Day 305: Dogs > Lovers

Oh the joy of being in love is a feeling that this generation of hopeless romantics try so hard to chase. The smile that you know is yours and the eyes that you will never give off to another, it's just the perks of falling for someone. Maybe it will start as an innocent crush but the more you entertain the thought, the deeper you fall. You wish for that person to be yours not for selfish reasons but because you know deep inside you, there is a love that you can offer to this person and you wish to give that genuine love.

Once you win their heart, the dreams of having him or her around pales comparison to living the dream of holding their hand and I think that is one of the best feelings in the world, the person you love is beside you, the girl/ guy of your dreams finally smiling at your side. You may love this person more than he or she loves you but you would not mind because you just wish for his or her happiness. You fight against all odds for this person. Turning blind and deaf to other people for the sake of this person. The joys of young love, always so pure.

That is why I cannot grasp how how can you just let go of the person that you once sought after. After a long and hard fight for him or her you decided to let go and even worse you sought perfection in someone else. You hurt the person that was minding his or her own business until you decided to tell him or her you love him or her. People are weird, they go breaking hearts even if they have one to begin with.

Your salvation from this lonely life was the cause of you destruction. Everyone keeps saying that they should give the love they receive but more often people wish to bleed on people even on those who did not cut them. The Scars of the past may throb time to time but that is not a valid reason to hurt anyone. I guess when people meet you, They still have clear and pure intentions but when you get to know them, they start changing. Becoming so sure that you will not leave them. Maybe in order to spare our hearts, we should stop falling in love with people who are trying to fix themselves.

Selfish that may sound, but we all have to be one in order to stop the cycle of pain. The concept of rebound was birthed in this process, hurting the people who only wish to live genuinely but only gets hurt in the process. Everyone just wants to be loved and people who would use that as a leverage to heal themselves are nothing short of monsters. 

That is why you should get a dog. Dogs are better than people. They loyal to the extent even without the urge of reciprocity. Do yourselves a favor and get a dog rather than a lover.
