quote of the day

If you can stop loving someone then you never loved them

Dear Love

I thought living w/out you could be easy... but who am I kidding life with you is like living with out a purpose. I am breathing but I am not living. I can see every thing around me but yet I feel empty. I once had this pure image of you that is slowly drifting. you are becoming a once thought about idea that no longer exist. I do not know how I got here. I do not know how I lost you. I cant even remember what it feels like to have you in my world. Sometimes I think I never really had you in My world maybe I had a replica... that could be why nothing has worked out but to be honest I thought living without you would be easy but my heart aches everyday wondering why does it hurt so bad to be alone?. Why does everyday seem to be a battle. I guess its time for me to be honest and admit life without you isn't as good as it gets... I'm lonely and not having you hurts the most.

Rules of love

I think everyone should have their own rules when it comes to love. Since the dawn of time, people have been telling others how "love" is suppose to look like. For example; in ancient Egypt people married their blood siblings to make babies so they could keep their bloodline going, "sex was for creating babies" In the 12th century there was “courtly love” which was where knight had to prove his love for a married woman. As we move through time the definition of love changes and it will continue to change. We live in a world where everyone believes they should write a book on love. I cannot tell you how many books are out there. There are books on marriages, sex, love, how to catch a man, and keep him, and the do's and don't's of dating. All of these books are suppose to have the answer that will teach us how to love or how to be loved. The list is endless. We are constantly trying to manipulate love into a logically factor. The problem is, love is not logical, and there is not one equation that will give us a solid solution to this problem. I think it is a good thing that we all create our own definition of love because as humans, we all love in different styles and no matter how hard we try to put love in words we will all feel and act them out differently. Some people believe love is pure passion and emotion, it is almost like emotional rollercoaster’s and then there are others who believe love is calm and gentle built on a “ friendship caught on fire”. At the end of the day, love is what you make of it. You create your own love scale.

"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."
— Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi
