You know what .. I am happy.. and I feel like there is still hope… and someday .. somehow .. I’m gonna be.

What is love ? When does love start and when does it end ?

I was talking with a friend, his relationship (that lasted 3 years and some months) ended a couple of weeks ago. He is dating a new guy, and they already became boyfriends. Now, he was asking me on whether he should tell his ex about this new found love or not. He’s afraid about the reaction of his ex when he tells about the new boyfriend.

Isn’t love about caring, about respect, about friendship ? or is it just about sex and having company ?

Can you love someone you just met ? or it’s just some stupid infatuation that will develop into something else (love or not) later in time. I’ve seen this happen many times.

I believe when someone is supposed to be the most important person in your life, because you are sharing your life with him, it’s obvious to me that that won’t end just because you hate the fucking guts ot your ex. The love continues, or at least that’s what have happened with me.. I’ve kept on loving and I still do.

Things will get complicated from here on, my brother just arrived home, hope he doesn’t stay long. I can’t wait until I go away. I don’t understand why I stayed here for so long. I feel like if a new weight was added on my back.

The episode involved a letting go, a feeling of closure, a sense of good-bye. This was in no way frightening or terrible, but in fact, it was peaceful and warm, and added a sense of richness to my experience of life.
