Notes from the Handphone

Is there really such a thing as love when you're at such an early stage in your life? So as usual there are always two point of views. Yes and No.

The so called more realistic point of view would obviously be no. Because when you are young, the term 'puppy love' is usually assumed and used to describe teenagers who are 'in love'. You are considered too young to even comprehend the meaning, power of love and all of its manifestations. Apparently adults think you haven't been through enough in your lifetime to know what love truly is. Young and stupid they always say.

On the other hand, some argue that love is a feeling and expression so strong that none of us can even begin to control when it happens to us regardless of what age. That you can love someone no matter how old you are and know that it is in fact real love. You could be 80 and still not recognize what love is. You could be married for 25 years and it could be the same case.

So who are adults to tell you that it isn't love? That its just something short of a phase in your life or an infatuation of some sort.

I suppose this is as always one of those things that you can never really define or be sure of. You just have to observe the people around you or go through it yourself. I guess its true when they say the older you are, the wiser you become. You see and experience more things which is always exciting of course and at the same time you learn through your mistakes and shortcomings.

I hope and pray that at the end of my life, I would be able to finally understand the way things run its course. Not why they happen just how they all seem to fall into place. Though for me, i really don't mind just staying young and innocent. Its pure bliss. I'm in absolutely no hurry to grow up :)
