romance?
How can my parents who will be married for 39 years this april still hold hands and kiss each other? I can not comprehend how they still love each other after all this time. I also cannot understand how I grew up with such parents that are so in love, in fact not one member in my entire family is divorced. Everyone has had a long lasting, loving marriage. Yet I am so cynical when it come to love and romance. In fact what the hell is romance? because to me its just something from my parents generation. I feel like romance is as rare as needle in a haystack and love is as rare as a diamond in the.. You know where I"m going with this. (He point I am making is I, one who grew up with a man bringing home a woman flowers just because, and parents who did adore each other is more screwed than parents who ended in divorce. Before you jump me let me give my point of view. My parents gave me this completely unrealistic idea of how love is suppose to be. Now that I am a 23 year old woman I have learned all men suck and the love my parents have for each other does not exist in this generation. People lie, cheat whatever, not just men but woman too. I have my faults so do all the men from my past. Love has become like a business plan. People do not follow their gut or their heart, that world be as foolish as following a hunch in business. Love has become something that one weighs and measures the cost and pain ahead of time before they make the decision to follow through. No more sending flowers, notes, chocolates, putting in any effort for the person your care about. My father said he would have flown anywhere if my mother was there. My mother said she knew by the first date he was the one. Today that just doesn't exist. So thank you dad because you know what the fathers that show their daughters how bad can men suck are bad but the dads who show how good men are and just the men you know bad are pretty sucky too. In the words of my dear friend nicole marci "men suck.. Buy me a drink"

Hey I didn't know you had a blog site.
ReplyDeleteThis is my feeling of love.
I grew up the same way you did so I believe love does exist you just have to find the right person. I haven't found the right person yet either but that doesn't mean I'm going to give up on love. I know there are so many jerks out there but there are also some people who aren't jerks. I've been with girls in the past who were assholes but I know the right person is out there for me somewhere. I think that there is definitely someone out there for you as well, I mean you are a very pretty girl so you will find someone. I mean yeah times have changed since the old days with our parents but I think that kind of love still exists, I mean if two people love each other so much they will make the effort to keep loving each other. I know if I truly loved someone I will definitely make the effort to keep on going with the person I love. I've been screw so many times in the past with girls, it always seem that I was making more of an effort than they were and it did kill me inside but I'm still not going to give up on love.
