Why I'm So Obsessed With Love

I don't need saving but I would sure love to live happily ever after.

Why I'm So Obsessed With Love

I have never really had anyone to look up to when it came to love, and maybe that's why I'm so obsessed with it. The word divorce is a common word used in my family's vocabulary. The type of love I looked up to was in Disney princess movies. Girl falls in love, the guy ends up saving her and they live happily ever after. I am a princess by society's standards, though I consider myself as one. I don't need saving but I would sure love to live happily ever after.

There are so many different forms of love and different types of soulmates. I want and will always crave a romantical love. The type of love where you hear that person's name and it just brings a smile to your face. The type of love where you're with them it feels like home. The type of love where being with that person takes away every type of worry you've ever had. I am well aware that love will not solve every problem but at least I will have someone to conquer the problems with.

A forever type of love seems so magical. Being with someone forever is rare. Maybe I watch too many rom-coms or have seen way too many Nicholas Sparks movies but that's the type of love I want. I'm not talking about screaming in the rain because personally, I don't like to get my hair wet, but you get the idea.

I have a complete understanding that I'm not just going to get this love overnight and that I might meet 90 different guys before I find the one. I also understand that there is a chance that I will never find the one but oh goodness I really hope I do. To have that type of commit to someone and for them to have it for you.
Everyone always wants what they can't have so there is a part of me that is terrified that I want that love so badly because what if I only want it because I'll never get it. It also terrifies me that it's something I have no control over. I have no way of forcing someone to love me and vice versa. You kinda just have to hope that you find the one and you're so lucky if you do.

I'm not obsessed with the twitter posting relationships are the couple accounts on Instagram. I'm obsessed with the relationships where you can genuinely tell they are meant for each other. I can't tell you exactly why I'm so obsessed with the idea of love. It could be because I grew up never seeing it, or because I watched too many movies, or it could simply be that I am a hopeless romantic. I'm sure there is some deep dark inner reason why I'm infatuated but I have no desire to figure out that reason. I'd much rather live with my head in the clouds and my heart leading the way.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
