thought #1
How do you differentiate loving someone and being in love with them?
I never fully understood how people just simply know if they love someone romantically. Actually, I find the relationship of most of the people I'm acquainted with hmm... how shall I put it... umm... shallow. Shallow in the sense that when someone starts to doubt, the most frequent thing people ask is if the person doubting likes the other person. When you enter a relationship of the whole boyfriend and girlfriend type, you actually already have to be in love. The liking part should still fall under the mutual understanding phase. Hmm... at least thats what the old lady who gave me a pep talk said. :) Anyway... Its like, people can't really differentiate the two.
example #1
Sometimes people just agree to have a relationship out of pity or because they don't want to make the person sad. What that person fails to recognize is that he/she is hurting the person more by saying yes to them. A whole lot of other complications will arise and the purpose of the person saying yes will finally show and the pain and conflict that could've been prevented by a two letter word will be ten times greater.
example #2
Most of the time, people think that they're so in love and stuff but, really its just infatuation, loneliness and sometimes even lust. *barf* lets not go into detail. ;)
thought #2 (Technically, this one isn't really a thought)
Don't say i love you when you really don't mean it. Doin' that is very bad! You shouldn't lead people on like that. If you don't love 'em, don't say you do. Right? Right? Right?
thought #3
"you complete me"
I think that Jerry McGuire thing is kinda wrong. I mean, you shouldn't need other people to complete you. Its like saying that you'll never be totally happy if you're not with someone. you should be happily contented with yourself before you commit... right? You shouldn't need anyone to complete you! The only person you who can complete you is yourself... or jesus but, he's not exactly counted.
thought #4
If you love a person deeply but he/she constantly hurts you, when do you say enough is enough?
Real hardcore hopeless romantics would probably say never. :)
Wishes
I wish i was a hardcore hopeless romantic. i wish i wasn't so cynical. i wish you were everything i wanted. i wish you were everything i needed. i wish it was the right time for you and me. i wish i didn't have to constantly convince myself that this is right. i wish you were with her because i'm sure she can make you happy.
