Love is the way you treat people. It is not just a word, theory, or something you just can throw around. It should be valued and cherished for the wonderful feeling it makes you and that special person in your life fall more and more deeply in love with each other with each day that passes. As more time goes by, this person becomes so important to you, where you couldn't picture your life without them being a part of it. They become your one and only, your reason for living, it makes you feel whole. Everyone should experience it, and when you do,it brings you to heights as far as the birds can fly, and you now can understand how happy people in love feel every day of their lives.
Because I am an old crank, I had to post before your puppylust crush Imprecator got to it.
Seriously though, you don't feel gushy every day of your life with the other person. Sometimes, in fact, the same things that made you fall in love with them will drive you batshit crazy. Just ask the Chick I live with. Lol. She's kind of a type A and likes my more laid-back lifestyle, if not all of the miscreant actions, but sometimes it just gets to her that I'm not 'with her on this' or that.
And the opposite is true: I'm in love with her, I've always loved strong confident women, and she has a sort of, I don't know how to say this without getting me into trouble with the delicate little ones on here, feminine qualities, nurturing qualities. yes I know men can be nurtuers too, I are one. Well she says I do more spoil than nuruture but that is another matter.
Anyway sometimes I have gotten to feel over the years like "Don't ruffle my feathers for something so small!"
It's dead-ass true: the same things you were madly in love with to start with will drive you insane sometimes. Except, if you knuckle down during those times and get through it, it seems you get stronger, or as She / they say, 'go deeper,' as a result.
There ya go, I went against my own better judgment and gave out love advice. Probably upsetting the little delicate exceptions to the rule on here, of which I are one: not little or delicate, but an exception in any number of ways, but not offended that there are things which seem to be generally true most of the time for most people.
I agree with you Leo. Sometimes things that seem charming at first can grind on the nerves after awhile. Most people just walk away from the other person nowadays I think, because society says it's ok to do so. And I guess I get that: if you're not happy with a person, and the differences can't be resolved, it's time to move on your merry way. However, there is something to be said for resolve and sacrifice which can bring you closer to another person and make you love them more. The romantic side of things, as a constant feeling, wares out after awhile. That's not me being synical really, it's also something well documented in psychology and throughout human behavior. But some people would rather live in a distorted form of reality. Which is all well and fine, but those are the ones who often can't understand why they were broken up with or why things just don't feel as romantic as they first did. Anyway, what do I know?
well said, leo and Scott.
to add to that, sometimes, unexplainable things can also be the most endearing (the way a loved one laughs, for example).
Well, I've never seen, felt or been as high as birds can fly so I can't really understand it. I don't think birds fly because they're happy, they have wings and so that's how they get around every day. They don't stay up in the air either. I mean seriously I think love is not all white doves. I do agree with you that the word shouldn't be thrown around. That's why we ought not to believe every charming word someone tells us and jump to telling them I love you. Because love grows with time, it's not something that happens right away with someone you don't really know, if at all. I may treat you with kindness and respect, but it doesn't mean I love you. I think it should be valued and charished not only because of the feeling, there's much more to that. The things you've both been through, the tough times, The things you've both shared, the joint successes, the history, perhaps, and so much more. So I disagree with you.
What do any of us know, Scott? I know a lot less now than I thought I knew in my 20s.
I agree with you, Dolce. "I love you" should never be thrown around like your favourite plaything. I'm sure your feelings can be entensified in any given situation, but you should never let it slip out, purely because of your selfish inability to let the bonde that person has with you grow over time. You should only say it when you feel the 2 of you are at the same emotional level as each other. Just because you feel it, doesn't give you the rite to say it. If you let your heart and your mouth get the better of you, you run the risk of scaring people away, or getting burned yourself by not getting it back when you might have expected it.
A beautiful mirmade called Poetry in motion,
Legend says she lives in the ocean.
on a great big search, I had to go,
To find her and tell her I loved her so.
When at last I spotted her, I could not believe,
This great stroke of luck that happened to me.
I took her hand and led her to shore,
but she slapped me and said, "I'm not your whore!"
I started to cry and I ran away... And that's when I decided, I'd just go gay.
Fucking BRAVO Anthony! LMAO
Lol Anthony! :)
Anthony, you just made my day. thank you!
That was pretty funny now wasn't it? Best poetry you'll read all year. Lol
