Haha thank you!  I have the good fortune to be very sure of the world I live in at an earlier age (though not through sequacity, thankfully), which is probably why I’m no good at brevity…  :P  

It’s completely all right that you disagree with me on almost everything- you should throw some debate questions my way!  It is always a pleasure to have one’s beliefs tested and challenged, for how can we learn if we are not sure that what we believe stands up to scrutiny?  :)  I promise I keep it civil in the forum of debate.  ;)

If you would prefer not to of course that’s also fine, and I appreciate the compliment!  :D

Really?  Because that looks like an act the Magnificent Humble Boys do at the Southern California Renaissance Faire. XP

Maybe.

I can’t understand this logic.  If you love someone who loves you back and you fall in love with one another at the wrong time, or in the wrong place, or any other scruple that is an impediment to the reality that you both want to be with each other, don’t just part ways, dismiss it as being too hard, and move on with your lives because “gee I hope we meet again in a coffee shop in a far away city aaaaah-” NO.  

STOP.

If you love someone who loves you back, that’s actually a freaking miracle.  Think about the amazing thing that IS love.  Now imagine it having the spectacularity to happen TWICE to the SAME TWO PEOPLE TO EACH OTHER. 

HOLY SHIT, RIGHT?!?!?!!?

So stop mourning like “oh it was just wrongggg-!” HEY.  STAPPIT.  You don’t get to be sad about losing someone you haven’t lost.  Some people never get their love returned.  Some people do and then lose the person they love.  Some people lose the person they love before they could tell them they loved them.  And let me be clear; I HATE the “you can’t be sad because someone else is more sad” line, because it’s crap.  But if you make the executive decision to walk away from something that you could fight for, and win?  

And I know what you’re all thinking.  ”Oh well nobody is going to wait forever-”  Why?  Why not?  Hm?  Why not?  And I’m not talking about “he doesn’t want to commit” or “she doesn’t want kids and I do,” because some reasons for walking away are legitimate and that’s fine and that’s between you two.  But when you love each other and the only thing saying otherwise is an outside force?  That is between you and the universe.  That’s thumbing your nose at what might be a once-in-a-lifetime gift.  

If you love someone who loves you, what are you going to do with all your “freedom”, eh?  Think about them?  Try not to think about them?  Wish you knew where they were right now, and if they could hear the rain on their windowpane too because you know how much they love the rain, or wish they were next to you under the blankets with hot tea because they always said that there was nothing nicer in the world than being in bed with tea while it was raining?  

If you really truly love someone who loves you just as truly, waiting as long as you have to, overcoming whatever odds you have to, is so worth it.  If the very best you can do is say “hey, we really can’t be together right now, but we’d both be interested in trying later so let’s stay friends with that in mind,” great!  If you can’t speak to one another, at least make it known that when that person is missing you, you’ll be missing them too.  Let them be sure of that at least, because they won’t be sure of anything else.  Let them know that you love them.  Let them know that you will fight this battle, and you will win it, because you want them to be the person with whom you fight the war. 

I’m aware this .gif refers to a young lady who could have what she wanted if she waited what, four years, tops?  She wouldn’t have to avoid him, she wouldn’t have to stop speaking to him, she would literally have the privilege of seeing him every day.  And if they could both just keep their hands off of each other for a couple years, neither hell nor high water could tear them apart after that unless they chose to leave.  

We are given very few things at birth, ladies and gentlemen, but among them are the inherent rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  You are not given the right of the pursuit to be easy, but what things worth pursuing are easy to pursue?  You would be a fool not to do so.
