Real Love Means Roughing It

"Each moment of a happy lover's hour is worth an age of dull and common life." - Aphra Behn

"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."- Antoine de Saint-Exupert

Romance without finance is no good.
- Willie The Lion' Smith

Love is the fulfilling of the law.
- Romans

To love her was a liberal education.
- Richard Steele

Love is the most complicated and simple emotion, yet strangely differently interpreted. One thing is clear. Love means compromising not with another, but with yourself. One of my friends fiercely agrues that you shouldn't change for another person. To some extent she is right, but it is also important to morph and change when a person challenges you. My friend Nevada firmly believes that changing is a natural part of life and when you are in love with someone you are more willing to try different things. She is proving this theory the hard way. She has agreed to go camping for four nights with a boy. In my opinion, this blows Shakespeare's feelings on true love to bits. True love means risking the elements, lyme disease, and not showering.
