Can't We Just Say It Already?

Watching television last night, I watched Charlie from Two and Half Men find his heart. Well, maybe not his heart, but he found a spot in an emotional desert that had not been breached in ages or maybe ever. He actually started missing another human being. I see this in others quite often in our society which shows how much we have cut off each other in our hardened world. Why have we become so latent in our emotions that we feel so little for the opposite sex? That we are afraid to tell the ones that we love or like with such ferocity that we are having those said emotions? Do we have such little faith in our own selves as of late that we do not feel that we will survive the ordeal if in fact it turns south? What if we do not take that chance and it was the chance of a lifetime? What if that was our Cinderella or Casablanca moment, are we just willing to watch that wither away for a fear of intimacy or rejection?

Seatbelt's Anyone?

Can we really just keep it simple? That is the question I am posed with at the moment. Can you keep something simple even though the history that is there is more profound then subtle? I talked previously about how things are different for each individual, however, when writing that I did not realize how hard those very true words would be. It is a agonizing ordeal to watch someone that is so close to your heart either hurt, have confusion, or just not realize what your feeling and you cannot talk to them about it for it will push them farther away. That your not expecting them to jump in the air and feel all the emotions you are, for that is just not life. If life were easy, it wouldn't be worth living. In all honesty, you just try to make the person feel special. To let someone know that they have touched another person in such a prolific way, who doesn't want to hear that?Life is just one big,complicated roller coaster ride, always moving always turning. If you don't have your seat belt on, it may just dump you at turn 3.

Romance and Movies.

Ok. I think it is safe to say that many of us have watched way too many old-fashioned romantic movies. I admit it, I am one of them. I am at least steadfast in knowing that no one is going to show up at my door telling me that the sun, moon, and stars revolves around my getting up every morning. Nor am I so stuck in my “Casablanca” world to think that that the one person is going to wake up one morning and realize that I am the one. Movies are a downfall and a weakness to the female agenda and a hardship to all males in the world. We tend to fall into the realm of thinking that THAT is how life should be, that we should be swept up in a whirlwind of romantic notions and dreamy settings that we can rekindle time and again. Would it be nice if we could have those moments, of course. However, I am starting to find that it is those little moments of “wonderful” that you get that are just as promising as what you would get from a “huge” production. There is just as much thought, or maybe not, into those little things. Maybe it was just a word or two, or a phone call, or maybe it was just a funny thing that happened on the way to the Forum… (Ha) but it was something. That something made you tingle and smile, and that was worth everything.
