Love me not?

 

Today I’ve decided to write a serious blog, concerning the four letter L word.  “LOVE”  <---------- there it is!

 

Im in my early thirties and after all this lifetime experience, I’m still up in arms when it comes to accurately describing what love really is.  Some say its a feeling, an emotion, a few believe in love on first sight, some don’t believe much in love period.

 

For the most part, I find most people to be afraid of love, myself included.  Love on first sight is something I truly believe in… in contrast I feel that most that experience that feeling are too chicken to chase after it.  Not only that, but today’s battle of the sexes is so twisted and torn, its near impossible for such a fairy tail to materialize anymore.

 

Everyone has done this: asked someone if they loved them or not.  How many times have you been satisfied by that answer.  How often did they say something that you wanted to hear, opposed to something you never expected to hear…that was better than anything you could have imagined.  Where exactly does what we want to hear come from, and how do we formulate these opinions and desires.

 

To sum things up, it wasn’t all that long ago I remember asking someone WHY they loved me, and the reply i got was “I just do”  For whatever reason, that answer didn’t suffice.  You would think one might elaborate, toss in an example of exactly why, or at the very least bullshit a lil…just for the sake of wanting to make the other person happy.  

 

All i know is if I were to ask anyone’s feelings regarding any issue, like why they like  a certain movie, type of food or even which season was their favourite…and I got the response “I just do….”  I would most definitely want some elaboration.  I don’t see how it should be any different when it comes to something as intimate as communicating your feelings with another human being.
