Thoughts On The L Word




That's right people; I am going to touch on the subject of Love.

Make sure you read that with caution, I said touch on the subject. I have MANY theories on the subject this is just a tid bit on my thoughts. 
I have been putting a lot of thought into this, and here goes, agree or disagree, whatever. 

First of all let me start by informing you all that in no way do I believe in the fairy tale of love. I do not believe I am going to find the perfect person, because I do not believe there is such a thing. I know I sure as hell am not perfect, and therefore how could I ever expect to find someone who is perfect? Who the hell wants someone who is perfect anyways? We are meant to be flawed! 

So; moving on. 

I truly believe that people should not have to classify themselves into a sexual orientation and fall in love with a person of that same orientation. I do not believe anyone should be put into a box, and feel that in all parts of life. I feel strongly about this because I do not think that anyone should have to live their life and look for love based on what they classify themselves as. 

Here is a crazy idea; lets throw away Gay, Straight, Lesbian, Bi! I think, if you truly have a connection with another human, and you feel in your heart that you love them, and belong with them, then be with them. 
I understand the need for sexual attraction, and that it is an important part of a relationship, I am not saying to ignore that. I am saying that people should follow their hearts, and their souls, not the box they have put themselves in. 
And yes I am speaking about everyone, including myself. If I met another female, although to this point I would have to say that this isn't the case, and I connected with her, and felt I belonged with her, and loved her, why should I pretend that that isn't the case? In many other people’s opinion, because, for the entirety of my life I have only been in relationships with men, and have been put into the box of "straight" I should only be in a relationship with a man, and should only fall in love with a man. 

I just believe that labels are ridiculous when it comes to love. I say, love who you love and don't be afraid of what others think, don't be afraid of what you or others have decided you are. When it comes down to it, we are all humans. Yes we have different sets of parts, and different chemistry. Who the fuck cares?

I am not currently in love with anyone, and do not see that changing anywhere in the near future. 

I just think people should open their minds, and open their hearts, and stop labeling themselves or others. 

How about if, from now on we just say we are all humans. 

Yes, of course, do not fall in love with a child, and animal, or an inanimate object. I just think as adults, for once, we can just classify each other as people. 

How about we take this one step further and treat each other always as other humans, and not ever feel the need to classify ourselves or others. Not just when it comes to love, but when it comes to anything!

Here is another notion of mine when it comes to love. 

If you really love the person, here are some rules to keep them

Trust them - once that trust is gone, it can never be brought back
Treat them like they are loved - enough said I think
Don't hurt them - verbally, physically, and emotionally
Help them - in anything and everything


Remember mutual love is all that is needed, but it has to be equal.
