Currently Listening Hopes and Fears By Keane see related

for small groups testimonies, we have to share a girl story. What the experience was like, what you learned from it, why things happened like they did...

And I don't quite know what to say.

Keep up your practical front, don't cave in to feelings of absolute "true love"? Because even though you may be having the time of your life, and she says that there shouldn't be a practical front, there eventually will be a practical front. So if you lose it yourself, don't expect the other person to never lose it.

As 18 and 19 year olds, no one is who they will be as adults. College is maturation, and changing. Hopefully for the better. But to evaluate each other as finished products, is rather pointless.

So what is the point of a relationship then at this point in time. To enjoy each others company. To have a best friend of the opposite sex. To help each other grow and learn about being a better person. For simple happiness. To have crazy dreams about one day marrying that person and how great life would be at that point. But how can you know if the other person thinks about things like that. You can't.

Dont' ever take things for granted. Communication is key. Actions may speak louder than words, but actions can get misunderstood too.

You shouldn't believe your girlfriend is your best friend or even automatically trust her as your good friend for all eternity. until you're married. Life is not a fairytale. Which is why it is so important to have close guy friends. You can trust them til the end of time.

But you can't give up hope either. Get over the last girl if she can get over you so fast. No matter how hard it is. Everyone has weaknesses...and you can always dwell on them and block out their strengths. Instead, improve and better yourself as a person. Wait for the next girl that you can't stop making eye contact with. And you can just talk hours upon hours without running out of things to say. And your day will always just be brightened by seeing them. And you happen to have a lot of mutual interests so you can go to a lot of events together, and then critique them afterwards. And you're proud of what they accomplish as people, and how well they get along with everyone. And when they smile, something just melts inside you, everytime.
