I'm gonna take a risk here, despite the many others I've taken that ended badly. I've been itching to post something of my own here ever since Naku linked me to his post. I know I'm supposed to be 'gone' or whatever, but it's just one little post, doesn't mean I've returned, yet. So I've just been wondering lately, due to various complications in my life, what the purpose of love really is. I don't just mean romantic love, I mean love as a whole, what does it really exist for? I think I started question this a lot more after reading Delirium. It allowed me to see things more clearly and to have a kind of revelation, so to speak. The book gives you a very in-depth look into a world without love entirely. It's astonishing the difference it makes, everyone is essentially a sociopath. No sympathy. No emotional involvement with anything. No concern for others' well being. Detached from the rest of the world. They are basically just robots, living for no other reason than to just be alive. After reading this fantastic book, I realized that love affects so much of our lives and we hardly ever notice it. We take it beyond for granted. Most of the time we forget that it's even there. When it it comes down to the purpose of love, and I quote, "the whole point- the only point- is to find things that matter, and hold on to them, and fight for them, and refuse to let them go". You see? It's not just about romance. Romance is just one of the things associated with love, there's also selflessness, caring, empathy, and most importantly, purpose. You don't need a significant other to have a reason to exist. All you need is something that you feel strongly for. That's why it's possible for us to love other things besides people. My love of writing for example. I live to write, I've been doing it for as long as I can remember. It's what I was born to do. I may not be very good at it, but if I really commit to it, I can, and will, get better over time. I always feel good when I'm writing. I don't care that don't have very many friends, or a girlfriend. As long as I have something to write, I'm just fine. So to all those singles out there that are depressed because they haven't found their true love yet, perhaps you're just looking in the wrong area. |

So I have found a different form of love than what is popular. I now have a master. He cares about me a lot and loves me, but he has more power over me than I do of him. I personally prefer this because I'm actually submissive now days when it comes to relationships. Anyways my life has improved so much since I've found him |

That's nice, Naku, I'm really glad that you're happy. I haven't exactly been so lucky recently. One of these days.... I won't screw things up... |

It wasn't till today I noticed just how nutso this whole topic is. This topic is straight up old, and in its past we see a few relationships begin and end. This topic has seen people grow close and split up. Ultimately, I think, this topic is about learning. The cuddles, loves, pet names, everything, Its all just a filling for what is ultimately a topic about learning. Through examples and advice lessons have been taught, at least I believe I've learned from reading through it. It can take a lot for someone to try and read this kind of topic with a cool head, or That thought is my personal belief. You know, the topic has had participation from many, even Naka shining his teaching light upon it, and I think its something to be preserved for people to read as something to learn from. As I said I've gleaned some form of knowledge from the review of what this topic has held, and I'm actually really happy to have learned the lessons provided. Its Made Me realize something I didn't quite understand before. Hidden in the pages of this topic is advice I can apply to myself happily, in a relationship of nearly 2 and a half years, and I find that wonderful. I ask any who may have some kind of romantic relationship to attend to to look over the history of this topic and try and learn~ One little note on the end here. Today I looked over the previous history of a relationship with a girl who was once on the forum, I'd mentioned it once in the pages of this topic before. This girl was someone I cared for greatly despite the short time we maintained contact. I respect this girl greatly for having ended our relationship on the basis that she knew that we would both end up dealing with feelings we aren't quite ready for yet, with that in mind here is my little contribution to the lessons of the topic. Love, Relationships, and Dedication, in romantic Manifestations, come with Very strong, Very stressful, Very difficult to understand feelings. You, as a person, whoever you are, need to be honest with yourself and the person you care about with how you can handle these feelings, okay? If you don't think you can deal with the stress in a relationship, then allow yourself to end a relationship on good ground, rather than letting yourself become broken from trying to cope. Sure, testing yourself is sometimes good, but there are times when it is incredibly clear that you cant handle it :3 To The Girl Whom I Cannot Name, Thank you very much :3 I wish I could talk to you more now with my clearer mind XD |

Something I have been seeing from friends in regards of getting a partner in life. You shouldn't actively look for one. You will pretty much always start off as just friends but you will eventually figure out that you are practically in a relationship. Love also ins't something that can only between a couple. You can love your friends like how I love Candy, it's just a different form of love. So from this day forth I will be looking to make so many more friends so my life can be filled with love. |

I'm sorry for a double post but stuff happened. I no longer love Candy and I no longer have a master so I'm a completely single cat. Oh well back to looking for more friends |

Me oh my, what's this? Another post in a day? I honestly hoped I wouldn't have to come back here. Not that there's anything wrong with this place, but I usually come with bad news, no? So, I recently helped a friend of mine ask out a girl I've liked for a while. He knew about my feelings and asked if it was alright. I waved it off and gave him the green light. That was the biggest mistake I've ever made. She agreed to the date. So now I'm in a cycle of frustration and despair. And the worst part is? I can't blame anyone but myself. It's all my fault and I can't do anything about it. I'm still coming to terms with it, but I'm feeling better than I was two days ago. Sometimes you can be too nice. But I'm tryin' to see the positives. Man oh man, do I feel so goddamn smart. Anyway, the feeling will fade with time, hopefully with little resentment. Ciao, and good luck out there, I suppose. |

I've given up on finding true love. If it happens, it happens, but I'm done actively searching for it. I had my chance, and I screwed up, since then I've just kinda stopped caring. |

So, y'all remember how I had a crush on Retro? Well it sort of evolved, and now we've decided to make it official. We announced it in Min's chat, but decided it would be a good thing to say it on here~ I'm very happy with him, and I'm glad that we've decided on this. Thank you, Retro sweetie~ <3 |

You're so welcome, honey~ <3 So yeah, we're a couple now. We mentioned it in Min's chat, and got a lot of support, and congratulations from those present, and thought it would be a good idea to post it here (even if I don't really come on here any more). As Aero said, we're really happy, both with the relationship, and the support we've received so far. Hopefully, it'll will be a lasting relationship~ Edited by Retro, Dec 25 2014, 07:52 PM.
