An ambilavent relationship with love

Imagen
The thing about love is that it's something we work so hard on it that we can't help but wonder when does really the effort on it overweights the reward. Love is a feeling is sometimes it makes us run to it and other times it makes us run from it. How do we know when it's love? How do we know when it's something else? How can we name that something else? Well, yes, in the human language we find a way to create bonds between words and objects, except when it comes to feelings. How can we describe love?! Sometimes I think love s that onstant need to be with the other person, that feeling of happiness and joy we get when we're with them, the unconditional desire to make them happy.

It's been actually some time since I've written about a place in the world I visited and there's a good reason for it: I needed some time to prepare for an amazeballs trip. And I did it.

Having a relationship w someone denying to tell the world how he feels like for me it's one of the most complicated things I've ever gone through, and I haven't spoken to my father in over a year and left home with nothing but a suitcase and no goodbyes to mention some of my weirdest moments... the last year. However, things have changed, love and desilusion changed me, along with having the world yelling at me to stop being so naive.  Have you ever noticed that if you burn your skin, over and over again, there's a point where your nerves get worn out and finally you stop feeling the fire so badly? I applies to the heart for both good and bad feelings. That's why we take for granted the people we love and at the same time we end up taking shit from the world basically out of habit. Nonetheless, we have a choice. We can choose what to stop feeling and star...
