Whats love?

I think this is something that we all never really know the answer to.  This is because love is progressive and relative to the situation.  Personally I've started to encounter something that I guess I could call love.

Back in middle school and high school I used to skateboard quite a bit but never really got any good.  I quit for a while and never learned how to do much more than a kickflip.  If you've never heard of some podunk town and the name of it makes you think of banjos, chances are you've never heard of the totally awesome skate scene there.  Back then i used to skate for something different than I do now.  I think I liked skating back then because it was so challenging and I wanted to get better.  I rode to get better.

I still ride to get better, but that's not all.  I started skating again this summer and gained the friendship of one my now closest friends Jeezy.  People that are outgoing and motivated have a likewise affect on your life.  AJ has done nothing but get me motivated to shralp.  I sometimes even ride my bike places to save on gas and the environment and without such a positive attitude I wouldn't.

Combine such a motivation with skateboarding and there is progression; not just how good you are, but how good it makes you feel.  I'm better now than I used to be and teh feeling it gives me is much more rewarding than it used to be.  Not only is love progression, but it is also dedication.

Not dedication to something because you think dedication will make it better.  Not dedication because it makes you feel good to land trickflips and progress.  Not dedication because shralpin the niz 4 wheels down is hardcore.  Dedication because of all of these things, and most importantly, dedication because of love.

When you love something you set time aside to do what or even who you love.  I go to college.  I play guitar.  I have friends.  I set time aside to go skateboard.  Skateboarding is something that I love right now and I like spending a lot of time doing it.  The truth is that I've never really been that good at skating or progressed that fast.  I think I like the challenge now as I did back when I started.  Landing something straight bolts and progression are some very rewarding things to life.  So as of right now:  love is dedication, love is progression, and most important of all, love is skateboarding.
