Relationships are rough. Today I found myself wondering how far I would go for my boyfriend. My friend was telling me a story about how she drove herself all the way to Wyoming for her dearly beloveded, to buy him nothing more than illegal fireworks. Another friend once told me she had written down every answer on a test then gave her boyfriend the answer key because he just had to score an A. Many people have extreme stories for the things they do for their significant others and it made me wonder, is that really love? Am I depriving my boyfriend by not showing extreme signs of affection by driving 4 or more hours or helping him cheat? Or perhaps I need to be more affectionate in general, because the couples that are so "in love" seem to be the couples that practically are having sex in the hallway, when I barely give him a kiss and consider holding hands enough PDA for the day. I guess I always thought love could be expressed through simplier things, such as respect, kindness, jokes, teasing, and being there for one another when no one else is. Apparently, times are changing and I am having trouble keeping up with these new socially acceptable norms.
Just a random thought.
