What is love?

I'll give you a minute to finish singing the tune that's now in your head.......................................................................... Finished? Probably not, but whatever. At least stop doing the head bob so you can read this properly. ...thank you. Now, moving along. It's V-Day. That "oh, so magical day of celebrating true love, sending flowers, and wining and dining the fuck out of someone special". I mean, come on...it doesn't get any more romantic than this one day that seems as though it comes every year. Right?? If you said yes, then CONGRATULATIONS! You're probably an idiot. Sorry. No balloons, confetti or attractive woman giving you a prize. If you're someone who's not only romantic on Valentine's day, but also every day, then hold your hand up because I just sent a high five your direction. But if you're one of those people who waits until this one day to send someone flowers, ask someone out or tell someone how much they mean to you...sit in a corner an get some ice. Because I just punched your direction. And I punch hard, dickweed. Girls: if you're pissed that you're alone today or that a guy/girl didn't ask you out...just remember. It's a two way street, expecting everything and giving nothing is unfair. Guys: if you waited until today to send flowers or be romantic towards your current partner...you're an idiot. And you need to step it the hell up. Love isn't about a holiday, chocolates, flowers or candlelight dinners. It's deeper than that. It isn't enough to say "I love you" either. Love isn't an emotion. It's a verb. An action. A mixture of all the emotions you feel towards someone. But not an emotion in itself. Anyone can say "I love you". I can say it to my hairdryer (yes, I own one. Don't judge) but that doesn't mean I love it. How do you know you love someone? By what you do around them or for them. You treat them like they're the center of your world. You constantly think about them. You hold the door for them, you hold their hand for no reason, etc. You base your life off of them. They're the reason for your existence, and loving someone means to prove to yourself and them exactly that. "love" is just a word until you give it life. Showing all of your emotions that someone makes you feel; happiness, gratitude, compassion, hope, sadness, bliss, innocence, determination...that's what love is. Love is an action. Analogy: your emotions are the gifts that you want to give, and love is the box you put them in. The action of giving that gift. That's love. So please, don't wait until this one day to give that gift. Give it everyday. SHOW them that you love them, otherwise it's just empty words. The most romantic days are always the ones you don't plan. And the best kind of love is the kind you can see. <3 - Posted using BlogPress from a really intelligent rectangle.

Controversial

"There is no God" "Gay marriage is a sin" Common ground for these topics? Religion. One of the biggest topics of controversy is religion. Religious arguments are some of the most opinionated, stubborn and close-minded topics of discussion. And I say fuck that. Pardon my single-syllable harshness, but seriously. These days, it's getting ri-donkey-dick-ulous. There. More syllables to fire up your inner rebel. Soak it in. But really. I'm sick of the fact that everyone is so rude when it comes to other peoples beliefs. I actually had a chat about this with a friend today, and I just HAD to share my thoughts. After all, this is MY blog. And I'm in one of those moods. The mood to slam the keys on my computer. But I'm not using it this time. So my anger is transferred to my iPhone keypad. And lemme tell you, my thumbs are going to look good in their swimwear this summer... Anyways, back on topic. Look around. Listen. Ask. Religion is so over-emphasized. And why? Because everyone thinks they're right. Well you're not. Not at all. You're far from it. You're a prepubescent, moist-muffined, scurvy callous on the scrotum of society. Your religion isn't the only religion in the world. Fact. So who's to say your religion is right? Intriguing thought. Boom. Am I saying your religion is wrong? No. I'm saying that you need to accept that other religions exist, and that it's rude and unfair to think yours is the shit, and all the other religions must succumb to your ways. No. That's why there's such segregation and racism in this world. Because of intolerance and closed minds. I personally don't really believe in any religious deity or faith system. But I don't think anyone else's spiritual (or non) belief is wrong. It's not. It can't be wrong. Why? Because its THEIR PERSONAL BELIEF. You know, freedom of self and all that shit. Some people believe in God, some in Allah, some in Buddha and some might even believe in Spock. Who are we to say either one of those is right, and everyone else can suck it? We're not anybody. It's called "faith" for a reason. Because it's OURS to have. I don't need your permission to think that gay marriage should be legal. And if you want to keep it from happening, then make divorce illegal. Since divorce "destroys the sanctity of marriage" just like gay marriage APPARENTLY will do. Which is dumb. A person is a person. Capable of love just as much as anyone else. Who cares who they love? Let them love who they want. You can't take away someone's personal beliefs and opinions, because it's NOT YOURS. You don't think gay marriage is ok? Fine. That's your right. You're allowed to believe that. But don't go around thinking it's your right to control how everyone else should live their religious lives and personal opinions. The same goes for the other side. Don't preach about "being more understanding and accepting us for who we are" then saying that all Christians, Catholics and whoever the fuck else are a bunch of righteous assholes. Because they aren't. That's an assumption, just like they're doing. So you're no better. My point is, believe what you want to believe. Have faith in whatever you want. Hell, try out every religion or belief system if you want, but DON'T try to force it upon others or think that you are superior to the others in any way at all. In the end, we all die. No one has SOLID evidence of what happens next. That's why it's called FAITH. Me? I don't know what will happen. And I don't care. Because when it happens, it happens. There's no stopping it. There could be an afterlife, or I could cease to exist completely. But for now, I'm living. And I will live like it's the only chance I have, because it very well could be. But I refuse to cut down your beliefs and opinions. I refuse to say you're wrong. And I REFUSE to think I'm better than you. I'm opening my eyes, because that's what I believe in. <3 - Posted using BlogPress from a really intelligent rectangle.
