Well isn’t this an interesting prompt? I must say, I wasn’t exactly expecting it. You want to know my thoughts on love, eh? Well then dear readers why don’t we dive in.

For all of you just joining, I am a teenager. That isn’t the say I cannot feel love, it’s just to say I haven’t felt it yet. So with this title, comes the information concerning such aspects like my small, two bit town, the fact that I cannot drive alone, and the knowledge that I am not exactly swoon worthy. Why would anyone want to date, let alone set up the opportunity for love to blossom, someone in such a place with useless attributes?

Now I know you all must be thinking, “Well then, why are you writing this?” And that answer is quite simple, really. I have a best friend who I think I might love. It sounds rather stupid when put in those bland terms, but it is true. I’m not exactly sure what this love is, it is different then what you feel for family I know, but that’s about as far as I understand it.

The only thing I know is that it’s been three years, and I’ve loved every minute spent texting, FaceTiming, and hearing her voice. She has some amazing qualities, and a few that are irksome, but for the most part I admire her. She is calm, collected, silly, funny, sweet, protective of those she cares about, nerdy, kind, and understanding.

I like it when she hums on FaceTime, because it means she’s bored, wanting attention, or she just really likes a particular song. When she smiles, her eyes light up and it’s like you’re the only person in her world. Her laugh is infectious. And her beauty, even though she says isn’t there, makes me smile every time.

One thing that I really admire her for though, is her determination. When she sets out to do something, nothing will stop her unless she wants it to. She’s relentless, and strives to be the best. It isn’t always a good thing, but it’s better then it used to be.

One of the things we’ve talked about when we get 16, is dating. Yes, aren’t you shocked? I don’t think it will be that hard. If we can enjoy the simple things together, like laundry, we can enjoy the big things, like a trip together. She remarked the other day that she wanted to do laundry with me. It made me giggle a little, because when I think about it, it sounds sweet. Besides, I could just bury her in clothes and then say that I did my part. I never said it would be boring

So I guess to answer the prompt, I would say that yes, love has to be remade new. I never would have been thought of this a few years ago, but as the months grow on, I’m seeing that’s it true. We change, we adapt, and we persevere.
