Nerds and love? Impossible!

It must be luuuuuuuuurve, luuuuuurve, lurrrrve...

Hello and good greetings, fellow bloggers! Today's entry is going to be a little different from the others. :-) I decided that today I would have a talk about me, my boyfriend and-

What!? Did you just say boyfriend?

Yes, I did indeed.

Well... That can't be possible, can it? You're a nerd... Nerds are meant to be #foreveralone and-

Wait just a darned second here! Are you saying that just because someone is a nerd or a geek, they shouldn't be allowed love? Doesn't everybody deserve love?

Well, I suppose they do.. But a geek with a boyfriend or girlfriend!? I'm sure that's, like, illegal or something? I mean, it's utterly repulsive...

Not really... It's no different from an average or popular teenager having somebody! It's part of growing up!

I guess so... But isn't love hard to find when you're so.. You know.. Lame?

I'll have you know that just because we're nerds, we're most certainly not 'lame'! There's somebody out there for everyone, and you have to keep searching until you find them. There's someone that will love you for whatever and whoever you are. Whether you're big or small, fat or thin, bright or dull...

It's all about waiting for the right person to come along who doesn't care if you love maths. The type of person who finds it cute when you trip up in the middle of the zoo, or where the first time you meet you're too embarrassed to say 'hello' and resort to jumping on his back...

Everybody has the right to live young, find people that will raise their self confidence, and someone who will truly show them that they care.

And when you do eventually find that person, you have to hold onto them for as long as you can, knowing that you're lucky to have found someone that appreciates you for who you are.

Many thanks to Jack for allowing me to upload his pictures!

This post may have been a little bit silly and soppy, but I meant every word of it.

Sadly I have many friends who are upcoming 16 and have never kissed somebody or held somebody in that way.

One of the sad things I often hear them say is, "What's wrong with me?"

It hurts me a lot to hear them say this.

I know that we're only young, and you and they have so much time ahead of them to find somebody. And you will! Honest, you will! Even if it's not a life-partner.. Even if it's just a short relationship, a fling even..

You will find someone who will love you for who you are, and it's important you don't give up.

Don't change for anybody, and don't get yourself down.

You are who you are, and someone out there will love you for that.

Keep smiling. 

With all my love,
