aww nadine you'll find true love

guys, nadine gave up on true love! That's so sad! I was always like "wow she believes in it so much... i really hope she finds it someday" and nadine was like, you know, that anchor person. I always counted on her having faith in true love, and love at first sight, and making out in the rain... but now she's given up!
so i'm putting my anti v-day sentiments aside to write my own opinion of true love.
i rfer you guys to 1 Corinthians 13 - the whole chapter is good - but here are the points i'm taking. "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not selfseeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
so there's your true love for ya, nardine. It's true that relationships take work, but they also come with rewards. Obviously anything worthwhile is worth paying a price for. In the case of a relationship... i don't know how much of this you'll take to heart, it's hard to really believe stuff when you haven't experienced it for yourself - if you pictured a relationship as this perfect, happy, romantic thing... you're right, that's totally off base. The romantic moments only come along every so often (but they're totally worth it)... but look at that last line. Love always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. It doesn't say love always comes with flowers and candy, love is always easy, love never hurts. Yet the greatest out of faith, love and hope... is love. Think about hope... hope can end in disappointment. Think about faith.. faith can end in despair. And love.. love can end in heartbreak.
but we can't live without hope or faith - those things carry us through.
Nadine, you can't give up on love because it's hard. Of course it's hard. The beautiful clothing is the most expensive =p. Think of it this way.. if it takes so much work and strength and courage to have a true-love relationship.. what must the rewards be like?
hope this helped.
so yeah as you may have guessed, i'm still a firm believer in true love =p it's just a question of finding the right person, and yeah i've proven myself to be TERRIBLE at that so i gotta leave it to God. I trust him more than i trust myself. Guys right now I just want to hide away from everyone, it spooks me how good you all are at reading me. I don't want to admit this to myself, how can i want to admit it to anyone else? must keep busy with work... so busy that there's no time to talk, think, daydream.. must do my best to stay under control here... toria has to stay rational, right? I know no one will understand this.. ask me and i'll explain. =p
