Better off alone...?

We humans spend about 10 or 20 years looking for love. Love, that crazy fever that can rock the world and make you act stupidly. However, how much do we really need love? We are born in a family that not always we like, we're supposed to love them. We become teenagers and we're supposed to look for a "mate" to love. And then we're supposed to grow up and have a new family and love them. But... what if I don't want to? I mean, what if we don't need to?  Or at least, do we need to love every single moment of our lives? I've been wondering the same question ever since I realized that I'm happy. Maybe loving someone is not what you need to be happy. Turning dreams true makes you happy. Traveling makes you happy. Having sex makes you happy. Some people might say that that kind of happiness is vain because it will fade away eventually, but what if you just don't tell it fade away? 
Everyone say love is like a drug. Don't they all teach us in high school that drugs are "bad"? When you love, you let that person to be part of you. So, what happen when it ends? Let's think of marriage, 1 out of 2 marriages end up in divorce. Let's do some maths, how many broken hearts do we get out of it? How much money do the other half of that "happily married" people spend on couple therapy? I would use tha money to travel and go wherever I want - not we want. And sex... oh, everyone's guilty pleasure! Do you know the difference between love and sex? Well, let's me put it this way; sex is like that easy game you play at the carnival, everyone "win" and get a little present that take home and maybe never use, in the other and love is that really hard game that you play over and over again, spend a lot of time and effort trying to win, but only 1% of all the players win, so does it worth it? Probably it does, probably it doesn't. Who knows? I just blame those Hollywood films for putting fairy tales ideas in our head.
So... screw love, if it ever comes around, let's enjoy it while it last, becuase the odds show us that is not the best investment. Again it's like a drug, fun at the begging, you run into it or not, and after a while you need rehab and after it you realize you can live without it and still be happy.

A prior birthday epiphany

I'm actually less than an hour I'm turning 23 and it's been quite a journey. in less than a year I went from heaven to hell back and forth so many times I lost count. I went from being surrounded b pole I loved in a way I never expected to being a stranger in my own hometown. To losing myself and learning about the kid I used I see in the mirror, to being happy to let the sadness tear me up from the inside.  Yes, I grew up, I was surprised, I allowed myself to be dissapointed by people for one last time, I let the wall keeping me away from falling for a guy down. They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, I say fight back. There are lessons I must never forget, and I mean it when I say never. The first comes to friends. Friends are magical beings that appear in your life and are loyal to you no matter what. They'd take the bullet for you. They'd swallow their sadness to cheer you up. Friends are beyond time and space, beyond destiny and destinations...

First time

There are many first times. We crave them. Our first time outside the coutry, first time on our own, first time doing something crazy, or simply "the" first time. However, there are first times we don't know they are first times 'till it's too late. For example, our first time truly in love. When we're teenagers we have crushes, we think they are our first loves till we realize they're not. As we grow older we have our first kiss and, well, hopefully later, our first time. What we seem to forget is that we rarely share all those first times with the same person, that only happens in movies. Our first love comes later, when we know ourselves, when we less expect it. Our first love comes when you less expect it, that moment when you're off guard, when you might not want to be in love, when love is too silly to believe in.  As we grow older we meet new and more interesting people and there's someone, someone with whom you share a certain connecti...

To The Object Of My Affection

I, from another land, met you in the summer, and you from another time, made your way as my lover,  I was reckless and didn't see the moon,  shining brighter, gravitating around you, and though I, I never was one for strings attached. l let you in, to be part of my life. Later the fall came, turning leaves in red, and so promises were made, nice things were said. It showed me that usual as you there are few, Cause you know no season, they avoid you, And though I, I never was one for sharing, Let me say, when you sleep, I lay staring. Finally an early winter came and it's far gone, I had no idea what was it like not spend it alone, I get it now, we're just outlaws of love, running away from anyone with a soul. And though I never was one for happiness, I summon thee and farewell loneliness.
