	A Blog Entry From a Hopeless Optimist
	A Blog Entry From a Hopeless Optimist


Alright, I had a bunch of people over last night. Various events occured before we actually arrived at my home, but those are of minimal importance. Boober is my hero. But we eventually settles down and wacthed Moulin Roue. I'd purchased over the Christmas hols but never actuall sat down and watched, I'd seen this movie once before. It's an incredible movie, and as much as it rips off music and dance moves and everything it's still a classic almost-musical based on Truth, Freedom, Beauty and Love. By the end of the movie everyone was at least tearing up in the eyes(if not bawling hopeless coughkenjcough). I am a hopeless optimist and a hopeless romantic, deep down everyone is somewhere. I really do beleive in true love and all that goodness. Bohemian revolutionary am i? Well I'm a few years inhistory too late for that, but i dunno. I have hung onto my naivite in life to continue to believe in these things, especially since many a person in society tries to convince you it's not worth it. heart "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love and be loved in return." heart Ignore my naivite and girliness. blaugh [Tetris.Ninja] · Sat Jan 22, 2005 @ 02:35pm · 14 Comments

	<i>Ignore my naivite and girliness.</i> I think I shall. <i> heart "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love and be loved in return." heart </i> It may seem the greatest thing, but not all love is returned. Jumping mindlessly into love will not get you anywhere except horrible sad, if it doesn't work out, or rather naive and girly. Offline Mini Effi · Community Member · Sat Jan 22, 2005 @ 07:44pm


	Effi has a point, sadly enough, not all love is returned. However I'd have to say that, after watching that movie, I wanted to fall in love immediately. I adore that movie. And now with the soundtrack blasting in my ears (Yes I borrowed it form Lindsey!!! xD), the emotion it conjures is a very happy, naive, girly emotion. So I agree, at the moment however, "The greatest thing you will ever learn, is to love and be loved in return". heart heart heart Offline strawberry jelly · Community Member · Sun Jan 23, 2005 @ 03:20am


	But then, there is this whole thing about having enough love for both people. One has to ask if it's true love even if the feelings are not returned. "Horrible sadness" isn't always the result of every relationship that didn't quite work out. Perhaps a great friendship was forged instead of a great relationship. "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love and be loved in return." Keep in mind that love exists in more than one form, and the fact that you still learn a lot from those reckless first companionships.

	I agree with Ann. For those of you that know Eric, we used to date but that didn't work out (most likely because we were in grade 7) and now we're very very good friends. It's better. Offline [Tetris.Ninja] · Community Member · Sun Jan 23, 2005 @ 05:42pm


	I agree with Effi. Unrequitted love hurts more than anything you could possibly imagine. To have such strong feelings for someone, feelings that you have no control over, and then to find out that none of those feelings are returned, well, you feel nothing but pain. You can't help who you fall for. You're very lucky, Beccy, to have someone who returns your feelings. Me, well, my feelings go to him and he sucks me dry of them until I'm an empty shell. That's the best way I can describe it right now. Offline Rashico · Community Member · Sun Jan 23, 2005 @ 06:13pm


	People who "get the guy/girl" or who get something out of the "failed" relationship, will always agree with Ann. But for us "normal" folks, we can't see that. Wanting what you can never have is worse than death. Offline Mini Effi · Community Member · Sun Jan 23, 2005 @ 10:16pm


	@ rach : don't worry about him. Just focus on the people who do love you (albeit in a more platonic way, but whatever.) I find that that's a good way to stay relatively happy when there's no hope with whoever is the him of the hour (I, personally, am hopelessly fickle).

	@Effi: What about friend-love? Or family-love? Like ann said, love comes in varying forms. @Rach: I know how you feel. And it sucks. Its happened to me on more than one occasion. Just try and focus your thoughts on something different. I'm sure you've tried, and stuff, but I honestly cannot think of anything else to say. sweatdrop Offline strawberry jelly · Community Member · Sun Jan 23, 2005 @ 11:04pm


	le sigh this isnt' suppossed to create controversy people xp Offline [Tetris.Ninja] · Community Member · Sun Jan 23, 2005 @ 11:08pm


	Oh, yeah, Effi, because I've had an absolutely splendid love life. Oh, and I must know nothing because I've never felt that sort of pain that someone like Rachel must have felt, hm? It's completely understandable to (in short) despair and feel pained. Whether you choose to believe it or not, I have been there. What doesn't make sense is not even trying to grow from the experience. Define "normal". Offline bittersweet_symphony · Community Member · Mon Jan 24, 2005 @ 12:34am


	Beccy: Knowing us, there's bound to be debates following posts about love xp Offline bittersweet_symphony · Community Member · Mon Jan 24, 2005 @ 12:40am


	Quote: Wanting what you can never have is worse than death. It's absolutely true. And it's not just that one person, it's everyone. I'll never be able to experience that kind of love because, no matter how much you say otherwise, I'm fat and ugly. No one dreams of dating an overweight ugly person. No one wants that. And like I said before, I can't help the way I feel. I wish I could just wish those feelings away or ignore them, but I really can't. Then I have to go to school, and see him and be near him and yet so far away because of the fact that we both know how I feel. And then we have the other constant reminder of what I'll never have because of all the couples kissing in the halls and holding each other. And I'm not talking about the bands geeks. Just any random couple I pass embraced like that is a stab in the gut. It is worse than death, walking around as an empty shell because you'll never have that other to make you whole. I've accepted that, but it still hurts. Offline Rashico · Community Member · Mon Jan 24, 2005 @ 03:52pm


	Rach. When there is really love, looks don't ****** matter. I'm not going to argue about whether you look good, because that's been done. Just pay attention to random married couples. People can be less than attractive, but still find love, and be happy with it. I'm positive that you will meet a guy who dreams of dating specifically you. and he won't think of you as fat and ugly, whether you might still believe that or not.

	If you look at it from this sort of perspective, isn't it better to have a relationship that isn't based on appearances? At least you know then that it is your personality/intellect/etc that the person is attracted to, not just the exterior part of you.
