What Adults Don't Understand
My mom was reading one of the poems of this magazine the other day, and she did something that really irked me. She was reading a poem from the February issue, Nothing Like. When she was finnished reading, she let out a 'humph', like she didn't actually belive that "kids" like us could know what love is yet. Like love is only for responsible adults. Well let me say something right here and right now: By the time you are thirteen, you have probably been in love. There I said it. Now people can argue about it.

i still love th same person
So here I am rambling, trying to make this short. What I am trying to say is that your mother is neither right nor wrong. Just as with anything good life. There are always dangers and consequences to follow behind. We must constantly experiment explore ourselves and learn who we are before we can ever completely understand love. Adults, though they may say they do, never completely understand love. The only time when the journey is complete and we know exactly who we are is before we die. Perhaps that's when the true meaning of love becomes clear. For now everyone just needs to keep an open mind and not forget places they left behind on this journey and the ones we still have yet to visit. Here's my advice. it is only your choice to use it. Love and be loved with an open mind and open heart. Learn who you are, and only change with your own path, not for any other.
