i was either born in love or never have been so

"o nací enamorado
o, en verdad, nunca lo he estado"

(no es que no crea en el amor, simplemente así soy)



LOVE.

We could all sit for hours just talking and sharing our experiences - after all, everybody has a totally different point of view in life. Nobody thinks exactly alike when it comes to the big questions of life. The experiences a person lives through ultimately change their view of the world - especially on that big, constantly repeated word, "love".

A person's complete history of love has so many different emotions in it that letting it all out would be, basically, impossible (there's not enough time in the world!!). Love comes in so many different forms, I mean, there's the unconditional love you get from your pet (especially from a dog), the inspirational love you get from your different muses (artist will know tehee), the love that comes through the feeling of being accepted for who you are with friends and the, well, you know, relationship-love. Partnership-love. The marriage and babies and house at beach, that sort of love. But it's a common mistake to think that only through a stable relationship could we receive love. That if we have not yet found our "other half", basically we just wonder on the surface of this planet with no real goal. Lost and left alone. Why is this so commonly thought???

Simple - all other feelings of love, besides the "let's be together for the rest of our lives" -kind, are simply invisible to most of us. Most feelings we just take for granted. Remember the love of your dog? We think it's an absolute truth the dog will always be on the porch waiting for us, ready to give us affection whenever we need it. Or that we don't need to call our sisters/brothers/parents/closest friends etc. because they'll always be on our side. This doesn't mean we appreciate them any less - it just tells us how that love, the everyday love, becomes so natural to us that we can just close our eyes and know it doesn't disappear.

But there's one love that conquers all others by far, atleast in my opinion. The simple love of life.


I mean, let's think a little. If we don't love life, if we don't wake up with even the slightest feeling of joy of having woken up, if we just live through each day running like crazy to reach yet another meaningless goal - who are we? Did all those billions of years of evolution lead to societies where the people live like machines? Where life is only fulfilling when we have something to rub into each other's faces, bragging?

I know we've all heard billions of sayings, lyrics and poems about life and love and how they go along in the bliss of the moment, but it still feels like many people are missing on so much. They become ignorant to what is surrounding them. They start taking things for granted (like the loves I mentioned) and time gets the best of them. It's so sad to see people who watch their life pass by. (I'm not saying that if you don't bunjee-jump or climb mountains everyday you're unhappy, don't get me wrong, I'm sure every single person knows what is the trigger that makes them, in particular, to enjoy their lives. I'm talking about the feeling when you know you're just not enjoying anymore.)

Simply: how can you love or even have some kind of strong feelings towards anything if you lose the love for just being alive?

I mean, for example yes, relationships can be awesome, and for the people who are capable of holding on to a good one, good for you!!, but in my opinion there's so much more in life to discover as well. We're not babies anymore, we can experience the world outside of the lap of a loved one, and people shouldn't see the ones with more interest to do so as unhappier people. Everyone can define what factors make them happy and how they remember to wake up smiling. So what if we can't find happiness in the arms of another person like others might. Some people are just built like that. We just have to acknowledge what feelings we possess and what can we share with the world. This does not make us less meaningful or failures to humankind.


Or, atleast, I don't think so. But as I said, everybody thinks differently, since there aren't two identical histories of love.

"I was either born in love or never have been so - it's not that I don't believe in love, that's simply just me." División Minúsucla said it all in a shorter way :D I hope you enjoyed this and understood what I was saying. If you want to share experiences/comment/whatever, feel free to do so. This was a little piece of the complicated brain only an almost 18-year-old could have..

Hugs&kisses,

("2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song,
if I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me,

threatening the life it belongs to

And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd,
'cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
and I know that you'll use them however you want to

But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
and life's like an hourglass glued to the table
")
