my LOVE/HATE relationship with romance

my biggest temptation right now is to FLOAT.
i want to just play guitar all day and read TUMBLR.
most of my blogs are made up love poems that i post
to make the reader think i'm in WONDER.
i'm not there.
haven't been there for a VERY, VERY long time.

--

i'm so interested in romance. i admit i find it fascinating.
i grew up in a home that constantly surrounded me with it.
my mom still gets nervous when my dad knocks on the door.
and so i've found in myself an inclination to daydream, write, dialogue
about romance ALL THE TIME.

--

i also have found that nothing in the world scares the hell out of me
like romance does. the thought of it makes me run back to my cave
with Don Miller. He's really good for lonely people like myself.

--

i learned recently that there are some people that aren't fascinated
by romance at all. they actually daydream about being single all their lives...drinking tea and becoming a Secret Window character. it doesn't bother them at all. they write about things that matter, like Obama's progress as president or the comparison between Macbooks and PCs. some of them even write about Jesus all the time.

lucky souls.

Hahaha, Noel. I know exactly how you feel. It's fascinating, enticing, yet the scariest thing ever. I actually recently wrote a blog about how I'm scared of falling in love. It's not that I don't WANT to, but it's just frightening. I'm not exactly sure why... perhaps because it requires vulnerability.

It would be somewhat nice to be satisfied with the prospect of being single for the rest of my life. It would certainly make life less complicated... but a whole lot more lonely.

maybe those who write about obama and jesus are just as scared, or even more, of romance.
