That's The Way Love Goes

Like a moth to a flame burned by the fire...

Some stories I've been hearing this week have gotten me weary on the idea of love: betrayal, backstabbing, carelessness, unrequited love...

All stories that equate to heartache. And through all of it, is anyone looking for true love anymore?

I'll let you in on one of those stories: My friend Beth broke up with her boyfriend just this week. So she went on a date about a day later (yes, first mistake). She thought she had a fabulous time with the guy, only to find out a day later that her roommate/friend had secretly been talking to him/ready to snatch him and took the guy away. Very shady. They both screwed Beth over, basically. Of course, the guy is texting her now, asking "Hey, why don't you want to go on a date with me anymore?"

What is the point of it all? Insecurity plays a role. But is anyone honest anymore? Do people even care about love anymore, or is it more about getting attention?

*breathe*

Now, I'm not so jaded. Remember, I told you guys I was healed of past heartache, and I do believe in a thing called love, to quote the Darkness. But I wonder sometimes...what is wrong with the world?!?

Maybe if people stopped acting like idiots, they would realize that there is so much more to live for. So much.

If I believe in a God, I have to believe there is a genuine love out there...
