On the brink....

Sorry it's been a while, I have no internet, and no romance! The only thing hot lately is the weather. I've been trying, but just no spark. I think I am at a point where I am happy enough that what I've got for the time being is satisfying. Where is before I thought love was what I was missing. I mentioned I have no internet, I also don't own a TV. I have a consistant job. I've stopped wearing make-up and tons of jewelry all the time, I can cook, which is something I did not know about myself, and I've been enjoying reading books that are more historical than romantic. I am not quite sure what is going on, but I am on the brink of something, something I haven't figured out yet. But when I do, I will fill you in and hopefully there will be something exciting to write about soon. I have some time off in august, so if nothing great happens by then I'll make it up.
Until then,
The Hopeless Romantic

A way to be loved a little bit more

Have you ever read or heard something that just struck a note with you? It reads so true that you cannot help but relate. Someone else, fictional or real had felt the same thing you have felt while experiencing life. While I was watching “Before Sunrise” I felt that recognition of a thought so similar to my own.
It’s movie about two people who meet on a train in Europe and decided the spend the whole night together in Vienna before going on their separate ways. This also enforces my belief in love at first sight, for the chance of never bumping into each other again after only spending a few moments together was too much for them to bear so they took what time that had, and made the most of it. Memories that they could keep in case they do not meet again. At one point she turns to him and says:
“Loving someone and being loved means so much to me, I always make fun of it and stuff, but isn’t everything we do in life a way to be loved a little bit more.”
Whether we realize it or not, is this not so true? Even if it is to love yourself a little more. And I don’t think it necessarily means just to be loved in the romantic sense, but also platonic. We want our parents and family to love us, be proud of us. Just as we want to be proud of ourselves, at the end of the day to be happy with what you have done and who you are becoming.
Once you are on your way to that then hopefully, it is only a matter of time before someone feels the same way about you. After all everything we do shapes us into who we will become, the person that our significant others will fall for. Maybe it’s the small quirks you possess that they will love. Perhaps the small insignificant things you have done that will catch their eye, and capture their heart. So in the end whether we are trying to attract someone at the time or not, for the right person it is so worth it to be ourselves because it’s going to be those small, and even big things, we don’t really think about that could be what makes that someone love us a little more. And even if I do make fun of the whole idea sometimes, of enjoying being single to much to sacrifice my free time, in the end (and at the end of the day) I would love someone to spend the evening with, someone I know feels the same way.
