warm up
while making up english warm ups that i've neglected to do for the past two weeks because i think the excercise is a bunch of bullshit, i decided to write this in response to friday's question:
it is one day out of three hundred and sixty five days of the year.
it is this one day that florists, godiva chocolatier owners, and hallmark corporations take advantage and capitalize over our idealistic hopes. hollywood makes a big drama production out of love - all it does is cause false impressions for the public. we have this instilled dream drilled inside us that make us feel like our soul mate or true love will be found on this day, feb. 14th. what makes people feel that TODAY that person must be found? and if they don't have someone today, they gripe about being lonely and single for the rest of their lives. love is interactive. it will not just walk down the sidewalk and accidentally bump into the person saying, "i'm sorry - hey, you're the person i'm supposed to fall in love with for the rest of my life" as you look into their eyes. love at first sight is a bunch of idealist bullshit.
i think it just has something to do with our brains that evokes this strong feeling from the beginning. when people meet one another for the first time, sometimes they mention about how "from they minute [they] met...[they] knew." they knew what? i guess if there's a good sure feeling, that connection or chemistry starts it off right and a friendship/relationship is built on that. sometimes it leads to love. in other cases, it leads to cases of divorce, pedophiles, and stalkers ;D
sure, love exists. but in what actual format? i'm unaware or unfamiliar with it. the butterflies in your stomach tying your insides into knots? it THAT love? or just your brain going gaga over someone's physical appearance and charismatic persona? whatever. someone find out the formula and let me know. ASAP. i need to know what this current thing is - now.
