Maybe

We are all searching for something in the world, we are all trying to find something special, something that will touch our lives in ways we never imagined possible, we are all curious of the existence of that "special something ". We want to find it, feel it, touch it, learn it, understand it, love it and then maybe one day find the courage to convince ourselves that we deserved, that " special something". Convince ourselves that we are just as special, that we can carry on with our lives, let it go, that ( "special something") and that somehow our lives will still be just as meaningful without it... And so you let it go, and a part of you goes along with it and sometimes if not most times, never to find it again...

LOVE; FREEDOM


Love: Freedom

Men gone to war back and forth again, children left fatherless, women widows in misery, women giving up their lives for the men they love, children abandoned as one parent or both go on the search of love, young fellas taking their lives all in the mighty name of love, now passion killing is even excused for love, control, possessiveness, obsession , giving everything and nothing left for thyself, are these actions really worth it, is love really all about suffering, because at the end of the day, from century to century, decade to decade, year after year, love novel after love novel, all the greatest love stories end in tragedy, the ones with happy endings are fiction.

What if maybe, just maybe we’ve got the whole idea of love wrong, what if maybe somebody needs to stretch it, bend it, or twist it a little. The reality is everybody keeps searching for it but the truth is we don’t really know what we are looking for, we keep fooling ourselves time and time again all for the idea of love, a word we only pretend to understand, a word the world is obsessed with, that we so much justify every wrong done in it.

The smart ones make money out  of it, they are taking advantage of the addiction of the world, making millions, some billions maybe even trillions, out of the most vulnerable to it(love), making them believe they can’t live without it, i felt the same way not long ago, but I figured out there is a whole lot more to this life, and we can’t all be looking for the same damn thing, somebody’s got to take a different path, somebody’s got to be different, somebody’s got to be brave enough for the weak, for the lost, for the hopeless and most importantly for the idea of freedom, of independence, and there sure is nothing better than freedom, than independence , knowing that you are depended on nothing and no one, knowing that anything can happen, that life could go south, west, east or north and you will still be alright with it…… Now that’s love: Freedom!!!!
