I think love is like the people who inhabit it and it changes and grows over time? That's why the young lovers kissing aren't like the old guys holding hands looking at the ocean.

We're the same people we were when we were five or twenty but we have more expreience, have lived more days. That's the major reasons that parents are in charge of children, it's not that they're "better" or stronger, etc. but because they've lived that many more days and seen and experienced that many more things.

An 11 year old friend of mine was commenting on what kind of car she was going to get when she was grown, what kind of clothes, boys, what she wanted for Christmas, etc. and I tried to explain to her that what she likes now won't necessarily be what she likes then, anymore than what she liked at 5 was what she wants now. . .
