Let me give it to you straight, straight like an arrow.
I’ve had these words stuck in my head for some time now. Lyrics from the titular Dears track I first heard in university, back when I would go home in the summer and watch The Wedge on Friday nights.
I know that’s awfully cynical to say, but I need proof that it is possible today.
I just wish I could accept that fact. I’m starting to wonder if that’s why I keep hearing the words in my head. It’s my subconscious reminding me, keeping me grounded.
It’s the same story, where guy sees girl, falls in love, and happily ever after. In between, there’s always the overused plot element of the guy winning over the girl by revealing himself and his feelings. After all, this alone is enough to win any girl over, regardless of whether she found him attractive or not, she was married or single, or he was the nerd and she was the cheerleader.
But love doesn’t exist in real life, as much as I want to believe that it does.
Not for me, anyway.
I told my boyfriend that I loved him and he said it back. A few weeks after, he changed his mind, even though things were going great, making me realize that I never really loved him either.
Love is supposed to be an unconditional and unchanging attachment between people. Non?
Well, I have yet to have any proof of it. Prime examples of my disbelief are my parents’ relationship with each other, me, and my siblings, my boyfriend’s feelings, and my dynamic heart.
I wonder if you can love someone without the other person feeling the same. Is there such a thing of love at first sight?
I still think it’s possible as I felt this when I first met my therapist 4 years ago and I still feel an unconditional love for her even when after I told her and she sort of pushed me away. I still see her as my therapist and have hope someday we will be married.
Isn’t ‘love’ just endorfine in your body which makes you high/stoned whenever you see your ”soulmate”? anyway, I don’t believe there is love… people only use eachother to satisfy themselves I believe. They’re searching their whole life for ‘the one’, but why? Is it mandatory to get together, live together, make children and have this ‘illusion’ of happiness for the rest of your live? If it is, why? Why would you want to be with someone who only uses you for his/her own life… as if you’re an object… Another answer could be lust, which is still using someone. This world REALLY makes no sense at all.
LOVE: it surely is one feeling that seems to puzzle us all. I was in a relationship for 4 years, and put in everything that I had into it! Suddenly ‘my’ man decided that he wanted to move out to be in a different country to be with his family…within a year he was married to someone else and apparently had told ‘her’ that he loved her more than he did anyone else, at the same time telling me that he was being emotionally blackmailed by his family to marry her!
Love, or what seems like it- makes us do the strangest things, yet it’s a myth that we force ourselves to believe in! In today’s world, it’s hard to trust someone easily and Love comes with the trust and faith we build in each other.
Really the people that we sometimes put all out faith in never reciprocate and turn out to be manipulative and unworthy. Love for me never existed even when I thought I was ‘In Love’ because it was just a hogwash!
Fuck Love, It is nothing more then an illusion to reproduce and procreate. People just want to use one another, marriage is another LIE. Don’t ever get married because it is not worth it. You really think your wife or husband really cares about you? They are just liying and cheating behind your back so fuck society. Fuck this stupid fake world it’s full of shit. Don’t fall in love with anyone but yourself.
there is no such thing as love ‚fuck love , its nothing but our hormones telling us to fuck like animals and we validated it with emotions to make us feel better so sick of this shit for fucks sakes !!!!
I agree. Technically love is what is known as ‘Bullshit’. It’s all a scam. I don’t live for ‘love’. I live for death
Love is a bunch of crap. At the most its a chemical reaction from oxytocin. Your right about Hollywood portraying it as real though.
if love does exist how can such thing as cheating exists?
People “cheat” because they’re HORNY GENIUS!!!
Humans need to heed interactions amongst animals in the wild. Animals come together to procreate — not to cohabitate. Funny how they understand that they are never intended to stay together. There are just to many differences between the human male and female brain to think it would ever possibly work. I do believe that love exists from parent to child or between family members but I do not believe in any kind of meaningful love between couples.
No such thing as love its all about sex and atraction
I agreed, there is no such thing as true love it’s just an illusion.
Fuck the love but belive in humanity
of course.
