The Trouble with Love
Okay, so I've been thinking, I know, kinda scary, but about our obsession with falling in love. But when you think about it is a normal obsession that plagues the American people. From young ages we hear songs about falling in love, and we hear the pop idols we admire singing about falling in love, or how much they adore their girl, and we, naturally, want the same thing. Girls dream of the moment when a boy will sing the same thing for her, because then, he must mean it. And of course, you must consider the movies we grow up on as well. I adore chick flicks because I like the reminder that love can happen. And I want it to happen to me. You see people like Meg Ryan fall in love with an amazing guy, he might have faults, like poor clothing choices, but he was willing to fight for her love and affection. I'm not talking about a fist fight, but he was willing to chase her down a bridge, or openly express his feelings, and for a girl, that is amazing. So, we grow up obsessed with falling in love, and being in love, and yet these are often times unrealistic expectations. Love does not come in the same way as it does in songs or in movies. Those men have others, many others, to write their lines, so they do not have to rely on themselves. No man will have the perfect timing, the right words to say all of the time, because we are just as confusing to them as they are to us. And as try as we might, we will never fully teach guys the art of chick flicks, so when we walk away, they will most likely let us go, instead of chasing us down. But we are only human, right.
