On the Topic of Love :)
No human emotion is stronger or more sought after…it’s the acumination of 4 billion years of evolution that folks are striving for each and everyday. Love starts as this butterfly in your stomach that you can’t get rid of…its hard to sleep, eat, and even think…why is that? Love must be the ultimate emotion because it does crazy things to our heads and bodies.
Personally I’m very picky about who I date and who I want to Love…so this emotion has only come over me a handful of times…but man o man is it something special…it’s the kind of feeling that gets your adrenaline just pumping away and you mind spinning.
Unfortunately for myself and prolly others, it can overwhelm you to do stupid things…like thinking way to far into the future and extrapolating just meeting someone into thinking about what marriage would be like and such…Love is truly a powerful emotion that it can make it hard to control yourself and just play it cool.
I’ve noticed that as I grow older I’m able to temper those feeling a bit better so I don’t get my heart broken or love passes me by…its not easy to quell those thoughts that can be perceived as kind of crazy and even somewhat obsessive…but it is so needed to keep the emotion of love in check until the time is right.
Also, over the years I’ve learned (of course I do still get over excited when love comes over me) to try and play it cool with love…but man o man, its so hard to not want to hang out with someone when you feel that Love…
Ultimately love is about finding the kind of community you want to be a part of and then just making friends and being yourself to see what happens…I’ve learned that you can’t look too hard for love because sometimes it will find you.
Women are so so smart in this area…they generally are the ones that choose the men they want to be with…as much as us guys think we have a choice in who we ultimately get to be with…I’ve found that it’s the ladies that choose their man. Which I’m totally cool with, and am looking forward to a new love I have blossoming…or if she doesn’t choose me, then hey life goes on…having a broken heart really sucks…but ultimately it helps you grow and prepare for when love comes knocking on your door next.
Have a great valentines day, and remember to cherish the people that love you and give all you can to love back :)
