While taking shakespeare for one of my lit classes this year, I am coming to a few realizations. 1) I could not have lived back in the 14th and 15th centurys. Women were expected to be submissive to men, and follow their orders. I'm nothing like that. I would have gone crazy if I had lived then. 2) Shakespeare is a funny guy sometimes. You never pay attention to it because in freshman year you just read romeo and juliet, and most teachers don't really talk about the subtle humor there is at parts in it. Rght now in class we are reading a midsummer nights dream, and its hilarious. Everyone is idiots, they keep falling in love with the wrong people, and its just ridiculous. And 3) romeo and juliet is not a romance. Its a tragedy people. Both romeo and juliet were suicidal and in love, then something put them both over the edge (i.e. each others deaths) and then they kill themselves and the play is over. While this may have ended the feud between their families, I highly doubt this was the only way to do it. I know they were deeply in love, but if they were really in love wouldn't they have come to the realization that the other wanted what was best for them before killing themselves? I don't know but I don't think its ultra romantic like a lot of people do.

Love
What does love mean to you? Does being in love mean you feel safe, or that you are just completely overwhelmed with emotion? Does it mean that you can be yourself with that person, or does it mean that you never feel alone when you are with them? What does being in love mean to you?
I don't think that there's really any one right way to love. I think that at any given time, when your in love, you could be feeling all of those things, or other things (like jealousy, or something like that). People tend to get an idea in their heads, that there is this certain feeling that you feel when your in love and that it will just be one of those things or like those things. I don't think that. I think that if your really in love, your going to feel a lot more then just one feeling towards a person. Have you ever seen your parents fight? They get angry at each other, but that doesn't mean that they don't love each other.
It's so complicated dating when your young, because no one knows what they feel for one another, so the relationship is really hard. Sometimes people go to far because they think they love each other and it's okay, and other times, they break up because they get in a fight because one didn't know what they were feeling exactly. Wait until your older to date, it's so much easier. Boys, love, and dating are far to complicated...
