jump for my love!
hey, its a nice song ok? and hugh grant danced his goofy dance to it in Love Actually, which is a great movie that makes you go "Aaahh..thats nice".
what have I learned about Love in my 21 years of life? well, its been some lesson. its had its dizzying ups and incredibly depressing downs. i might seem a little young to talk about such things, but who knows, maybe a few years (or decades) down the road, i'll be able to look back and go "right" and see where i've gone from then on. anyways, LOVE.
its great when you find it. and you better hold on when you do because not everyone gets to Love or be in Love. when you think about it that way, its really something very special.
the honeymoon/infatuation/sta rtout phase is great where you're learning new things about yourself and the other person. and its all exciting and new. but that'll have to give way to something greater in order for Love to sustain itself. and there will be times when it just seems so hard, and incredibly discouraging. then you've got to know for yourself if its all worth it. was it worth all that? is it worth saving?
and if your answer is YES, then i've learned that you've got to learn to look past your own Hurt and disappointment (aka getting over yourself) and reach out. it may hurt as hell but if the other person is hurting just as bad, or worse, someone has to make a move to save it.
in that moment of Hurt, all kinds of crazy things can run through your head. ALL kinds. but you've just got to find a way to deal with Reality (ie whats really happening, and not just whats going through your head). putting aside your hurt and reaching out. it may sound like you're side-stepping yourself for the US or Him/Her. then again, it cant be all about you can it?
i hate to sound preachy...but hey, its not just about one person is it? if it is, there's something terribly wrong with that. there's got to be compromise and working on coming together and forgiving and letting go and learning and yadayada..i cant think up more "together/us" terms.
its amazing how the week just zoomed by when i've settled into this routine. today wasnt too tiring at work, hence my ability to come up with this sorta post.
