She nudges him. He
pushes her. She laughs too loud. He speaks as if orating in an
auditorium. I am annoyed. They stop to hug and wrestle and act, poorly
I may add, so the world will notice them and I have to wonder. What do they want me to notice?
That they have found one another? I’m not so sure that is any great coup, but perhaps to them it
is. Each of us seems to be constantly
searching.
I wonder about that too.
Are we looking for some missing part, or perhaps just something to
enhance what we have? What do we expect
from these connections everyone seems wildly bent on achieving?
There are worse things than being alone and an awful lot of
“couples” can tell you what they are.
Reality is much harder to deal with than happily ever after,
because what makes people “happy” changes quite frequently and what sounds good
in theory can get old fast.
Loving someone else is almost impossible if you've got to jump hurdles and leap tall buildings to get past yourself. Self love, self understanding, needs to come first. Once you know who you are, you are ready to get to know someone else. After all, you can’t really love anyone from the bottom of your
heart until you’ve been there.
