The value of "love"
One thing that has surprised me is how quickly some people throw around the word "Love". I've talked to random people on the internet for five minutes about the weather and they suddenly say "I love you". To this I respond "No you don't". I wonder if guys think that that's just what a girl wants to hear. "I love you" is the last thing I want a guy to say, right before he proposes to me, right before we get married, and right before he (or I) dies. I never want to be told "I love you" just because they think that that's what I want to hear.
If love was money then how much money would you have it represent? When people say, "I love you" all the time, every day, to what adds up to many people then doesn't that devalue the worth of their "love"? Sure it would be nice if everyone would love everyone, but is any human really capable of truly loving everyone? If you believe in "one true love" then then answer is no.
But then again there are many kinds of love, there is family love, lover love, friend love, country love etc. So lets stick to the "love" that you tell that person you've been dating for however long. Count up all the people you've told that you love (not family, or friends this is lovers). How many people is it? If hypothetically you valued your love at 1 million dollars and you have told 10 people "I love you" then your "love" is now only worth 100,000 dollars. This is not to say that you love your future loves less than your first loves. It simply means that you value the word "Love" less. But I guess that also depends on what you define love as, and whether or not you say "love" when you really don't mean it.

Made-up insecurities
Why does it seem that the prettier a girl is, the more insecure she is? The prettiest girls I know describe themselves as fat and ugly.
I've attempted to wear make-up before, but I've noticed that it makes me very insecure and very obsessive compulsive. Whenever I do my hair I am always afraid of how it looks. When not in front of a mirror I imagine that my make-up is smeared and that my hair looks ratty. So I just gave up. I don't wear make-up and I don't do my hair, and I've never felt more secure about my appearance. I figure that without make-up I'm alright looking, so if love is even partially blind I have nothing to worry about. I prefer to be myself instead of all made-up.
I've watched many girls obsess over their appearance, everywhere, all the time. It makes me wonder if perhaps many women are also haunted by the feeling that their make-up is smeared and their hair is a mess. Perhaps the prettiest girls are the ones who take the most time on their appearance and are the most obsessive over it. Maybe their looks are only partially their parents, and mostly an outward expression of their own insecurity.
