My thoughts about love might sound a bit extreme but I've always been a bit extreme. Here it goes....

1. Saying I love you doesn't mean much in the long run. My step-dad always told me that people that do a lot of talking usually don't do much action when it comes down to it. So why do men think that saying I love you is supposed to make us melt inside? I find it much more appealing when people show their love through action.

2. A man that I was dating recently insinuated that there was something wrong with me because I've chosen to be single most of my adult life? I pointed out to him that I enjoy my own company and would rather be alone than living with a man I can't stand. Society seems to pound into women's heads that there is something wrong with them if they're single. We're not complete unless we have a man by our side? So far, this incomplete woman is doing fine ;-)

3. Being honest about sex is taboo. Okay, do you want to be doing something for someone and finding out later that they got no pleasure from it? I think honesty is a way to connect with people. We all have different experiences in life and can teach each other so much. Where would we be if we weren't willing to learn and try something new?

4. Even if I'm in love doesn't mean I'm willing to sacrifice my self-being and respect. Come on, does anyone still believe in those romance novels and the stereo typical thought of "Stand by your man". If you hit me or abuse me in anyway I will most likely lose interest in you because you have crossed a boundary which there is no way of erasing or turning back. Because I leave you doesn't mean I didn't love you, it means that I also love myself and know that I deserve better.

5. This one is especially for the women. Why do some people think that love will give them happiness and solve all their problems? There is a bigger chance you will experience that with alcohol than a human being. We're all a mess and going trough this thing called life with not much guidance. How can you expect another person that is just as lost as you to give you the solution to your problems on a platter?

Maybe this is the reason I'm still single, Ha ha...
