"Love Galore" by Isabella C

Love. It is hidden within every single living body on Earth. Everyone experiences it at some point in their life, whether their experience is good or bad. As for me, I never want to let go of that feeling. I would recommend to everyone I know, even my worst enemy. It consumes your body from those little hairs poking out of your head to the bottom of your toes. My experience with love has been varied. Starting from the very beginning inside of my mother's womb, I got more than enough love from my family. I would say that I was blessed with such a loving family. They essentially were my first love. Every. Single. One. Of. Them. They have helped me to become the person that I am today. I am forever grateful for them. Continuing on, in elementary school I would have classmates that I would classify as “my boyfriend” and say, “I love you.” to. Years went by and I realized how juvenile that was of me. Middle school was just an awkward phase for me where I was not focused on boys at all. Things never started getting serious for me in my love relationships until my sophomore year of high school. That was the first time I experienced real love outside of my family. It was unreal. The feelings of butterflies that would start to form in your stomach when seeing their face was so unreal. It really was like a movie. Fortunately, I have had my first love, unfortunately, that love was not love that I was meant to keep in my life. Although that was a bad start to my love life, I was still young. I did not give up. There was still so much hope for me! Month after month would go by and soon enough I was a junior who was 2 months away from being a senior when BOOM, love came around. Officially it was April 20th, 2018. The feeling was invigorating, every inch of my body would be thriving with happiness every single day. Everytime he comes around I feel like glitter. From the small moments such as our tiny picnics or running errands together to our big moments like traveling to Spain together, there is nothing that I would change. It is amazing. One thing to know about love is that there are going to be ups and downs. Not everyday is going to be the same. Love is like a flower, it takes a long time to grow but once it blooms it’s beautiful. People just need to remember to continue to keep watering their flowers. Without water the flower begins to die and eventually diminishes. Overall, love is something that different people have different feelings about. Some love it, some hate it. I recommend to go out and find love today! Just remember to be prepared to work for it sometimes. Love can open new doors to yourself and to others, and without love the world may not be what it is today.
