I believe in true love and passion. I believe in fairy tales and happily-ever-afters. I want the Noah to my Allie from The Notebook or the Jack to my Rose from Titanic. I've seen love fall apart and I've seen it grow larger than life. After all the "puppy love" relationships I've had in the past, I hope to one day find "the one." I hope I find my happy ending and my other half. As wonderful as it is having so much love to give and optimism to spread, there are just as many flaws to being this helpless romantic I am.

Pro: You never give up on love.

No matter how many heartbreaks I may encounter, no matter how many people cut ties with me, I just don't give up. Remembering that I have to go through all the wrong ones to find the right one gives me hope and a never-ending search for true love.

Con: Love that was lost.

There's always going to be "the one that got away." And at the time, it was the most heartbreaking thing I had ever encountered up to the date. Looking back, I realize it just was not meant to be and there are many reasons for that. It was the only thing that ever made me think I would not get my happy ending until things changed.

Pro: You see the best in people.

I have always been one to look past all the negative things about a person and see only the positive. Most people would find this hard to do and see this as a con because many times I get walked all over by people from this. I see it as a pro because I would rather see the love and passion people can have towards others versus the anger and hatred.

Con: Not everyone will treat you how you treat them.

That's just the sad truth about life. The "golden rule" seems to not have been taught to the majority of today's younger generations, resulting in the huge amount of hatred in the world around us.

Pro: You are passionate.

When I love someone, I love them hard and I love them deeply. I believe that everyone has a true love, and hope that everyone finds it. I find myself willing to do so, so much for the people in my life that I love, whether it being a romantic relationship, or one involving friends and family. Passion is not being "clingy," and that's where so many go wrong in relationships. When someone wants to spend time with you, its because they care about you. Not because they're stuck up your butt.

Con: You fall too hard.

Passion is a pro. Having the ability to love someone deeply is a pro. Falling too hard for someone can hurt very badly and can be scary. Wanting love so bad, you sometimes might be blind to the fact that it just might not be mutual, which is a hard truth to face. Being lead on goes hand in hand with falling for someone too hard. When you are lead on, you're thinking its mutual. You consider a future with someone, only to find out that they weren't thinking of you the same way. These are the worst kind of break-ups, but "on to the next one," right?

I'm just waiting for the day that my Prince Charming will sweep me off my feet.
