Thoughts on love part 1

This is the way you left me,
I’m not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it’s forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

No Happy Ending - Mika

Love seemed easier when I was young. Before the teenage and adult years. I remember my first love. I was 3, maybe 4. My best friend and I were in love with two twins that went to our daycare center. I loved Christian and she Patrick, or was it the other way around? We used to chase them on the playground. Since then it seems like love has gotten a little bit more complicated. I had a few other crushes during my first years in school, but the next big love came when I was 11 and discovered New kids on the Block, or NKOTB. I wrote in my journal, I still have it, something like “Today i fell in love. His name is Joe McIntyre”. It didn’t seem to matter at all that he was a huge pop star or that I was 11 and he 20, I just knew I was gonna marry him. My best friend (the one who had a crush on Patrick) was also in love with Joey, but not even that seemed to matter. It was a simple but real love. He was the perfect man, he never hurt me, and he was always there for me (on several posters in my bed room). My bubble cracked when I went to one of their concerts, in Globen, Stockholm. The place was full of screaming girls. It really shocked me, I just couldn’t understand why they screamed so much. And Joey and the other guys were just small little dots on the stage far away, I could barely hear what they sang. I dunno, that night I grew, and realized it was just an illusion and I’ve not loved another boy band member since. I miss that kind of uncomplicated love though. It seems like since my first kiss when I was 15, love has been a lot more complicated. I thought that maybe after the teen years stuff would make more sense, be more clear? But it just seems to be more intense. Relationships are deeper, lasts longer and hurt more. I miss the innocent childhood crushes. And even though I don’t want to, I’m really starting to believe that pretty much all men are jerks. I know women say that all the time, but I’m really starting to believe it (more about that in part 2). The problem is that I seem to always fall in love. Despite knowing that men are jerks I still fall, very easily, and it’s really tiring. So, since I seem to need to be in love, I’ve decided to direct my love towards Mika. For those of you who have missed who Mika is, I can inform y’all that he is the hottest, cutest, coolest, sexiest and most talented singer right now. And just like with Joey McIntyre, he doesn’t really exist (well he does, but not as a person I know), so he can never hurt me and can be all I want him to be. Plus, when I listen to his music, it makes me so happy. He writes about sometimes hard and sad things but always sings with a smile and convey so much positive energy . And he has the most amazing voice. So, as an attempt to go back to childhood innocence, from now on I will love Mika. I think life might be easier that way, and the rumours about him being gay or the fact that we will never meet, or even talk, does not change anything. It’s just how I want it.

Nothing can go wrong.

 

Also, I have a theory that there is at least one lolcat for any topic. To prove this I will from now on post a lolcat picture with my blogs, to add some extra wisdom and insight to the subject. Here’s one about love:

The reason love seems to be harder and deeper is that we are all understanding it’s complicated poewr over us and all of the Universe… As a child I fell inlove allt he time, had crushes on several people at the same time. Iloved those crushes that never invovled the other person at all- just me.
Growth teaches us to interact with others and we learn that to love and to be loved can be beautiful but most of the time it is just plain painful. We are so vulnerable when we have strongs feelings for anyone. Me too had the security of loving NKOTB’s Joe McIntryre. It’s the safest and best realationship I can recall- perfect really. I am married now (for 9 years) and I don’t think love is easy. It still hurts, it is still really hard to handle, BUT it has taught me so much not only about myself but also about mankind. It is special to be in unity with another person. It is deep in ways I can’t even say… and even thogh it is painful, the bliss of unity is always always worth the pain that I pay.
I am sure of the fact that we are not made to be alone- we are better in a set of two :) If the combination is right it will always bring out the best in you, and you will always bring out the best out of your partner!!!

So don’t give up on love, becuase I don’t really think you want to give up the search and I am sure of that this stage you’re in now won’t be over until you are ready to truly give your heart away for REAL.

Thanks for sharing your heart!

Linda, thanks for your comment. I really needed it I think. :) You are absolutely right and I couldn’t agree with you more. I agree on that we are not ment to be alone, and that love, the good and the bad that comes with it, helps us to grow. When we are two people involved in the love, and not just a one way crush like you said, it is so much more revarding and it’s worth all the pain. I really don’t mind the pain that comes with love. It’s the ending of love that I have a problem with. All these relationships that don’t last. It gets really tiring after a while, and I guess it has made me somewhat bitter, and it was a lot of that bitterness speaking when I wrote this. I am trying to understand things and to deal with my bitterness, and one way I do that is to write about it. Wich is why I really appreciate your comment, it gave me a lot to think about and helped a bit in my little war against the bitterness. :P

Thank you!
