Love + Life = Good Times
Love is what we are. Love is what we're made of. Life is the time we have as individuals. Life is the state of being.
Without love there is no reason to exist, because without love, we are nothing. I strongly feel that love is the only thing that exists and yet, it is nothing. We actually have no idea what it is and without it, what is really the point in living if only to die? If you aren't loving then your wasting your time.
It's almost like living for the weekends... if you hate your job and every week you can't wait for the weekend. Then every day your off you dread going back. So you have five days of your life you dread and two you love but fear on those days, the end of them. Interesting life you would live, yet almost everyone does it.
My mother's best friend for example, hated her job. She hated her job so much that everyday she would count the days down till her retirement, even when she wasn't close to it. We are talking years and years and years, here. So, starting close to 20-ish years to retirement she would get up and mark it off the calendar every morning. Well, when the time came for her retirement two things happened: First, she realized that she was old and wasted allll that time she had worrying about the future. Second, she was diagnosed with cancer and was given 6 months to live. She did not love her life now. She was planning on loving her life in the future. She was like so many who plan on loving their life on the weekends.
So, this is where we are. If you aren't living your life, having fun, and loving everything that happens to you in your life: your probably wasting it.
But then again, you know what I say about advice.
So back to love. It would be wise to fall in love with yourself soon, because I think your gonna be stuck with you forever.

dayna: Good to meet your aquaintance, darling. It's all how you feel about it, not anything else. Thank you for your comments!
je t'aime: "For where thou art, there is the world itself, and where though art not, desolation." (from Henry VI Act III Scene II)(in reference to love)
Wherever love goes, everything is perfect. When there is no love, there is nothing... Love is everything, darling! *mwah!*
That is so true - but I think sometimes life is a series of trade-offs and compromises to get you to a position where you are happy but not ecstatic, can do with more but not poor. For example, if my sole passion in life is travelling and career opportunities are limited in that field, I'd have to work in something I'm probably less passionate about to earn the money, which will then let me indulge in my passion. To think that we can live everyday life doing what we are passionate in without sacrifices may be an idealistic illusion. Be that as it may, there is wisdom and truth in what you said. Keep it up!
PS I LOVE the falling snow flakes - wish I were clever enough to do the same on my blog!!
