Love Novels
Why do I do this to myself? I read all this fictional tales of love and I literally fall in love with the text. But what's next? I move on from novel to novel, trying to distract myself from the latest story I finished reading. As if my life benefits from anything by reading these. Is love even existent? All ym life I have been sort of addicted to the concept of love and felt surrounded by it. From the first time I heard the story of my parents' teenage love to the time I read the Twilight Saga. Every day I grow more and more skeptical about this so called "indescribable" emotion. I don't understand it at all, I even question if Romeo and Juliet truly loved each other, or if their relationship was instead based on infatuation. My best friend "fell in love" with this kid during their sophomore year who ended up breaking her heart multiple times! Is that something anyone really desires? Now my dear friend is doomed to a life of comparing her relationships to that one. It's really quite heartbreaking. I am a sophomore and I can't even begin to say I have ever loved someone, I hardly even like people. People who claim to be in love at my age are idiots. They misunderstand the rush of infatuation to be love, and it's not even close. Which brings me back to my own love life, which is non-existent. Is no one in this POS town worth it? Do I even have a soul mate? How can one person be specifically designed to click with me or anyone else for that matter? Call me a skeptic, but so far, to me love is something only found in novels.

Who are we to describe emotions such as love?
ReplyDeleteThey're just emotions, describing any emotion maybe quite impossible.
But we can hope to god that we'll find someone that doesn't care if you snore in your sleep, who will take care of you when your sick, who will help was the skid marks out of your skivvies and laugh every step of the day. And just crave to hear the sound of their voice, and know that they are there for you every step of the way. Someone that will travel with you on this journey, life. They want to be with you just as much as you want to be with them.
And that my friend is the closest thing we have to love.
I don't know if that helped.
But it sure made me feel better.
:D

ReplyDeletei don't care that much
ReplyDeletei feel exactly the same way as you. honestly, yeah, i believe that there's someone made for you olivia. but warrenton? seriously. you're way bigger & better than that. i know it sucks being alone when it seems like everyone is pairing up, but realize that you're beyond what warrenton has to offer. in comparing regular love to that in the twilight saga, i've made some analysis. i mean, the love edward & bella shared, while strong and great, was EVERYTHING for them. what did bella do before edward came into her life? virtually nothing. now the olivia i know couldn't settle with nothingness. you're going places, and you know it. also, you're not as breakable as bella was, physically, & also emotionally. you have to take into account that the love between them wasn't really even human, as edward was a vampire, & bella soon became one too, and that the fantasy world created in the books does not really exist. also, in reading midnight sun, i realized why exactly edward liked bella so much. it was because despite her rampant physical & emotional weakness, she was a good, selfless person, no doubt. the looks and the interests just fell into place. anyways olivia, to put it in short, i know EXACTLY what you're going through, & i have been (and still partially am) there. sorry all that came out like a jumbled mess, but i'm sleepy so go figure. basically, you're worth more than some cheap highschool thrill in w-town. there's someone out there who'll have a deep personal connection with you, & the rest will hopefully fall into place.
