This piece is considered a dry-run, which I must tell you, is fully-equipped to disappoint your judgements of me.
I feel I have an undiagnosed case of mental illness. I am the perfect example of a mentally disabled teenager. As of now, my mass of nerve tissue in the cranium of vertebrates which you are commonly familiar to as the Brain has not been working for the past 72- hours straight. err. I'm kind of thinking it might become synthetic or something.
Hmm, and then it popped into my head like clockwork. there's always one thing that catches everyone's attention: LOVE.
Love is much like a gossip, a lot of people talk about it but only a few know the truth. I've wrote an article about LOVE before ( if I consider it an article, whatever) and I've managed to find it. Here are some points on the "article".
In LOVE, two words come into my mind, Pain and Happiness. Pain for those who let go of LOVE and Happiness to those who have encountered the true meaning and beauty of it. Yet, those two words seem to sick together like paper and glue.
There is also whate we call INNOCENT LOVE. The kind of love that kids can see and tell. What love means to them is broader and deeper than I could have ever imagined. Let me share you some of their thoughts.
" Love is what makes you smile even when you're tired" - Age 4.
"Love is when you tell a boy you like his shirt and he wears it everyday. " - Age 7.
"Love is when my puppy licks my face even after I've left him alone all day." - Age 5.
Such innocence. Sometimes, a little child makes more sense than a million wise men. They don't have a past to look back to and they don't worry about the future. It's all about living life to the fullest and that's why they're happy.
Polluted by today's movies, music and media, love is being portrayed among adults as an exciting sex encounter or experience. "10 Ways to Satisfy a Man" , " Want to have more excitement in Life? Have an Affair", these are what the magazines tell us.
This is the world's concept of "LOVE" and I tell you, it's pleasure for the moment and setting a collision course with misery for a lifetime.
Ok. Stop right there. I'm getting all hypodermic again. haha. Rewind. Whooooo.
Then, I thought again. LOVE. I thought about him. There are just about a million reasons to fall in love with him, or not. The way our hands locked together perfectly, the way those eyes look at me and seem to melt my heart away or the way he completes my day just by being there. But, there was a problem. In my opinion, a BIG one. the "AGE" gap.
Well, I am kind of 2 years ahead older than him and they said that "Age doesn't matter" but I have been a firm believer that guys should always older than girls. I mean, it's unethical to me.
Ok. There's Demi Moore and Ashton and they never had a problem, i mean, why does it have to be him? Why me?
Yet, as the jumbled pieces were still scattered in my mind, HE kind of popped in my mind like a sore thumb. Wait, a realy good sore thumb. I mean, I've got the while future. I don't need to worry right? this dilemma will pass and I do hope it's just a phase. We all have that right?
LOVE? I think about it. Then, I asked Mr. Webster's help which he kindly defined in a lot of ways. LOVE (luv) n. strong affection or liking for someone else or something. 2. A passionate affection for one person or another. 3. The object of such affection. 4. A Tennis score of zero. (Wait, please disregard number four. haha.)The word itself simply is unexplainable, and it will always be like gossip for me. But then again,maybe it's the way he understands me if I sleep and forgot to text him goodnight, maybe it's the way he smiles at me even when I look like a mess or the way he keeps me happy and LOVE may be just HIM.
