Chapter 7: The Ninth Tuesday

The reason I chose the chapter about how love goes on . . . wait, why am I even answering this question!? I'm a girl -- we practically dream about it all day and all night long. Who am I kidding, I picked it because I'm a girl. That's what I knew before reading this chapter. Girls all have that in common, we are afraid we'll never find love. Don't know why it just is.

The thing I contemplated while reading this is how stupid guys are. OK - I take that back. Guys are stupid when it comes to girls. Seriously! We're not that hard to understand. We want you to bring home flowers just because. We want to hear about how amazing and gorgeous we are. And yes, every girl's "love talk" depends on the girl, but for the most part -- we're suckers for you guys. You know how we say, "Boys" in that slightly annoyed tone? Yeah, so (spoiler alert) we like you guys to be . . . (drum roll) boys! If you weren't boys, we probably would've killed you a long time ago.

Albom learned that as long as you remember someone, they "live on." I like to think that way too, but I learned that we need to surround ourselves with people who will remember us so we don't really die. That's important to every girl -- that we stand out and that we are remembered. Song of Songs 1:4b says, "We rejoice and delight in you; we will praise your love more than wine." We should be that way with everyone in our lives.
