People lose love ones in many ways other than dating. Anyone can lose a love one through death, divorce, seperation, kidnapping, etc.
"Love as a healing power can operate only on what presents itself to be healed. As long as our wounding remains hidden, it can only fester. "
This is true because as long as love is remaining, then there is no wound located.
When being a relationship, you have something that you want, but it's also something that is so easy to lose.
Maybe people, such as myself, say cute love quotes so it blocks out reality of thay maybe one day, things will not work out.
Cute stuff like, "They say nothing lasts forever. Lets be nothing."
Love quotes, poems, notes, etc are also different ways of expression love other than saying, "i love you" or giving hugs and kisses.
But of course, saying, "i love you"is what really gets the point across. Even if it's just three words, they mean a lot to individuals.
But there many things that people do wrong in this world when being in a relationship.
For example, one person of a couple will say , "i promise to love you forever."but when things end up not working out (break up)
that promise is broken and that promise was therefore, never kept by the one who said it.
The point is, DON'T MAKE PROMISES YOU CAN'T KEEP.

"Any loss is a real wound." said by Earl Hipp.
This source discusses about how individuals feel and act when they lose someone they love.
This feeling isn't only felt by losing a boyfriend or a girlfriend, it can also mean a classmate, a family member, and etc.
If you are a friend of someone that has just loved a lost one, here are some suggestions on what to do in order to help your friend
not feel down. Never assume things because emotions of your friend will vary depending on what's running through their mind.
Be cautious of your friend's actions and thoughts such as big changed in behavior, risky actions, thoughts and talks of suicides, and substance abuse.
Don't bring up the loved one unless if your friend brings it up, but then don't go too far if you're going to discuss about it or rant.
Invite your friend out with your other friends and try go diverge their attention away from the lost loved one.
Or perhaps tell the loved one that was lost that he/she has not gotten over them and have them talk to that person.
No matter what, having a lost loved one talking to you "knocks"out the thought of the love one ignoring you.
You should just show that you care and be very cautious and positive about things. Be honest.
Don't rush trying to make your friend feel better because this feeling never goes away quickly. You must give it some time and space.
Tell your friend that if they ever want to talk about it, talk to you or anyone about it. The longer that individual holds it in, the longer
it will hurt and bother them.
Be the one to be there when a friend or acquaintence needs help.

Notes:
This source talks about how teenage relationships are good and bad.
In this source, it says that teenage relationships are good because it gives you someone to
talk to, feel comfortable around, it's a great experience, and etc, but it is also bad when the individuals go their "seperate ways."
There are some scenarios of what may happen to a couple and a few "tips" not to help you get back with
the loved one, but to continue on in life so you won't be upset everytime you hear your loved one's name.
Most individuals find their first loved one the most important. They tell themselves that, "She or he is the one for me," because they automatically fall inlove with one another.


Questions:
Did you think that your first love was the one?
How come some people have real difficult times moving on? Is it a genetic thing? Or is it just the thoughts that tell them they DON'T want to move on?
Is there a difference between 2 people loving another person?
Ex. Person A loves person B and Person C loves person D. Would the love that person A gives to person B be any different than what person C gives to person D?

teenage love

My topic is on love during through highschool. I guess you could call it "Teenage love".
There are many movies that deal with love such as The Lakehouse and Serendipity and so much more.
There are a lot of relationships going on in highschool and for that period of time while the relationship is going on, both individuals are happy as ever. But when things start to go downhill whether it's your grade differences, your loved one is about to graduate, etc.., you're left with two endings. A happy ending where you remain friends and actually talk and pretend that the break up never happened, or both individuals avoid each other which ends up fooling around with their minds.
The Lakehouse and Serendipity are about 2 individuals who let time and destiny come into play to determine whether they were meant to be or not.
The Lakehouse is about a guy and a girl that live 2 years a part from each other and can only communicate through writing mail and putting it in the same mail box. The girl lived 2 years into the future and the guy lived 2 years in the past. In the beginning of the movie, the guy dies but this was in the girl's time. Every 2 years, they are able to see each other and they quickly fall inlove with each other. The first time the two meet, the girl did not notice that she was dancing and kissing the guy that has been writing to her. The guy did not tell her because in her time 2 years in the future, she had a boyfriend, but.. she didnt like him that much. Also, she might have thought he was extremely drunk or crazy. The girl finds out that it was the guy that she's been writing to that died in the car crash so she tells him and saves his life. Eventually they work around the time between them and in the end, they end up meeting each other again.
I question myself constantly thinking why do people think so much into Highschool relationships when they usually dont work out?
I know for a fact that i DO take highschool relationships seriously and not just for "experience."
Highschool relationships are not bad whatsoever. It allows individuals to be close to another person and express how they feel towards each other. Having a loved one allows an individual to feel warm, comfortable, and just able to speak their minds and be open.
What I wonder is does the love for an individual change as you get older?
For example, would loving someone in highschool say while you're 15 feel different than loving someone when you're 22?
