1. What does love mean to you?

Love is when you have a close relationship with someone (it can be anyone, like your family, friends, or girl/boyfriend) and come to an understanding with one another. But if your talking about the boy/girl relationships, they are when you care a lot about one another, that you would do anything to make them happy without any benefits. But i suggest that you guys wait for that, because relationships can be hard,because i know from my experiences back in highschool and even now. They take a lot out of your time, money, and a lot of times they take away your focus of more important things in life. It really isn't a walk in the park, or a very instand magical thing that happens, like many like to believe.

2. Do you think that love has its limitations?

If it is the right kind of love, then no. This love that I am talking about is the love that you share with friends and famliy. But sometimes the love that you share with a boy or girl may be wrong. Don't get me the worng way, but there are really good healthy relationships between boys and girls, but it's a wrong kind of love when someone is getting hurt, mentally, physically, or even spiritually. There are limits if your love is only one sided, if it is an abusive love, and if the love relationship is taking you down a road where you shouldn't or don't want to go.

3. Can you describe how it feels when you feel the feelings of love?

When I feel love, it seems like nothing can bring me down. I had gone to baic training recently, and during those six months away from home, i felt pretty bummed. But what brought me back up was not only the love from the ones that i cared about, but also the love i had for what i was doing. When i was young, and for as long as i can remember, i had always wanted to be a part of the U.S. Military, serving my country. I know that it seems like a strange dream to have, but everyone is different.

4. Do you feel that different people (genders, age groups, ethnic groups, etc…) see love from a different perspective?

I really do think that people think differently, i know that my views have changed over time. When I was in highschool, all i wanted to do was be with my girlfriend and not go to class, maybe even ditch and just go to the beach. But through those choices that i made, i realized that what i was doing wasn't going to help me with anything. So as I got older i learned that there were different kinds of love that got me going to places I never imagined I would go. I had gotten into many sports like track, cross-country, wrestling, etc. I had also gotten into so many different clubs. And now, i feel that in a love realtionship, you should share your opinions, respect, understanding, effort, responsibilities, and of course your feelings.
