Thoughts two & three

Now onto thoughts two and three of yesterdays blogpost.
#2: Love is abused.
In the last week I've had two people point out something to me. Roughly 90% of songs on the radio are about love and relationships. It makes all that seem so overrated. Why can't those things be special? Be something that is shared with the person you love, not the whole world. Granted, there has to be a lot of love songs still, but not almost the whole radio has to be filled with songs about love. It's like Valentine's day being every single day of the year and for us single people, it's "singles awareness" day being everyday of the year. It's as if love isn't special anymore. It isn't something we long for and cherish. It just seems to be a trend. That's probably why love doesn't last anymore. Because trends don't ever last, do they? If we keep treating love as a trend then it's not really love. It's just a topic of conversation, a way to make money, a way to fit in. But love isn't like that and it shouldn't be like that. It should be appreciated. Someone, somewhere loves you. They're not a pair of skinny jeans, or dark nail polish. They're not your new car or new video game. Once they get old, don't throw them away. Grow old with them. Love isn't a trend. It's a gift. That should last. My grandparents have been married for almost 60 years. When they were growing up, they had each other and that's all they new. They weren't trying to fit in with the crowd or follow trends. They just loved because they knew that was the only right thing to do. So many elder people are like that. We were given amazing examples, why can't we follow them? Why can't we just love, love above everything else?

#3: I'm dying alone with 14 cats.
Okay, that title wasn't necessarily true, and I pray it's not. I'm still trying to stay positive. You know if you think it, you become it. So I'm hoping I have and amazing husband and 4 kids, but who knows. At the moment, loneliness overwhelms me. I would probably be okay with it, if I didn't know what I was missing. I just wish I had that someone who appreciates all I do. Loves me for who I am. That's not too much to ask right? I need someone I can talk to and who I can tell everything too. But I guess that's too much to wish for. Anyways, that thought was pretty much pointless but I'm sure a lot of people agree. One day it will happen, I really, really hope so. I give my heart out for people and I try to be the best I can be, but I get nothing in return. One day though, one day. Enjoy my #2 thought, this one was probably annoying.
