Butterflies

We're never sure if it's due to an empty stomach or maybe that fish we ate yesterday, but we get butterflies. In our tummy, in our head, in our feet! From that buzzing feeling in the center of your body, the inability to think and process things, to missing a step and tripping. We can deny what causes them but we all know where they come from.
Someone simply making us feel special, like we stood out apart from everyone else somehow. Whether it be within a small moment to just creating those moments to last forever. Someone could whistle at us in the hallway, sure we roll our eyes because some one is being immature but you know you feel a little better about yourself afterward.
I get butterflies a lot, or at least recently. Nothing beats the suspense to looking forward to seeing someone for 30 minutes. We're teenage girls! And don't know how long this will last, we don't know if he'll stick around, we don't know what will happen. We just know butterflies.
I get them before a performance, or some crazy bowel movements (oh goodness, those are bad), I get them when a cute boy tells me I'm pretty and when they walk me to class.
I love butterflies! All you know is smiles and laughing and giggling, (which is pretty much the same thing but giggles tend to be more extreme because I won't be able to talk). And because I am the person I am, I love to see people smile, it's the best reward!
But what makes them stick around? People lose the butterflies from time to time, and they wish they could bag them up and be able to feel them forever! After awhile, we expect the expected and the butterflies don't really have that much fun when they know the party is coming. I think what might keep them around would be staying spontaneous!
Don't bring flowers every Wednesday or take a girl out to dinner every Friday night. You gotta spice it up! And it's not just on the guys part, ladies, surprise your man! Do something for him! He may not get girly butterflies but he'll probably be really happy!
Call all his guy friends up, make a crap ton of snacks and let them have a guys night. Especially if he's been acting odd lately. The world is not about you ladies, but don't let him always expect for you to do everything. But we're not getting into that today!
Sure, with old love you may not have the same effect new love has but there's always something out there to make everything worth while. I love seeing my parent's love, because they both know it's not 50% 50%, it's 100% 100%. My dad writes songs, and my mom knows what he loves and supports what he does. They go on trips and let them just have moments with each other. It's the sweetest thing ever!
With teen girls, we're driving down the road singing as loud as we can, with a grin on our face and thinking of what to wear the next day. We are ridiculous. I will admit it, but girls, don't wait around for a guy if he doesn't at least get the gist that you're up in the clouds happy, not crazy. If a guy is thinking that, not only is it just not worth it, he won't understand and it'll take a lot to try to make him see that as well.
When a guy tells you he likes you because you're odd, or unique, that he saw you and his first thought was beauty despite your manly burps, slight bit of love handles, dry hands or even weird looking feet, it's not even butterflies anymore, you just straight up MELT. If he sticks around when he sees your nutty side... DO NOT SCREW IT UP!
Just a reminder. Let the guy ask you out, don't push him. I'v learned that the hard way... ;)
