love, oh why

If love is a universal... if it is something that is recognizable, no matter what age, sex, or ethnicity you are... if love is a constant, and something that people from all across the world could recognize by only a simple definition... Then why do we all interact with love in such different ways?

Why do some have shotgun weddings, while others date for years and years, still uncertain. Why does it push some to kiss, while other choose to wait. Why do some reserve sex for such an occasion, while others reserve say that wonderful "L" word. Why is it that some find a "one and only" that they love, while others change lovers like underwear. Why is it that "true love" is reserved for those who are older (apparently not attainable by 13 year olds), and yet proven false by the same demographic that does the profiling (divorce).

If love is a constant, than why are our interactions with it so relative and varying?

The funny thing about society's view of love is when you try to apply it to the college demographic.

Here, we're at a time in our lives when the "adults" feel we need to be able to explain our entire life plans, but when we bring up love we're "too young to possibly understand" something so complex.

Either you want us to be grown-ups or you don't. It's that simple.
