Timetable To Find Love

Is it the same for everyone?

How long does it take to find love?
How long should it take to find love?
Does it take the same time for everyone?

These are the questions I'm sure many of us ask ourselves on a daily basis. Seeing friends find love at your age makes you question, watching shows like "The Bachlorette" and "Are You The One" makes you question and even looking at a happily married couple makes you question. So can there be a definitive answer to our questions?

I think the answer to that is no. Why? Because I think the "timetable" of love is different for everyone and it also depends on the relationship being questioned.

Take a friendship for instance. Love in a friendship can come after a week, month or the most obvious, years of being close friends. That love comes from trust, loyalty, similar interests maybe and other things that make a friendship strong.

Looking at family, these people are known as "our loved ones." So, in a sense we love our family from the time we come into this world.

Now the hardest relationship to judge is one of two people sharing a life and more often than not walking down the aile at some point together.

Speaking from personal experience, I was in a relationship four years ago. We actually said the words "I Love You" to each other on June 29, 2012. By that time, we had been together about three weeks and seen each other almost everyday over the course of that period. We met each other's parents, took a trip to the city, met each other's friends, and just spent time talking and really getting to know each other.

So I'd say love formed between two people can occur at any given time.

Yes, there are factors to love and having it last that takes time, but I believe feeling the love and having the emotion behind the word can come whenever someone feels a connection.

No one can say it happened too fast, because its different for everyone.

Love is not a science and cannot be measured or calculated out.

Love is love and however long it takes you to feel it and say it is up to you!

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.
