I think being jaded, cynically so, is silly. Jaded towards love, or towards anything really. Brings that question to mind, whether it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. So, is it? Is it really?
Love makes us see the world in an entirely different manner. Love is wonderful. But love is also brutal. It's a multi-faceted phenomena that none of us can even begin to wrap our heads around. So to give up on love altogether? Why...that's like saying it's about time to give up on food. Without any passion in life, it's not worth living. It's easy to ignore for a while, but sooner or later you need it. So to give up so much to attain love? I can see it. If that high wasn't so very, very high then it wouldn't be worth the gutwrenching lows. The highs help you gloss over the lows, help you remember what you're in it for. It's easy to imagine when a relationship is left as a dying ember, those memories of the highest highs help pull a couple through.
It's all about taking chances, love. Life changing decisions are made every moment of every day, and the same thing happens within relationships. If you come out the end a winner, then good. That's great, actually. But if you come out the other side a shadow of the person you once were, that's a side effect of love. Love can giveth and taketh away. Ba-dah! There's your problem.
Maybe at some point in our lives there should be a sit-down conversation with a trained professional. If Yaz commercials can go on for two minutes straight about the horrific, possibly life-altering sideeffects of birth control, then I want the same amount of time to know what sort of things I'm getting into with a relationship. Where's that in health class?
And only if there was a proper recourse for every action. And only if that were so easy to follow.
Maybe it's that we all secretly want everyone else to have to learn for themselves, to go through the same sort of hardship crap that we had to in order to get to the finish line. In this analogy let's say the finish line is...death. Wait. That doesn't sound right. Happiness? lol I have no idea. I'm no expert on love. I'm no expert on anything, actually. Hello, anyone who's reading this! Hope you're having a great day. If you're not, then I think you should change that. Make today a great day. You're alive...why not?
