Young Love



"As much as you love is as much as you hurt." - Britney Spears.

When I love someone, I really love them. It's all or nothing with me when it comes to relationships. I love the feeling of having somebody to love and care for. But I've found with my last couple of relationships that I don't get back what I put in. I realise that I have many flaws as a girlfriend. I am a very jealous and insecure person because my trust has been battered a lot throughout my life, so it takes me a while to warm up to people. And once I let them in, I think sometimes I let down my guard too much, especially when it comes to relationships. And so when that person hurts me, they really hurt me. I think though that jealousy and insecurities are part of young love, because I'm still young and I'm still finding myself, and these are childish qualities. With maturation comes confidence and I think that's part of growing up. But I'm not ready to grow up, not yet. So for now young love is taking me over.
