reading about someone's one bold move and stating out in the open about about his love for someone is certainly thought provoking. it is not a bad thing to do, but is it good? i guess it allows you to vent out your thoughts all in one stroke.
personally i feel that 17years of age is still little to start loving someone other than your siblings or parents. yes, it is all that crap again about not being able to provide for one another and the certainty of facing all storms etc. what is love then? to me, love is when you are willing to die to save that persons's life. sounds extreme, but thats how it is for me.
