Keep The Love Going After This Valentine's Day: 13 Decades of Love

Following 13 of the most romantic couples between 1896 and 2012 as well as how much the film industry has evolved in the last 13 decades.

1. "The Kiss" (1896).

"The Kiss" is an 18 second actuality starring May Irwin and John Rice. This short silent clip was actually one of the first kisses recorded on camera and shown to an audience. In the late 1800s, film had just started to take off and many of the moviegoers thought it was odd and rather disturbing to watch. Of course to us today, we don't find onscreen kissing bizarre at all.



2. "A Romance of the Rail" (1903)

"A Romance of the Rail" follows the story of an engaged couple taking a romantic train ride, and end up getting married on it.

3. "Die Puppe" (1919)

A man falls in love with a puppet in this German film "Die Puppe" (The Doll).

4. "Sunrise: A Song Of Two Humans" (1927)

This next silent film is a little eerie. A city woman tries to convince a man to drown his wife and run away with her. Though he decides he better not, this is one romantic scenes between the city woman and farmer.

5. "City Lights" (1931)

A scene from the famous Charlie Chaplin’s (also known as “The Tramp”) "City Lights," where a woman falls in love him, despite being a poor man who is always being picked on.

6. "Gone With The Wind" (1940)

As we finally enter a world filled with sound and colored movies, "Gone With The Wind" was a great romance film in the 1940s. Southern belle Scarlett O’Hara falls in love with a married man, who tells her she “needs kissing, badly.”

7. "Singing In The Rain" (1952)

One of the most romantic, greatly choreographed dances from the musical, "Singing In The Rain."

8. "Breakfast at Tiffany’s" (1961)

Holly and Paul’s first mutual kiss in "Breakfast at Tiffany’s," starring the beautiful Audrey Hepburn.


9. "Love Story" (1970)

"Love Story" (no, not by Taylor Swift) has one of the greatest love quotes that is still used today, “Love means never having to say you’re sorry.”


10. "Say Anything…" (1989)

Cameron Crowe's "Say Anything…" is loved by many. One of the most iconic scenes in the movie is of course the boombox serenade, which has been reenacted in many other films from then on.


11. "The Titanic" (1997)

The famous Jack and Rose duo from "The Titanic," who conquered many horrific obstacles together despite their opposite backgrounds and reoccurring family drama

12. "The Notebook" (2004)

The scene from "The Notebook" where Noah and Allie get stuck in the rain.

13. "Silver Linings Playbook" (2012)

Pat chases Tiffany one last time in "Silver Linings Playbook" after leaving his wife.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
