I am not the perfect girl.
I am not easy, or easy to get ahold of.
I am a challenge, and I make myself that way.
I will not tell you what you want to hear.
I will not give in easily, and let you win.
I am not what most people want in a friend or a girlfriend.
I am nothing like the girls that are never lonely, the girls that always have boyfriends, the girls that have all of the friends in the world.
I am NOTHING like them.
But, I do have one power that many of them do not possess.
I have the power to love with every bit of intensity that I have. I have the power to give and give and give, but rarely ever receive. I have the power to fall in love with new acquaintances almost instantly, even if they will not remember my name the next time I see them. I have the power to drop everything in order to make someone else happy. I have the power to always love, and never hate.
Do you have that power?
Chances are, you don't.
You rush into relationships, emotional or physical, merely because of your own loneliness and desperation. Sure, I have been lonely and desperate, more than you will ever know, but I have NEVER rushed into a relationship on those terms. You allow yourself to be put into these pointless relationships, not because of love, but because you are bored. I will never do this. I am still waiting for the good relationships, because I am convinced they are more than just a band aid for mutual loneliness.
I will only give my heart to those I feel are worth it.
I have so much faith in people, and one of these days, someone is going to have the same faith in me as I do in them.
And that will be the day that I win, and you lose.
Because I never settle unless it's worth it.
I never give in without full faith and trust in that person.
I don't waste my time on people who aren't worth my love.
And because of that, I will be happy.
I will be happy once someone loves me with the same intensity and same amount of heart that I love each and every person I let into my life with.
I may not be perfect, and I may not be the girl that everyone loves automatically, but I have so much love that I am willing to give, and soon, somebody will realize that.

I still mean what I told you that one night over the summer of '08-
we're the girls that will have true love in the end.
I just know it.
You're special Lauren, it's a blessing and a curse.
