The essay “Young Love” by Tiffany Sharples discusses diverse points concerning the idea of love throughout our lives. Humans desire for affection; we want to be loved and taken care of in order to feel adequate. The entire essay focuses on how we are equipped with the tools we need in order to receive love from others. At each stage of chronological development, we expose new understandings about ourselves and our own physical being that lay the foundation for the next stage of development. One of Sharples’ quote which sums up her entire argument is: “From the moment we're born--when the world is mostly sensation, and nothing much matters beyond a full belly, a warm embrace and a clean diaper--until we finally emerge into adulthood and understand

Several critical factors also play a vital role in the development of romance, such as childhood and early development, real life experience and the effect it has on relationships, morals and values, self-confidence and esteem, social attitudes and societal expectations, and personal preferences.

It presents the idea that an individual’s experimentation hinders their ability to form long lasting relationships once their experimenting phase is over. I don’t agree with this quote for the fact that I believe experimenting while you are young is actually beneficial to your future relationships. When you are young you should not be focused on trying to form long lasting relationships because you are still trying to find out who you are. In order to be able to be happy with someone else you must first be happy with whom you
