The MisEducation of Love
Love [luhv]
–noun
1. a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.
2. a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend.
No where in that definition did it say pity or lust. Don’t get me wrong lust does play a role but if your acquaintance (let’s call it that) hasn’t gone past lust to the point where you simply enjoy being around the person all the time, then it’s not love. It’s just lust.
So many people ask me why I don’t have a boyfriend. Frankly, I have yet to find the guy that I feel is worth my time. And I know that might sound like I am an arrogant girl but I can’t settle and I won’t. I know no one person is perfect but I do believe there is someone perfect for someone else, which is why I choose not to settle.
I only use the L word when I am very sincere. I will never feel sorry for someone and think it’s love. It’s not it’s sympathy of heck even pity.
All I’m saying is relationships require plenty of work from both parties, let’s just take that seriously.
I’m done. Work in the morning. Just couldn’t sleep with all that on my chest.
