Love fucks you.
It fucks you whether you have it or you don't; whether you're sixteen or sixty; and it fucks you no matter where you travel on Earth.
After a "difficult" three year relationship, I found myself travelling about as far away as possible: from Canada to Australia. I had a clear mindset at departure, which left little room for anything other than drinking, self-discovery (usually with the help of drinking), and cheap fornication (also aided by drinking... and sexy accents).
Inexplicably, I've been sensing a strange feeling welling up inside me. It's usually accompanied by thoughts. Strange thoughts. Thoughts I hadn't felt in years, before ending up in a serious relationship. The kind of thoughts that idealistic, naive, lovers have.
A year ago, if my girlfriend had asked me to skip a baseball game/workout session/anything almost at all, in order to do something for her, I would have reacted with a lugubrious and dramatic, "Fuck."
But now... now I'm longing beyond all rational thought to find a girl to walk home, getting drenched in the rain while she wears my coat; a blank girl, I suppose. Someone that I can be the generic, gallant guy with.
When you're in love, any old girl is someone for whom sacrifices are made happily, not out of obligation.
It's funny, because I know that while I feel this, objectively, I am an idiot.
All my judgement tells me that, at eighteen, I'd have to be fucked-up to choose a serious relationship over the freedom of single life.
But that doesn't stop me from wanting to fuck myself over with some dizzying romantic notions, or from craving that sweet, safe, deceptive fog of love.

You misunderstood. I mean making love to other people.

You were in a relationship with him, though?
There's people I love that I don't mind if they love other people more or whatever.
But it's just so fucking fine a balance between that healthy love and jealous relationship love.

No what fucks you, is when they're loving someone else aswell.

Fuckin' love.
I think that I'm missing something here though...
Love = amazing feeling
What fucks you really... are relationships.

"If ever words were spoken
Painful and untrue
I said I loved but I lied
In my life
All I wanted
Was the keeping
Of someone like you
As it turns out
Deeper within me
Love was twisted and pointed at you
Never ending pain, quickly ending life --
You keep this love, thing, child, toy
You keep this love, fist, scar, break
You keep this love, love, love.
You keep this love, love, love.
You keep this love.
I'd been the tempting one
Stole her from herself
This gift in pain
Her pain was life
And sometimes I feel so sorry
I regret this the hurting of you
But you make me so unhappy
I'd take my life and leave love with you
I'd kill myself for you, I'd kill you for myself --
You keep this love, thing, child, toy
You keep this love, fist, scar, break
You keep this love, love, love.
You keep this love, love, love.
You keep this love.
No more head trips"

Meandering and neurotic, but otherwise rather good.

Yeah, definitely.
Damn womanly impulses.
I think it's because I'm so poor here in Sydney I haven't had enough beef (jerky) in my diet to sustain a high manliness level.
I know, I know, it should be innate.
But living on instant noodles, toast, and water?
Something's gotta give.

If you learn nothing else other than this, you've done okay. There is no such thing as a serious relationship at 18. Time will bear this out.

I've been there, and in fact still is, there before.
When you get jaded with life and bogged down with the nitty-gritty of life like going to work in a lousy job and paying mountain high bills, then of course you'd say 'bullshit' to love. But that's because you don't believe anymore, and you don't give a damn whether anyone else can be more important and you or your miserable life.
If you've been out there, putting someone else before yourself, wanting to give even if you don't get anything back, you'll know what this guy means. You'll know how it feels.
Even if that feeling is transient or what you may call 'silly', trust me, its a joy to see someone you care for happy. And it's a joy to care for and love someone.

i haven't been this trashed in a long time. i have officially coughed up blood. i haven't done that because of drinking since Austin '02. it's either because of TB or having way too much fun.

I'd like to think that sometimes there's a "point" to things that are intangible.
There's ALWAYS something more PRODUCTIVE one could be doing... but productivity doesn't mean a fulfilling life.

Hahaha love is boring, cliched and selfish. How about showing some respect for your family, or helping your community, instead of moping around holding hands with some girl.

Love doesn't fuck you, son. You fuck it.
Reach down deep and find the intestinal fortitude to persevere.
And while you're down there, how about a quick blowjob?

You're going to be crucified for this but I understand the sentiment and I was 18 once and hey I'm a girl and I wish you the best.
