Welcome Love

It's just so sad that when people "mature" or when people get into "adulthood," we tend to fear a lot of things. Everything has to be planned. Everything has to be perfect. Everything has a cause and effect documents laid out. I mean, nothing wrong with that, but when it comes to matters of the "heart" (I tend to call it matters of the "oxytocin - laden brain."), you can't really plan for it perfectly.

How many times have you heard people say "By the time I'm 25, I plan to fall madly deep inlove."? Zero. Coz falling inlove, no matter how you look at it, cannot be planned. I think that's why people are always caught off-guard and people do crazy things when they do. But crazy or not, you have to do something (in my opinion anyways). You just don't fall inlove then decide right away that it's not gonna work, that realisticly the relationship is doomed from the start, blah, blah, blah. We fear the unknown, right? In the real world (scientifically speaking), how do doctors cure phobia? By reintroducing the fear stimulus a lil bit at a time to the patient. That's how people should approach love, in my opinion. Baby steps. I mean, really, you can't download love at will (oh God, if only we could, eh?). You can't buy it from the store. You can't find it even if you look hard, coz it finds you. And if the opportunity comes, you better do something about it. Welcome it, at least. Do not kick its ass outta door right away. At least give it a chance, yknow. Coz if you don't, you'll live day after day of regretting that time when you shove love outta door.
