young girl
-- im 15 and working on growing up. its coming slowly but i think im getting somewhere. my eyes, ears, and mouth want to stay young, and the rest of me wants to grow up. lets say seeing, hearing, and speaking are the three main parts of growing up. well then im stuck little forever. fortunetly all of it reports back to my brain, so im on my way to the world of people two feet taller and two steps ahead. the world of grown-ups.

are there rules to love? -- yes, read any bible passage on love and you get 'rules' (if you can call them that) on love, the way people act and feel when they love someone or something is different so i guess all the little things people do and say when they are in love are 'natural' rules, and now to go away from anything that has sounded scientific or anything of the sorts,
-- no, for any of you who have seen 'the wedding planner': "love is just love", we make it all sorts of things, make up rules about what you should say or do in such and such a situation, ways you should feel, there's quizzes in magazines on 'is it love?', 'do you crush hard?', 'do you know the flirting basics?', 'are you a dating genius or dating challenged?', 'does he like you?', etc., honestlyy: we live by all these little .rules to love. but there arent any. love is one of the few excuse from "practice makes perfect".
"love is just love"

im quiet you know -- instead of making the argument to you, you tell me, am i quiet?

its the perfect time of day -- nighttime is the perfect time of day.
the three best things about nighttime: light (the city is blinking, moon, darkness), silence, and vulnerability

love is amazing because I can't understand it and I'm perfectly content not understanding it... I know God reveals what He sees fit to reveal.
Love... I can see, experience and give it.
i think i lie sometimes when I tell someone I love them. or maybe that's not really what I mean... because i DO love them, but do I /really/ treat them with love? if love isn't selfish, isn't easily provoked to anger... etc etc. than I don't treat them with love all the time.
praise God for His grace.

young... yes. young and blessed to have found God at so young an age.
I'm young and unprepared... except for my God- who is "the one who's gone before me". so therefore... I'm ready.

deja vu. i feel like we've talked about this before, but it's only somewhat in the letter you wrote me. which i loved by the way.

and i think: love is just that deep. i can't really say it anymore than that. it just is. and i agree with you with what you said. you started me on this whole train of thought that i can't exactlly finish - kinda like all my thoughts. incomplete. and thinking will be the death of me i tell you. i definitely think far too much, but i'm always learning so i guess i really do like it.

yeah, so it looks like the week break from all of us did actually do some good. you were saying how you just weren't "thinking" anymore. this certainly changed things. but we need to arrange an official rambling time or something... or else i'll have a dream about us talking together and i'll tell you everything in that instead.

i think we're all quiet sometimes. i was actually thinking about that. how i can be sooooo outgoing sometimes and sooooo quiet sometimes and how i bounce between the extremities. i never really see you being quiet... haha. but you are quiet when you need to be. well except when you get moved during class. but there's one thing for sure: our laughs are loud tara.

i love nighttime too. gwah. you made me in a happy mood, thinking about nighttime and summer.

i miss summer. i was thinking about how much we definitely need to do lots of things this summer. think of what a week did to me... think about the potential of two full months will do to me... gwah.

so i'm definitely in a rambling mood. oh but this is just the setting of thousands of pages of things i have to tell you.

quiet? i guess sometimes... but it's not the shy type of quiet, it's more of the content to listen to others quiet... thats something i just noticed. i envy u for that:)

yeah i agree, what's even better, is when they're shooting stars too, and you're on the beach... with blankets and yeah...

but both are good.

i'd just add, not alone... with someone else

well depends what mood you're in. good sometimes to be alone and good to be with others. but i think that when you're with others. you don't really know that they are there. or at least that's my experience. heh. depends who you're with i guess.

but that brings back memories ;).

i once wrote a thing for new testament on shooting stars and how they've affected my life. and such. and wow that sounds really corny. but i did.

to live in the quiet towns... now... that'd be the day.

tell me, what are the odds you'll actually do any of that stuff more than once a month?

or once a year.

to live in the city and go to the towns every two months or so - that would be it
