That thing called love

     So Valentine's Day was a while ago, but love is still a topic I well love. I was very excited about Valentine's Day and everyone else I came in contact with that day was a Debbie the Downer. I was so excited and cheerful, for once, and everyone stole that away from me. That isn't the point to this blog, I'm just saying don't be down on love because you don't personally have someone special in your life. Because I certainly don't have any in my life, just saying.

     Anyways, recently I watched Perks of Being a Wallflower. Oh man is it good. I tried reading the book first, but had to stop because of school at the time and I just haven't picked it back up. Well the narrator is a 15 year old boy who is basically telling about his some-what strange life. It is a very good movie. But the main character Charlie talks to his English teacher, Bill: 

Charlie: Why do nice people choose the wrong people to date? 

Bill:Are we talking about anyone specific?
[Charlie nods] 

Bill: We accept the love we think we deserve. 

Charlie: Can we make them know they deserve more? 

Bill: We can try.

So Charlie is constantly confused, as any teenager is, about love. Later the girl he has fallen in love with, Sam, talk:

Sam: Why do I and everyone I love pick people who treat us like we're nothing?
Charlie: We accept the love we think we deserve.

That quote "We accept the love we think we deserve". Right there is pure truth. We have crappy love lives, no love lives, and anything else we aren't happy with is because we choose what we think we deserve. I'm not saying all love sucks and that no one can choose properly, but when you aren't happy or don't feel like you are being treated as you should --- Change it!
