Down with love?
Sometimes I feel like a have become a member of a minority. It seems to me that more and more the idea of someone being with a person they love is a bad thing. It is a slight paradox in my nature that I am a hopeless romantic, and that most people wouldn't associate that with me. I am the opposite to the cliched romantic. I guess I just conjure up images of forlon poets, taking opiates and moping around after lost loves, quoting imageries of beauty and truth.
I on the other take the piss out of people a lot, like making people laugh, I swear a LOT (and I mean a LOT), and I am quite forthright with what I think. I rarely sugar coat what I say and I am more honest than not.
BUT I am a romantic. I adore silly romance films, and most of the music that really moves me is romance based. I draw the line at romance novels (Mills and Boon novels are tantamount to a full frontal lobotomy to me!)
I hear more and more stories of people who are too busy to be in a relationship. They like someone too much to be with them. A relationship is too complicated for their lives right now. Now, I know that the majority of these excuses that are given to my friends are because of one simple factor - the excusee doesn't really like the person that much and deliver the lines to let them down gently. However I think in some situations people make the excuses and believe them.
Since when has been with someone been a hindrance? As much as life is fine for me alone, having someone to share it with is better. I don't need a person to complete me (hell I overshadow a lot people - how the could someone complete me!) but I like being in love and a relationship. Surely a solid base should help you face whatever else there is in life? It is always easier to face life's woes with someone to support you. Few people on this world are strong enough to face the ups and downs by themselves.
I am not advocating that people she get in relationships for the sake of it (exactly the opposite to be honest), but when it does come along why are people so afraid to embrace it? After all it is only when you take risks that you have the chance to achieve greatness.
