    I wrote this back in '04 or maybe even earlier than that.. well enjoy and be nice! =)


    When those three little words are spoken, they aren’t so little any more. In my life, those words were spoken to me many times, mostly from family who care about me a great deal. The others are the guys in whom have instantly fallen in love with me, if only it was that easy. I was told it from four guys. If they meant it, I will never know. It seems like it’s part of the routine in a relationship. A relationship is like a club, everybody wants to get in, but only a few come in to enjoy themselves. Love is something that people use or have in their lives. I believe everybody goes through the feeling of love at least once in their life, considering I’m sure it’s probably a dozen times. However, if it’s meant for any consideration, when are the words, “I love you” is the real true love you see in those romance movies or are we just faking ourselves out?

    The real deal of love is something you have never felt before, as we have been told all of our lives. How do we know if it’s true? There is this quote that people completely go their beliefs by, “Don’t know if it’s real love until they gone”. It’s a sad and rather depressing quote where you don’t know for yourself if it is or not until it may be too late. What kind of luck that may be to find your true love and you can’t really enjoy it. Should we enjoy love or rather just hope for the day when we are still in the relationship and we can really enjoy with the other person. Love is such a tricky thing that it fools about every single person who has tempted to fall in love. It’s a dangerous thing that has people addicted to it. It’s the new caffeine buzz that people are always raving about, but who really is feeling it? It’s bias to say that we all feel it, because some people just say it for the advantage those words have over people.

    Do we really need to fall in love to find true happiness? From everything you read, it seems like it’s the newest trend, fall in love and then life is complete. It could be that you have spent all your life working on certain goals and do what you want, but if love falls in your lap, are you going to pass it up? Hardly. Love is unexpected, good feeling that everybody wants to experience. On the other hand, love can be the worse feeling in the world in the aftermath of things going wrong. Love is probably one of the most sought out things people want in their lives. It’s something that is needed and wanted by practically everybody. But why? We just want to feel wanted by somebody who cares about us. We want somebody to call when we need and that hug we need when we are having a bad day.

    Love has so much that comes along with it when it is used for all the right reasons, and not to be used to get some ass. Love is packaged with trust, honesty, and security. Everything that most girls want. They feel like in order to have a good life, they follow the blueprint of living life, by falling in love, which is usually falls in place between college and the real world. Like most things, nothing ever goes right the first time around. When expectations are high, you may end up disappointing in the situation and in yourself. We tend to put ourselves into so much hype when love is involved. It’s crazy to think that, but when we are in the moment, we do anything possible. It’s in our genes to fight for what we want, especially that little thing called love. If we are lucky, we can have our cake and eat it too.

    Hey I really like what you just wrote !

    I have a really cool link you might like. It points to segments of a book called "A Lover's Discourse" by Roland Barthes (famous french literary critic and philosopher) and attempts to analyse love into component parts from wanting love to getting love and follows the paths to staying in love or falling out and is done in a fascinating way through small chunks of writing (a paragraph or so each time by 4 or 5 famous writers (sometimes his own thoughts)) I think you will instantly love it as I do.

    This is a particularly badly laid out webpage out I suggest you look for the book at your local bookstore or find a good copy online
    http://www.koolpages.com/almalaika/Barthes.html

    'A Lover's Discourse: Fragments' (original title: Fragments d’un discours amoureux), written by Roland Barthes, contains a list of "fragments", some of which come from literature and some from his own philosophical thought, of a lover's point of view. Barthes calls them "figures" -- gestures of the lover at work.

    no problem, one thing I have always thought is that, A lovers discourse is his idea of how an author should approach writing fictional love stories

    I also enjoyed your work, and hope you post some more as your inspiration hits you. I often find that female writers have a different quality to male writers, and that we all have something to teach each other. As a reader, not a writer, it's always fascinating to see things from a completely different perspective to our own.

    The only other female writers in here I can think of who have visited recently was myself who is working on a psychological novel, and a German student called Muller Rice who one minute seems happy then the next is depressed (or is it a german characteristic? I'm not sure).

    I think it will be good if we can get this writers community working again so that we can correct and improve each other along the way. The last lot that me and Sentient made famous don't even bother post a hello any more! But the recent writers seem to be a far more talented bunch. What with dd, and LA Matthews, and now dz, myself, muller.

    The new era is here!

    Romantic love is when Number One (myself) becomes Number Two. The beloved is now Number One. That is, her wants and needs (since I'm a guy) become in every way more important than my own.

    In some cases, looking at this from a distance, this situation can be comical or even sad. If romantic love is not returned, that's painful, and the best thing to do usually is fall out of love and forget about it and move on. If it is returned, then we have marriage and babies and everyone living happily ever after.

    Since you're not at all hard to look at, dylanzeppelin, I think you won't have too many problems in this department -- it's just a matter of choosing wisely. If you're in the neighborhood (Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada), come on over and we can watch educational videos together...
