love, such a silly game we play.

Love - a wildly misunderstood although highly desirable malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain, causes eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressure to rise and the lips to pucker. (Author Unknown)


I remember when I used to feel that way. It felt like it was ages ago, literally. I have to say that I'm one of those old-fashioned people who have this incredibly romantic, idealistic idea of love. I like and enjoy all stages of it: crush, infatuation, affection, love, heartbreak, hurt, anger, despair, indifference, and finally, just toleration and peace. Each stage permits you to grow in a way.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I miss it, so much. These days I just think I'm acting like a robot. Wake up each day to eat, drink, erase and rewind. No feelings whatsoever. Haha, sounds dangerously like I'm desperate, which I probably am. You would be, if you haven't had ~romantic feelings~ for anyone for 5 years. Has it really been that long?

You know, I have no excuse: I'm not super busy... yet, I'm not a commitment-phobe (or maybe I am), nor have I decided to suddenly change ~direction in my sexual preferences, if you know what I mean. I'm not in any stage of confusion (except trying to figure myself out and what I want for my future, but that's neither here nor there and shall be discussed in another post), nor am I engaging myself to be a nun for the rest of my life.

So what the hell's keeping me from taking that jump and just allow myself be sickeningly happy for a change? What's wrong with me (ooooh, let's not go there)?

Here's what I think: I'm not unattractive. I am certain that I am attractive, I just don't want to start comparing myself to other women because it's gonna get ugly. A friend of mine recently said that when I walk down the streets, I make myself look "unavailable" to men. Somebody please explain to me what he meant by that. How could you even make yourself look unavailable? I don't think you would want me to start wearing shirts that say, "HI, SUPER-MEGA-FOXY-AWESOME-HOT CHICA RIGHT HERE. CALL ME AND WE'LL HAVE A GOOD TIME!", only so you could tell that I'm actually available.
