LOVE

an intense feeling of deep affection
What is "LOVE"?
Do we say "LOVE" because we like someone?
Do we say "LOVE" because we want someone to know we care? Or Do we say "Love" because we feel as though it's the right thing to say at the moment?
Love is supposed to be a bond with TRUST. To be able to know that another living, breathing human-being is there for you through your ups and downs and beautiful enough to have someone caring, sharing, joyful, and faith to fulfilling levels as yours!
TALKING
/ˈtôkiNG/
The stage between being friends and being in a relationship. T

and get to know each other. It's just them but they are not talking to other people
RELATIONSHIP
/rəˈlāSH(ə)nˌSHip/
Two or more people connected.
Being with someone who motivates you, inspires you, believes in you, loves you, and strengthens you.
Love is never what it seems to be but to be able to make it, what it's meant to be.
Let me tell you guys about a couple named Anthony and Bianca...
There's this girl named Bianca who met a guy back in 2010. We’ll call him Anthony. She was 11 and he was 12. Anthony would always try to talk to Bianca through a family member but she would never pay him any mind. In 2012, Bianca’s church held a trip for everyone to go to the Poconos. She decided to go with her cousins Ashley and Nikky. While Bianca was there she noticed another one of her family members was there, named KJ. He was there with Anthony; at that moment KJ walked over to Bianca and told her, "Anthony likes you". Bianca really didn’t think of anything at the moment but after that, it would be awkward every time Bianca and Anthony saw each other.
Years went by and they finally became friends but Bianca didn’t want to talk to Anthony or jump into a relationship with him because once they became friends she realized how he was with females. He definitely seemed like the “player” type and that’s what she first assumed about him. Years went by and Bianca finally tried talking to him but it never worked out so they would always go back to being just friends. Sometimes, Bianca would realize that he would be in a relationship with different girls but still tell her he likes her. He was young so it was understanding. Bianca would always tell him he has to prove himself, he shouldn’t be telling her this while he’s in a relationship.
In May, Bianca went to church one Friday and Anthony saw her. He was shocked to see that she was there because she was living out of the country for a while. He didn’t say much to her until after church. Bianca told him she was graduating high school soon and he should come to her Graduation Party. Bianca’s graduation party took place not too far away from his house and church so of course, he came. She didn’t expect him to come but once he did she felt as though he was trying to make it seem as though they were a couple. Bianca was totally fine with that since she was single at the time but she just wasn’t understanding. The next day, Bianca invited him to her Aunt’s housewarming party. He picked her up and as they were on our way there, they talked. He told her he wanted “this” to go somewhere and Bianca was with it. That very moment, they started “talking” and spent a lot of time with each other before she left for school. At first, Bianca wasn’t feeling it but then she realized she started to become attached to him. He was always there for her, always doing things for her and she appreciated that.
Finally, it was time for Bianca to leave for school in August. He drove 4 hours up to her school and helped her get settled in and stayed with her for that weekend to make sure she was okay. That same day is when they actually made it official. It was hard being though they were 4 hours away from each other but since he was deciding on attending Penn State Main Campus (which is an hour away from her school) before they started talking, they figured everything would be okay. Anthony always made his way to go see her when he had the chance. Every time she would see him, she became even attached. Bianca thought this was her very first REAL relationship at the time just because she actually got chances to see him, they bonded, he met her family and they approved of him, especially her mom. Even though they would post each other on social media looking happy didn’t mean much, they had their own problems, they had relationship problems. Trust me, Bianca was more than happy at one point. After a few months, everything went downhill, SEE relationships comes with arguing but that doesn’t mean give up when times get hard. If you truly love someone, you are going to do whatever it takes to fight for your relationship.
For Break, Bianca went to visit her family outside of the country. Anthony and Bianca's relationship was already considered a long-distance relationship when she was at school. She thought everything would be fine between them while she was over there. Maybe, people just don’t know how to act when you're not around. Anthony became distant and always had a nonchalant attitude which Bianca was confused on why or where it came from. Bianca, being the caring person she is, talked to Anthony and told him how she felt about the way he was acting. He didn’t seem to care but she still tried. Christmas comes, and he’s on social media talking to a girl that he met at another church which Bianca didn’t like. Bianca admitted she can be the jealous type sometimes but Anthony was friendly, he was the type that had more female friends than male friends. Bianca allowed Anthony and the girl to continue to talk for a bit but after a while, she wasn’t feeling it so she told him to stop. He didn’t like that, he asked for the girl number and they began texting. Bianca didn’t trip, she just let it be since they were JUST friends. Anthony decided to tell Bianca the next day that he wanted time to his self, to get his self together since he was so focused on her during the summer and the beginning of the semester, he wasn’t getting done what he needed to get done. Since Bianca was confused, she wasn’t accepting the fact that he wanted her to leave him alone for the moment
Bianca was getting fed up so she decided to break up with Anthony. He was not accepting that but bought up them two going on a break but Bianca wasn’t feeling that either. She felt as though that gives you two the opportunity to get to know other people and you then decide if you want the new person or the person you supposedly care about and love. Bianca told Anthony she would give him his space but yet she was still clueless. She didn’t know where they stood or what was going to happen within the next week. There was no closure nor communication. She realized he was lying about some things and spending time talking to the one girl he started texting. Meanwhile, Anthony was leading Bianca on, telling her he still wanted to be with her but he still needed space. Days went by, Anthony began making up lies making it seem as though Bianca was the bad guy and he did absolutely nothing. Anthony told her nothing was going on with him and the girl when she had proof. He decided to tell her that he didn’t want to be with anyone at the moment and stopped communicating with the girl but still had Bianca on a leash as he was doing him.
Bianca realized she became depressed and hurt. Anthony didn’t care, and that was okay. He finally told her the truth after they broke up. Bianca’s family and friends, especially Anthony’s friends helped her get through the whole situation. It was hard for her because Bianca and Anthony were always together, she got attached, she actually cared about him, and loved him. Bianca didn’t want to accept the fact that he basically was choosinga female that he only liked and just met over someone that he supposedly loved just because “she has her life together” when in reality she doesn’t and neither does he. It didn’t make sense to Bianca but after days and weeks of him calling her, they would talk as if they were friends, it was cool for the moment. It was hard for Bianca to just block him out of her life and delete everything of his so she was glad he finally stopped calling. Bianca is the type of girl who has a lot going for herself such as: being a full-time college student, having her own company with an actual job and so on. She didn't worry too much at that point but she finally realized there's no point in waiting for someone who is is showing theirtruecolors. There's no point in waiting for someone when that one person you thought you could see yourself with for a while is doing them. She finally realized it was time for her to MOVE ON!
Moral of the story Bianca learned so many lessons from this.If someone actually wanted to be with you and be apart of your life they would make an effort to do so. If someone is showing that they don’t care about you or the relationship, believe them.Someone who wanted to grow and be with you for a very long time wouldn’t listen to you talk about your past relationships, tell you they would never put you through the things you have been through then end up doing something similar. You never know how someone truly is until you actually get to know them and spend time with them. If you constantly have to tell someone the same exact thing about how you feel and they don’t change it, accept the fact that they don’t respect you.I learned that being selfish isn't always a bad thing and you should never rush things. From this lesson, I learned to put myself first instead of other people and never dismiss the first RED flag.
Everything is never as what it seems to be. Some people may see you smiling but inside your really hurting, no one will never know. You can be with someone who seems like a good person but in reality, they aren’t. People may honestly think your in a healthy relationship, but they'll never know you guys have up and downs then everything can go downhill.
I wrote this blog because I live in a generation where females tend to be hurt each day due to relationships! I experienced a relationship where I was "in love" and hurt by the person I thought I could see myself with for a long time. The worst feeling is feeling like your not doing your job to keep someone happy, or your lost, confused and hurt. Therefore, females can read my blog and possibly understand the same experiences and learn from it. I can help guide those who are in the same situation through the steps I took to get over what was once a fantasy and now is a fairytale!
"There is a difference between someone who wants you and someone who would do anything to keep you. Remember that."
