This is kind of long.. but this is my first post on prose.. and I'm not sure if it really fits the category but I have others sort of like this but I don't want to post too much at one time.. just tell me what you think. In the past I have written about love, and loss. You always hear songs about love and not letting go, and how to hold on... but if it isn't love then these words of wisdom will not help. These songs are something we listen to when we are sad or depressed but it doesn't make it better. I know, that they say it's ok to feel sorry for yourself every once in a while and I agree. Some of these lyrics are saying to move on and forget about it, but I once read that trying to forget someone is like trying to remember someone you've never met... it's hard, confusing, full of trouble, but most of all impossible. You can't just forget about someone because they're always going to be in the back of your head, and in some cases your heart. You finally find something to make you happy and then all of a sudden it walks out of your life. Sometimes it wants back in, but how to deal with this is more difficult then it seems. Some things feel right and others don't. There's all these pet peeves you have but it really shouldn't matter. If it does then there is probably more to it. I'm in no shape to be giving any advice on relationships but I believe that the heart knows what's best. The hard part is learning how to listen. You've heard the saying 'My head is saying one thing but my Heart another.' Well sometimes this is true but it's most often to be believed as split mind. You have two sections of your mind. You can split it up half and half. Just like the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body and vice versa. The decisions that we have to make always have at least two sides. Sometimes it is our heart speaking but the way of knowing that is only known to those you have the ability to listen. This probably sounds really stupid but I don't know if I'm writing this from my heart or my head which leads me to say that I, too, have not completely found myself and who I am, but I finally know where I'm going. Life is full of suprises and shocks. Sometimes we are offended by the simplist things and we let too many things bother us. This advice is mostly to myself but it seems that the thing with advice is it is something you ask for when you know what you have to do and just wish you didn't. It's hard to follow anyone's advice but have you ever noticed that it's much more difficult to take your own. It seems like when you come to the point that you need advice everything that matters doesn't anymore. It's hard for me to find and keep someone and I believe that many other people are the same way. It's hard to except your defeats and try to do better the next time. I'll love you forever is a phrase used a lot. Forever is not very long from where I'm standing. There is really no way of explaining exactly how you feel or why you do and say the things that you do. For me it was mostly out of FEAR and I think that that is the problem with a lot of people. You don't know how to act and what to say, not only for fear of getting hurt but fear of hurting others. They say we love forever, but the way I see it is "we love forever but we don't have forever to love." Desire nothing except desirelessness. Hope for nothing except to rise above all hopes. |

We could also fear not being loved at all. The fear of being alone is a part to what drives us to persue love. Good to see another of your posts, havn't seen you for a while. But I need to say, sometimes what our heart wants is not what is best for the rest of the body. I assume that you have had some difficulties in that area (especialy if your writing about it) and I ask you this, is it better to have loved and lost then to have never loved at all? Thats a cliche I think you missed on this essay of love, keep it up and I DO want to read more. |

Byski.. this is my first post on prose but I have a couple of new ones on teen forum that have got a lot of replies if you missed them.. I totally agree with you on the fear of being alone as a reason we pursue love.. no doubt about it.. I like how you think.. I wrote this about 5 or 6 months ago.. so yea.. I guess I was having some trouble.. I used to take everything so seriously with love and now.. I'm more cautious about love I guess you can say.. I've had some bad experiences and I feel that if it's love.. I'll know.. Thanks for your reply.. ~Heather Desire nothing except desirelessness. Hope for nothing except to rise above all hopes. |

Honestly, individual next door, you needn't apologize for writing long pieces. As to this one, I think that the ideas are still somewhat unoriginal. You needn't go into all this talk of heart. IMHO, writing is more enjoyable when it simply describes raw experience. " You finally find something to make you happy and then all of a sudden it walks out of your life." This sounds a lot like the fear that most have of others in that they cannot contorl them. This is not meant to be a description of some evil we have (as in, wanting to control others for our own benefit) but rather an observation of the fact that people all have their own motives. When these divulge then perhaps situations like the one quoted may arise. Writing about the mind being in two separate pieces can make for good stories. "Heart" is a word I wish people didn't use so much. What is "heart" really? PS I left a clue for reading my story in my latest post - Lecture. |

fractal.. I like you point of view.. but as a young writer I merely see this as a practice piece.. I was young when I wrote it.. so I can't even expect much out of myself.. but one thing I love about this sight.. seeing how people respond in different ways.. and how others opinions differ from my own.. I'm learning.. and by your reply.. I'm not quite sure I understand exactly what you were saying.. ...A heart.. to me.. well.. let's just say I think I've been through enough to understand what I mean.. so.. I really thank you for your time reading my work and replying.. I love your work also.. ~Heather Desire nothing except desirelessness. Hope for nothing except to rise above all hopes. |
