That Warm Fuzzy Feeling

Love songs are completely inaccurate, and everybody knows it! So, why are they the most popular? Even more than that, why do people base their lives on them? Everyone knows that the typical love song is just for the hearing and not to be used as a guideline for life.

I will admit that there are some love songs that are quite meaningful for me, but no matter how they touch me I refuse to use the expression “They’re playing our song.” I want to know who first said that and why it was repeated. There is no “our song” and if there is, then you can bet that your relationship won’t last very long.

Love is not an eHarmony commercial with perfectly matched people and “love that lasts ’til the stars turn cold.” It doesn’t work that way. It’s a difficult journey filled with blood, sweat and tears. You love it, you hate it, you believe it, you doubt it, and in the end it’s just where the chips fall. And so be it!

The question is, is love the object or the feeling? Maybe it’s a little of both? Maybe it’s neither? And since I have very little faith  in the average heart or head, I would say that no one can possibly know.

Again, I find the subject a complete waste of time and not worth the headache it allows. And to that warm, fuzzy feeling I say, do what you like, but don’t bother me.
