Until about February this year, I always saw dating as just calling someone "Ml/baby/babe" and telling them "Ily" 30 times a day, and though it is that, it is SO MUCH more than just that. My parents didn't want me to date because they knew that's all I saw, but I didn't realize... Now, I've learned that dating is... Unlocking a huge part of yourself, and letting the person you date be the one to unlock it. It's trusting them with your entirety, it's growing a deep emotional, physical, and lastful bond with them. It's not just something that happens like BOOM! I've always been emophilic, so I fall for people fast, and I used to forget what it truly means to bond. I just focused on showing them "love" but what is love without a deep, close, sentimental bond, not only just that, but a two sided bond? I've spent so much of my time dating people who never did actually love me, then admitted it and left me without me even seeing it till it was too late. Dating is more than just pet names and saying I love you. It's a commitment, It's not something meant to be taken casually. It's serious. It's deep. It's good. And it's two sided. At least I figured that part out sooner than later. And right now, I only trust one person with my entirety. He is the ONLY one in my heart. Rant done, bye
