Was it full moon or red tide last week? Because two of my high school friends and one of my ex got engaged.

Many people believe that life comes with a timeline and that you ought to achieve certain things at a certain age: first kiss, marriage, knowing what you want to be, having kids. But that's not true. Things just happen and nothing ever goes as planned. There's no rush to live. Stand up to what you believe. Don't force things. Because when it's right, it will happen.


The Different Kinds of Love

1. The Comfortable Love
The person who gives us the comfort we need. You love him and you love being with him, but he doesn't light you up inside. It is groundhog day with him every day, but that is fine because you plan on marrying him and have kids with him one day, whenever it will be, because it is what society tells us to do. This is the love that we feel we 'ought to' settle for solely because society make us feel that we are 'at that point in our life'.

2. The Love That Changed You
The person whose love was too good or too bad for us that changed us. The person who challenged your values and ultimately made you decide what you really wanted and what is important to you. It didn't work out because you knew you couldn't compromise.

3. The Toxic Love
The one that made us 'not us'. The love that is immature, selfish, conditional yet contingent. The one whom you once put your life on hold for while he didn't care about you at all. You felt uncomfortable being yourself and he made you feel insignificant- yet you stayed. Everything was about him and never about you. He never fought for you or ask what you wanted. The love that stunts growth and is no different than a drug.

4. The Convenience Love
The one who is there and meet your needs. You love him and care for him like a good friend, but you know that is the most you can love him. Maybe he feels the same or maybe he feels something more, and maybe to him you are also a convenience, but that doesn't matter. You let him into your life because he is 'always just there' and serves a purpose. This love is no more than a stepping stone.

5. The Simple Love
The 'high school crush' where you quietly gush about him and listen to Taylor Swift songs with him in mind. You plan your schedule just so you can bump into him. It doesn't matter what his beliefs and values are. You just like him because he is, so cool. And so nice. And has a cool car.

6. The Love With An Expiry Date
The person you met one summer. You two experienced new and foreign things together and had wonderful memories. It is the love with an expiry date, as you two lived in different places. You called it a fling but you cried when it was over. It's the love that you forget on most days but when you encounter certain things such as hear certain songs it brings back the good memories.

7. The inspirational Love
The person you strive to be the best for. The person who you don't necessary have a reason to love, but you do. The person who you want to build something with together, and the one you fight for. They will make you believe in all the cliches about love. They are your chicken noodle soup on a rainy day. It is the kind of love where you don't know how it happened, it just did.
