I know i'm all over the place here and if you are having trouble following, I apologize. You will be pushed to the limits and stare into the face of danger, if you have to, in order to protect this jewel burried in the depths of your heart from losing it's sparkle. You will be tested in every aspect of the word. It will make abandon all reason, or programing if you will, to achieve your desired position with that person. How does this tie in to all of that? Well, put simply, love makes you do crazy things. Is that selfish? No!!! But the topic of love. I don't want to get married or have kids! (at least not any time soon.) I want to achieve something before all that jazz. I am fighting something that is programed. I could see a wonderful life with her but just not the life I was told to have. I have a girlfriend and like I told you, I adore her.

Why were our parents setting us up for a huge dissapointment? I am only 25 and can tell you it's not going to work out that way. Sounds great, right? I know I'm leaving a lot of stuff out but I think you feel where I'm going with all of this. We will play tennis, have lots of friends, and be part of the P.T.A. We will have these awesome jobs and have family vacations and apparently lose all sense of style. Since I was a young boy I was told I would find a woman that would love me and we would have this wonderful life in this house, with these kids, a dog, yard, and 2 cars. Ok, lets slow down.We will back up a bit here. Sounds f'n complicated dosen't it? It's the one thing everyone wants and all at the same time hates. She drives me nuts! (but I like it) But my friends tell me these stories about the all the crap and how much it sucks and bla bla bla!! How do you know if you are really in love? Is it healthy love? does she love you the same way? Will you stay together? Should you stay together? All these crazy questions. Now don't get me wrong, it's not all butterflies and rainbows. OH yes, Love!! she is brilliant, creative, she makes me laugh, and not to mention how absolutely beautiful I think she is. No matter who you are or were you are, you have a friend that is tossing and turning over all these unanswered questions about love. Not the love topic!! Oh yes, lets get this out of the way and out in the open. The hard part is finding it, and once you have found it you have to perfect it. “I mean, the girl is the best gift any guy can get in the first place.You know the beatles had it right, ' all you need is love'. “I don’t expect a gift to be bought for me,” Shoopman said. Before Valentine’s Day, you can find a stand in the PHS commons where you can purchase chocolate roses and have them delivered on the 14th. Chocolate roses are another great option it hits two birds with one stone. Red roses are the typical flower gift to purchase a single flower is a much more meaningful gift than one might think. “Maybe some flowers, if I really like her.” “I’d probably just get a girl some food,” sophomore Seston Shoopman said. The sweet handmade presents are definitely the way into someone’s heart. But the list is endless, including everything from little trinkets, to a nice dinner, to some arts and crafts. The top three gifts PHS students said to buy for this heart-filled holiday were teddy bears, flowers, or their favorite candy. While Valentine’s Day may not be popular to everyone, buying a good gift is important. “I mean, seriously, you’re only gonna be apart for like 45 minutes… don’t even get me started on Valentine’s Day.” “I don’t like the couples in the hallway,” sophomore Abby Eaton said. Valentine’s Day doesn’t give couples an excuse to be snuggled up in the hallways though a simple hand holding should suffice. “The classics are always good too though, nothing can beat a giant teddy bear.”įebruary 14 is a special day to celebrate your special someone, go all out and get them a nice gift to show your appreciation.

“I love the more authentic homemade gifts,” sophomore Aramonie Brinkerhoff said. The number one ranked Valentine’s Day gift to get is chocolate–I mean, who saw that one coming? While it’s a good gift, some might lean towards a more original gift. Students at PHS need to start looking for the perfect V-day present, but what are the best gifts? Gift shopping can be really easy… if you know what you’re shopping for, that is. The heart shaped decor, overwhelming red, and bundles of gifts to buy are sure to get anyone in the loving spirit. Cupid has made a stop, and his casualties can be seen all around Powell High School.

Must be love on thebrain
