Love Stinks
February 14, 2007
I kind of feel bad. In an earlier post I had mentioned how V-day is great unless your single. Well turns out that when I went to work, I found out that an acquaintance of mine had just recently broke up with a significant other late last night. She had recently opened up and said those dangerous three words…I Love You. Now fellas, we know how we can be around those words. And who knows, it could have been too early to break out that phrase, I didnt get into the specifics, but it got me thinking about how shitty love can be sometimes. Its like a natural disaster. Sometimes you don’t see it coming and even when you do, there is little you can do about it. In any case here goes my rant.
Have you ever been in love? It is the most horrible yet invigoratingly free feeling there is. It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest, your heart, your mind and your soul once you let it out. But it also means that you just let someone inside your plate of armor who can fuck you up if they want to. You spend all your life building up walls and defenses, ways out and ways into another person’s life; often a stranger or acquaintance. So we spend all this time, most of our early childhood and pre-teen years, building and maintenancing our armor so that nothing can harm us. Only to one day, let one fucking person, who is no fucking different from any other person, waltz into your fucking wonderfully gaurded life. You give them a small piece of you to start. They never asked for it, but you uncontrollably gave it to them. Wondering the whole time up until that moment when you give it away, if it was the right decision. Then you spend all night hoping it was still the right decision. And you don’t know what they did. It was probably something so trivial, like kissing you or a smile, and in that instant your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes no prisoners. Once it gets inside you, it eats at you and then leaves you for dead in the darkness. ‘Maybe we should just be friends’, meaningless any other day of your life, turns into an acid shower drowning your heart. It hurts…a lot. Not just in your dreams, or in your mind. But your soul. It’s soul-pain, a real ice-in-your-veins-rip-you-apart kind of pain. I love love. But sometimes I hate love.
Well that was a lengthy rant. Comment if you please.
“I love you” is totally overrated.
The only way to say “I love you” is to show it.
Saying it means complete shit.
“I love you” has also lost its beauty because people throw it around way too much and carelessly.
The only way to say “I love you” is to show it, and if you show it enough, and the right way, then you won’t ever need to say it, because that person will already know.
So you’re saying that the words “I love you” are overrated?
I am. They’re thrown around way too easily, and have lost a lot of their true value.
Showing you love someone is much more important than saying it.
Besides, people also overvalue love. It’s easier to love than a lot of people think. People try to make love out to be this big complicated thing, when it’s really not. It’s a feeling just like all the others. People make it out to be so elusive and hard to give and receive, just so they have something to strive for. It’s all mental.
Showing someone you love them is much more meaningful than just saying it.
Example: “I’m really good at baseball”…”Oh yeah? Prove it” — That person then proves it, and it means much more than what they said. (Actions speak louder than words)
I’m trying my best to explain this as well as I can, but I’m not very good at explaining things. The bottom line is “I love you” is thrown around too easily, and in turn loses a lot of its value.
Showing your love for someone is a lot more meaningful than just telling them you love them. (should I say it a 4th time after this?)
Sure it might mean a lot to them if you tell them, but I’m sure it’d mean a hell of a lot more if you showed them.
couldn’t have said it better, perfectly put. i know my special some one and i try not to abuse the words too much, so that when it is said, it means something. and no offense to anyone who does this, but saying i love you everytime you hang up the phone, c’mon. doesn’t that kill it after a while? i apoligize to anyone that does that, and if it’s special to do it then that’s cool. but very nicely put michael. alright, back to the manly postings, through some tits or an ass up there
very well put mago. I especially like the love is not elusive part of that rant. couldn’t agree more.
wow, you guys actually understood what i was trying to say? awesome
i really couldn’t put it into words (so i thought) what i was trying to say…but apparently i did it well enough
it’s almost like people feel pressure sometimes too, to say “I love you” and they buckle sometimes and say it, and they think they mean it and they really don’t…or they know they don’t mean it, but say it anyway, or just don’t know what love is…
bottom line…glad i got my point across
