Rethinking the L word

After thinking about my lousy attitude of "no such thing as love" I've realized that I'm the one who's full of crap. Love is not the one that's bogus, I am.

Think about it this way. It's not that love doesn't exist, it's just that it's a stranger to me. What I had met before was something that claimed to be love, but was really just a poseur.

I have learned a lot, but still don't claim to know it all, not even a small fraction.

But from what I've experienced I've come up with a few pointers to myself.

-Be cynical. There's nothing wrong with questioning something you're unsure of, especially when it's so important.

-It takes time -lot's of it- for love to form. It grows slowly.

-It's not all about happiness... it's more about something artistic and beautiful.

-It can change, it can't lie, but it isn't rigid.

-It's not an emotion. I have no idea what it is, if anything.

-Love is difficult; difficult to find, difficult to keep, difficult to interact with. That's why it is work and why it hurts.

-Love makes no sense. It doesn't. None of the above is correct probably.
