You know when you spend hours looking for something only never to find it? Then when you finally give up, it was right under your nose? What about love? Can you go your whole life looking for love not caring too much about the world at large and never find it? And would you give up looking if you figured you'd find it right under your nose according to the earlier logic? Of course if you give up, then maybe you'll never find it. Then again, its love, so logic doesn't factor in. So what do you do? Is it worth going your whole life thinking every relationship could be the one? Do you put your all into every relationship risking horrible heartbreak? Or do you take it easy and view each one with a scrutinizing eye risking pushing them away? Is there an inbetween? People obviously make it work. Nothing is ever perfect, but then why does it never work out? I've had good times, but sometimes that's not enough. Will I find what I'm looking for? Or will I settle for what I get? Will I find an amazing relationship to make up for a life of crappy endings? Or will I coast through life never finding what I truly want? I guess that's part of life. Life goes on. No need to dwell. Patience and time solve most things. But can one truly be patient in matters of the heart? It seems contradictory to me. I'm a hopeless romantic and a realist. These things do not mesh... I suppose time will answer my questions.
Or am I just being emo?

My motto (not just for love, but for any aspect of life) is to put everything I have into what I'm doing. Sure, you get hurt sometimes, or you find you're not as good at something as you'd hoped, but I can always rest easier if I know I did everything I could with it.
ReplyDeleteAnd for dealing with the letdowns, the best thing you can possibly do is keep those who mean the most to you as close as possible. Be there for them when they need it, and hope that they'll be there for you.
So if you ask me, if you feel anything at all like love, put your heart into it. Statistics say you'll probably get hurt. But I'd rather risk the hurt than risk missing out on love. Then again, I'm a hopeless romantic.
