Thoughts in my head

Aug 07, 2007 19:27

If you are not in the mood for a semi depressing rant, I am going to cut this for you. You don't have to read it if you don't want to, I am not looking for sympathy, but if you wish to offer it I am not going to refuse it either. You have been warned, only because I love you guys.

( Speaking of love )

Of course you should continue your blog. It's one of the real ones with real feelings. I DO NOT find "happy all the time people" very amusing, or believable. But thats just me, heh.

As for the love thing...I dont know. Life throws these fucked up things your way for a reason, maybe a test of strength, who knows. Wish I could offer something insightful, but I can't. All I can say is the timeline is different for all of us...

I appreciate it on the love thing, it is just one of those observations that I tend to make that sort of rattles in my head. Someone might have that magical answer if I put it out there for someone to hear, I think I need to have a chat with my ladies at work tomorrow on this and see what they say.

And thanks for the nod to keep the blog going. Like I said, this wasn't about searching for approval but I certainly didn't want it to be "Oh god, Matt is talking again".

me being such a youngin i don't think i can offer any helpful words as i know about dick on the subject...

but on a lighter note i deffinetlly second the motion to keep the blog going because like the above stated its one of the only "real" ones and its one of my only contacts with you all the way over here in new mexico haha

Don't sell yourself short man, just cause you are young doesn't mean you don't have vast untapped wisdom to dole out!

dead_filmaker August 9 2007, 02:11:15 UTC

haha this may be true but seeing as how i ahve had one real girlfriend i might not be the fore most authority on the subject i can how ever see what you are saying and feeling very cleary since i have only had one such relationship

The day I want to hear only happy stuff from people is the day I'll realise I've become so shallow I'd rather go on a shooting rampage or something ... There's nothing there. Life isn't about being happy all the time, it'd quickly lose its appeal.

As for love - yes it does exist but I do not think love is always unconditional, and I think it's perfectly possible for parents and children to alienate and not love each other (anymore). Love hits you though ... it's not something you can make or force ... it's a feeling. But even when it's not reciprocated, it's still love.

I agree, and I am glad that I get to see the full range from everyone. If anyone had a problem, they would have dropped me already, I know this... But it doesn't hurt to check.

As far as the love goes, you are right that it is love even when it isn't returned, but it isn't love for others and those that evaluate your own existence by "love" or "family" or anything else gets slightly annoying. Always tough to be outside of the herd, as it were... Thanks for the kind words though, they are good for me to digest.

Awww...

I love ya! Remember in one of my memes we were married ;-)

I'm not trying to be flip, or make light of an obviously depressing moment...

I do love ya though.

leifvignirsson August 9 2007, 00:34:27 UTC

No, no... I am not worried about you being flip, I remember that post and I remember that my meme said I would marry you as well. That was a good memory and it made me smile at work today. Thanks!

Still waiting for my e-mail...

Many tell me NOT to look for it and it will come to you. Others tell me I have to be ever vigilant and pounce on it like a mighty thrusting warrior of love!I think it's probably somewhere in between... be open and vigilant when it comes, enough to act on an opportunity. After all, you won't meet anyone if you don't ever put yourself out there and socialize. But on the other hand, you have to let things progress naturally because anxiously overanalyzing or forcing something to happen isn't a good idea either ( ... )

leifvignirsson August 9 2007, 00:37:22 UTC

Yeah, parenting and I don't get along just as much as love and myself at the moment... heh.

As far as that quote, you are right. It is a mix of the two and one just has to learn to balance it, but then one also has to know what it is when it is there... Did I mention that I was completely oblivious...? Like COMPLETELY?

Thank you for your kind words though, I do appreciate it
