In it, this girl falls in love with a guy who&#8217;s 17 (she&#8217;s 14) but he and her sister fall in love later (when they meet).  [My cousin] and [my other cousin] and X were saying that they hated the older sister, but I don&#8217;t see why.  Just because she (the younger sister) liked the guy first didn&#8217;t mean he belonged to her.  And although he did start to like her, it was more as a friend. <\/p>\n<p>How can you say one love is more important than another?  The only reason it is <u>right<\/u> that the older sister and the guy got together is that they both loved each other, whereas it was one-sided, or would have been, with the younger sister.  It wouldn&#8217;t be fair to the two to give up happiness because her feelings would be hurt, and her feelings would have been hurt anyway, &#8217;cause he didn&#8217;t like her in that way any more.<\/p>\n<p>The one thing that is really important to think of is that nobody chooses for someone to love them.  You can&#8217;t blame a person because the one you love loves them and not you.  And you can&#8217;t blame the one either.  That&#8217;s the thing with love&#8211;you can&#8217;t control it, define it, or restrain it.  You can blame it, but it won&#8217;t do anyone a lot of good.  That&#8217;s just the way it is.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.megancrewe.com\/blog\/?p=26\">An Introduction to Flashbacks<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.megancrewe.com\/blog\/?p=29\">The Flashback Cast<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.megancrewe.com\/blog\/?page_id=242\">The Flashback Timeline<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>December 29, 1995 (Megan is 15) We watched a movie called THE MAN IN THE MOON tonight.
