Love.

"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get" Forrest Gump once said. Love is like this too. We know that you never know who your ONE is until you meet them, that they will present themselves when the time comes. But they never are what we expect. Every young girl imagines her white knight, how he will look, how he will act, and that he will be PERFECT. In reality, a girl still living in this kind of fantasy world will meet a handsome man, get to know him, think he's perfect, and when he gives the chance, grabs at a big wedding with their perfect man, and then finally sees his flaws, and can't get over that they're not who they thought they were, finally, resulting in divorce. But if a girl can get it into her head that nobody's perfect, nobody's going to be that perfect white knight of their dreams, then maybe, just maybe, they can actually find their ONE. Take a girl, a popular one, who believes she's going to marry a flawless, blond-haired, blue-eyed god, and then meets a very sweet, very kind "nerd", who will truly care for her. But instead, she picks the quarterback, who looks just like the guy of her dreams. And of course, this ends up in ruin. "If only..." she'll think, "If only I had said yes to that 'nerd', who was so kind, so generous..... But it's too late now....." So a warning to all who read this: Don't set your heart on that white knight of fantasy. He'll come, but with many dents in his armor, not flawless like you imagined. And of course, be kind to all, and give ALL love a chance.
