Why looks mean NOTHING

Find out the real difference between lust and love

Why looks mean NOTHING

Our bodies are temporary; think of them as cars. They take us places, they allow us to move and experience things. Not a lot of people think about this but one day, our cars will run out of fuel. You couldn't even tempt me with the most physically attractive male walking on this planet as we speak because he'll be dead one day. And I don't want to make out with someone's lifeless lips. I want to make out with someone's immortal soul. I need that everlasting spark for eternity. When we are attracted to people for their exterior appearance, we are committing the egotistical act of lust (which I have been guilty of in the past). Lust is correlated to the eyes and the genitals. Lust says "I want to get you into bed with me". Lust is temporary. Love is correlated to the heart and the seven chakras. Love is unconditional and looks past the outer completely. Love unconditionally says "I accept you for your faults, your imperfections and your insecurities". Love is forever. I think a lot of people don't understand the difference between lust and love. I think that people don't remember that outer appearances fade, but the soul shall always remain. When you leave this earth, your lifeless body of flesh will be left here for the worms to feast upon. But your soul, your true self, will travel upwards to be judged for how beautiful it really was (or wasn't).

Now, that isn't to say that you shouldn't take care of yourself. No one on earth is outwardly ugly! It's all a matter of presenting yourself. If you're overweight, lose weight to be healthy! If you think your teeth are much too crooked, get braces if you like! Have great style but most importantly, have a great attitude and send off good positive vibes into this world with your words, actions and demeanor.

Sure, I'd rather be a Mustang than a Prius, but both cars still have the same type of gas inside. And both cars will turn to dust in the end.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
