To My Friends Who Have Chosen Love

27 January 2010

Congratulations, you have chosen love, and love has chosen you back.

I applaud your bravery, with all the things the movies tell us about how love will leave you hurting, how relationships don't work out the way you want them. With all those songs singing of love lost, love gained, hearts broken, tears shed, mistakes, suffering, sadness, bullshit, you still choose to love. You are great people, but now what are you gonna do? You are a noob in a giant trapeze, where it's either you continue until you fall, or continue until you reach the end, where you have to look for some sort of happiness while you're there risking life and limb.

Some of you have chosen love, but still wonder if it has really chosen you back. You doubt if you are good enough, yes you are, you are more than enough, if you can 

Some of you have had their hearts broken, it is especially hard for me to be friends with a broken heart and a heart breaker. Knowing that one of you is right and the other one is also my friend makes it difficult for me to keep things in check. But I try, even if sometimes I catch myself saying too much, if that's what it takes to keep throw stuff like that into normal conversations I do it. But I find the best way to take care of both friendships is to not talk about it and that works most of the time, but I like to let you know that if you do wanna talk about it I'm gonna be there listening.

Then there's some of you who face the trials of the trying to make that choice, trying to get into love. You know what, We may get all glitchy when it comes to decisions like this but it's really supposed to be simple. It's either try to be happy, or remain miserable. If we fail to be happy, we end up miserable, but we're used to misery anyway after living all those years trying to make the decision. Sometimes we decide to jump for it but forget to reach out mid-air, so we fall back to misery.
