The tough thing about love, is that it interrupts education.
But that’s a long lesson.
Young love is a celebratory occasion.
Enjoy every ounce of it, before you try to outsmart the rationality of a developing prefrontal cortex.
Hopefully love finds you and you grow with it.
This island turns into an army of one. And intellect and rationality become a strict diet unless you remain drunk in the seas of possibilities.
Keep investing in love. It’ll likely leave you broke.
But I gotta hand it to you. You put it all on the line.
But prove to me it’s not just a line in the sand.

I like how you weren’t afraid to take many different directions in the piece, but it made it hard to understand what the focus was between love, young love and then incorporating the isolationist point of view. I would have liked to hear more about the youthful moments when love was first experienced and then after perhaps see the transition to:
Keep investing in love. It’ll likely leave you broke.
Or something along those lines.
That’s a really pretty picture that I wish I could illustrate.
What do you mean? You wish you could illustrate? You are such a good writer!
Young love is something I am not so sure I have words for. But perhaps I will try.
Oh, now I realize what you mean. If I can ask how old are you?
I don’t wish to disclose my age. But I can say that at times, we feel older than we are. And at other times younger.
From my experience, we can regress in age and digress in age. Perhaps someday, love will meet me in match. And when that happens, that may incite love in a new form.
The love and infatuation and crushed of youth were strong emotions. They don’t go away completely. But shift mildly.
Some could argue that life is an expression of love. But love becomes less the focal point, I think as we get older. We might become more engaged in other activities.
It’s always a possibility I suppose. And to search for love alone, does last a lifetime. And could last another lifetime to remain in love.
Thank you. So much. You have give me hope to never give up on the ones I love and cherish the most.
And love is here, you just have to see it.
