What did I do to myself?

 

Okay, I know I’ve said it before, but I really must be some sort of masochist. I’ve been reading fanfics today, and 90% of them have been angsty, heart wrenching, and just plain soul-crushing. Now, I HATE Angst. I hate it, and I want nothing more than to wrap it up in a ball, throw it in a tank, seal it away and trap it in the deepest darkest crevices of the ocean. I hate it, yet I love it so much that I just want to…asddfghjkl

 OTL.

Oh, my sadistic tendencies. Why must love be so cruel? Why must it hurt? Why can’t we just walk up to a person, say “Hey, I like you, you like me.” And Boom! Romance.

But nooooo.

Life must be one twisted ed up, beautiful and heartbreaking cycle. You find someone who you think you want to be with, and no matter how much you try to convince them and yourself that this…what you have is forever, you can only sit back and hope you don’t get screwed over in the end. We’re all so helpless in the grand scheme of things, and that just…..

It makes you wonder why you should even try. You wonder why, yet you do try because love can be one of the most beautiful and ing fantastic things that we can experience in our lifetime. All of the adrenaline of jumping out of a speeding train, with as much pain and damage as a consequence.

It’s painful and cruel and heartless to even the most saintly of people. No one is too nice, too generous, or too lucky to not experience it. You feel like your heart is being ripped out, and no amount of time or comfort can cure it. A pain that beats out any physical injury.

Love has inspired and created movies, paintings, wars, suffering, books, music; everything. It makes up most of our day to day life, even if you don’t know it. Somewhere, someone is watching you from afar- too scared to tell you how much they want to hold you, kiss you and just cherish you.

Somewhere, someone is too scared to leave him, because even with the bruises and the violent words, the man she loved is still somewhere in there; she just knows it.

Somewhere, some man would do anything for her and sell his very soul to the devil just to make her happy, when all she wants to know is when his next paycheck is coming in, because she just has to have that new bag, and him if he can’t give it to her.

Somewhere, someone would give anything for just one more day. One more day to show them just how much they love them and want to spend the rest of their lives together. One more day because, they’re too young to die, and life and sickness are just too cruel.

As humans, we crave this. We crave the pain of not knowing, not being sure of our own happiness, because sometimes it makes living just so…real. Sometimes you give too much of yourself to a person, and sometimes you don’t give enough. There’s no guide out there that shows a clear cut way on how to love someone. People are so complex and different, that no two people ever love exactly the same way. We have so much pain and baggage in our lives that mold and shape the way we love ourselves, and pick the people who we want to love us.

How do you know how to love, if you never had anyone teach you how? How do you know you’re doing something right, when things could change so quickly?

You don’t.

You never do, but the only thing you can do is try. All we can all ever do is try, and hope that somewhere down the line after all of the mistakes and misunderstandings, that you were able to do something right. Something worked out right.

 

 

 

 

 

Gosh, so much angst has turned me into a poet. ORZ

My gosh, my heart, and now I feel like writing one shots, and the plot bunnies are attacking my brain, and I just. .

I’m am proof that too much angst in a short amount of time, and being an emotionally repressed child is not a good combination.

>8(

I think I need a hug now. XD

I think that if love was as simple as what we want it to be, it wouldn't be love at all. Instead, it would be loves jealous and popular cousin, Lust.

If love was as simple as an exchange of feelings, I would get bored. LOL. I wouldn't feel like it was real love if I didn't go through hardships.

I read a lot of angst too. LOLOL.I don't like fluff. I like it when the female and male leads both have to go through terrible feats just to be together. And the best endings are when the character dies and no one gets love ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ

Hahaha. But at the same time, I'm a hopeless romantic. That's why I love Shakespeare because it always has to do with romance and death ヽ(●゚´Д`゚●)ノ゚

I feel you, qurl.

This was incredibly beautiful. The way you were able to describe the pain of love, and how we as humans just hunger for it, even though we know it will hurt us...

And I completely understand how you feel. It's always fascinated me how much everything in our world revolves around love. In fact, the whole point of life is to love, is it not? So we spend our whole lives searching for it, hoping that we can find someone we love who will love us in return. And sometimes it works out, but sometimes it doesn't.

I do think you should write a couple oneshots to give yourself an outlet for all this emotion. In fact, now I'm inspired to write something myself, hahaha. There's just something about heartbreak that makes it so satisfying to write. I'm not even sadistic or anything. :/
I just like the realness of not getting what you want in love. Because goodness knows, that's what happens to most people I know almost all the time.

Here, have an internet hug! *hugsquishes you*
<strike>(also, if you're writing oneshots, do you want to write one for me? 8D)</strike>

Not a poet, dear; an analyst. A love analyst. Ahahaha! Do you know of "Letters to Juliet"? You have just reminded me of that movie, suddenly.

I have suddenly been reminded of the Trojan War because of your speech. When all this started because of men loving a beautiful woman named Helen. But in reality, it is not only love for another person that moves people to do crazy things. Love for one's possessions, for one's memories, for one's country to name a few. But love is crazy in itself already, so maybe that justifies everyone's behavior over such a thing.

But then again, maybe I shouldn't say these things because I have never even tried to be in love. It makes me somewhat hypocritical to say that love is beautifully deranged when I myself don't want to be in love. And yet everything I seem to write contains love stories! Go figure! But then again, love is a universal theme for writing already. It not only inspires, but keeps us motivated to do more because we, ourselves, anticipate what will happen to these little love stories we create.

P.S. Ooooh! One shots? :D Are you possibly giving some awaaaay? /shot

Your writing is... it's amazing. I don't have words to describe how much I loved it, and how much I can relate to this. I'm scared out of my mind by the thought of actually becoming completely vonourable someone and putting my heart on the line when I don't even know if it's gonna work or not. .__. And yeah, everyone needs a little angst sometimes, it's our inner masochist needs love to.. just kidding XD We need angst to understand how blessed we actually are, I guess.. Aish you explain this so much better then me!!

I'd travel to your house with tons of chocolate, a warm real-life hug and a kidnapped bias of your choice.. (for some reason I always resort to kidnapping...)

( = ^__^ = )!!! Cheer up my beautiful, talented, gorgeous, amazing Unnie!!
