I have been writing in a journal on an almost-daily basis since I was 17 years old. This is a record of me going through each entry from the beginning, and commenting on the me from fifteen years ago.

They say onto us that young love is silly. It’s simply over-active hormones trying desperately to latch on to the first to come along. For the young to say they are in love is meaningless because they have yet to experience. I say unto them that when it comes to love I act younger than I am. Were it love, gladly would I latch upon someone, even if I loved the ‘first one.’ And I’ve never experienced anything like love, If I had the choice, I’d experience nothing but love. No one can lay down the laws of love, I hope those that do realize that they will die wondering it’s true meaning.

Hey, I’m going to agree with you one hundred percent that love makes you act younger, and feel younger. I will even go with you on the notion that if I could only experience one feeling, it would be love. But I’m telling ya, you should date around before you settle down with the first girl that comes along. People who are married to the first and only girlfriend they ever had creep me out.
