I agree with a lot of what Serena<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0is saying in her post about how it is possible that Jennie and Eben are in love with the idea of love, and all the other various insignificant reasons to love someone that Serena lists in her blog.\u00c2\u00a0 However, I don’t think you need a good reason to love someone.\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe you are lonely, or afraid, or young, or naive, or stupid–but just because you don’t have a legitimate reason to be in love doesn’t discount being in love.\u00c2\u00a0 For whatever reason, Jennie and Eben love each other.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Serena comments that Jennie’s love for Eben is “something to make her feel less lost.”\u00c2\u00a0 Well yes, exactly<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0 That’s a good enough reason for to try and comprehend why human beings look for someone to love–another human connection, another person out there to make you feel less lost yourself, make you feel less like you are spiraling off into oblivion in this random existence.\u00c2\u00a0 Love gives comfort and security–love, in any form, gives you an excuse to get up in the morning–just knowing there’s someone out there you want to share the day with.\u00c2\u00a0 Serena says that, “they’re both so afraid that it leads them to believe they need–love–each other.”\u00c2\u00a0 I think being afraid is as good a reason as any to be in love, and\u00c2\u00a0having weak, human reasons for loving someone doesn’t in any way discredit the emotion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
