Something I struggle with..the meaning of love..
what is love?
Lust is when a person has a strong sexual desire for someone. Love is feeling romantic and most of the time, sexually attracted to someone who is important to you.
How can you make the difference between love and lust ? Love embraces a person as a whole entity. This means that when in love, you feel like seeing the loved one often. You miss that person when you haven't seen him/her for a long time, you care about the things he/she likes or dislikes in life, in general. You want that person to be happy. When you love someone you want him/her close to you and sometimes, it means to express this love within a sexual activity but it can also mean to simply show your affection, your tenderness toward him/her.
When a person lust after someone, it means he/she is mainly interested in having sex with him/her. There is less care about how the other feels in other parts of his/her life. A person who lusts after you will not show a lot of interest in what you do for a living, what are your hobbies, what you like or dislike in general. In lust, the care is concentrated on the sexual pleasure one has.
Love honors, values and seeks the best for the beloved. It focuses on the other person. It's selfless, sacrificial and inseparable from commitment. Lust, on the other hand, seeks to use things or people to meet its needs and gratify its desires. It focuses inward on itself, is inherently selfish, and rejects commitment.
Love with commitment is clearly very expensive and hard work. It requires honor, respect, forgiveness and sacrifice. However it's the road out of the loneliness, suspicion and despair that plagues our culture. If we substitute lust for love we end up with a meaningless sensation which eventually loses its novelty and can never satisfy beyond the physical.
I believe when you fall in love, the feeling is different for everyone. However, i do believe that deep in your heart and in your mind, you'll know for sure when it's true.

Leave your name and:
1. I'll respond with something I like about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll name something we should do together
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me (or just me).
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll leave you a quote that is somehow apropriate to you
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal. You MUST!

It wasn't the old beaten fishing boat that caught my eye, but the name that was on the side of it. You could tell the boat was over 50 years old. There wasn't a spot on the boat that didn't have rust. It had years of decay and was poorly taken care of. It was in pretty bad shape compared to at all the other boats that were on other docks. They weren't new, and not necessarily in the best shape possible, but you could tell this one was a lot older..therefore used a lot more then the other ones. It was set aside from all the other boats, stuffed in the corner of this bay inlet...so no one could see. As if this boat had served its purpose, and was now unwanted. Unattractive from all the rust and decay that was taking over. But the word stuck out. The rust hadn't taken over this part of the boat yet. The boats 'desire' was still strong, past its appearance and age. Life can take a toll on us, but our desires never go away. To some of us, it helps keep us going.

I volunteered to do some work with some elementary kids. It was soo much fun! Thinking back..I thought the schools were so much bigger when I was kid. And how I thought it was soo cool that I had my own locker. haha..it was fun times..
The first kid I was matched with..was Jordan. Of course I had to go with my real name, so I couldn't say anything. But I thought it was pretty cool. He was adorable. We had to plant flowers, and he helped me dig holes. I had one side of the shovel and he had the other. Being around kids was great!
