As I grow older and hear about the various romantic encounters of my friends or
think about my own, I cannot help but discern the blurred line between love and lust
that becomes a common point of contention. The images of youthful love and lust
sometimes end up looking very similar, which provides plenty of room for confu-
sion, distrust, and often, heartbreak. The subjects of these photos are individuals,
couples, friends, or strangers who are showing self and interpersonal love and lust.
Just like in reality, it may become difficult to differentiate which photos portray
which type of affection.
You decide.
