ReplyDeleteChris, I love this! This was such a great piece, with awesome word choice! This was a great topic to write on, since most of us are so eager to find love right away. It reminds us that we don't need to grow up so fast, and that in the meantime, we can find out what true love really is. Awesome job!
ReplyDeleteWhen I read this I think of the novel we just finished reading "The Stranger," that people are different and its okay to question things like words or people. Some people view certain things differently and we can't do anything about it. But just learn to live with it.
ReplyDeleteWow I really like this and all of the comparisons you made. This is really nice and i truly believe true love will find all of us in the end. Very sweet piece. loved the flow of it, good job! :-)

ReplyDeletei can totally relate you keep doing what your it is great.
ReplyDeleteI thought that this was a really unique take on love and a nice perspective on this idea
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love (haha!) this. Did you know that there are three words to express love in Japanese? There's the typical daisuki, which you use to describe familial love or friendship or the fact that you love something. Then there's aishiteru, which you use for your significant other. And finally, there's koshiteru, which you use to express love to the one you one to spend the rest of your life with.
ReplyDeleteJust a little input, since it's all I've been thinking about as I read your piece. Great work!
Love is a mysterious to some and completely understood by others, there are even some who fall in between. most want to figure it all out and others who don't care at all what it is
ReplyDeleteThis is really good yo' and yeah I know a lot of teenagers question what love really is, but honestly I think everyone will know when they've fallen in love. Whether it be an inanimate object or not.

ReplyDeleteI must say I thoroughly enjoyed this piece, the language was simple and straight forward and made the tricky subject seem a little easier
ReplyDeleteThis shows exactly how it feels to be literally lost in love. specifically trying to figure out what love is and trying to find out if it is true.
ReplyDeletei have a similar standpoint as of now, i relate to this so much -hunter guidubaldi
ReplyDeleteLove has a unique nature that is presented well. It covers aspects that i never really thought about. I can relate to this. Good job.
