Life Lessons: Love, quit fucking trying to figure it out! Music by Royal Blood, Words by Ross Hawse.
As a species, we human beings seem to always want to be able to find the answer to every question. Some things though are not explainable; at least that is my opinion.
For example, Love.
Wouldn’t it be nice if there were a mathematical equation, a scientific explanation, a set of instructions or a recipe that is handed down from generation to generation that we could all use to either find love, keep love or heal from lost love?
Well there isn’t. Believe me, I asked my mother. You know what she told me?
Quit looking for it, it will find you when you least expect it. – BH
OVER THINKING 101
Think about how simple that would make it for us complicated folks who always over think everything. You know our type; the ones who spend hours.. days.. weeks.. months even! waging war between our hearts and our head. The heart, as they say “is blind”, it doesn’t always see the danger or trouble lurking behind some of the doors that are in front of us. The head on the other hand, like a canary in the coal mine, senses trouble but can be overcome by love before it can pass along the warning to our heart.
I have been overcome by love to the point that I have ignored my head, my intuition and gut feelings and simply followed my heart. Oh that gullible easily seduced heart.
We know the gut is almost always right, but yet we go against it time after time. Kind of like when someone orders something to eat, takes a bite and then turns to you with this expression of my god that was the worst thing I have ever tasted and says; “you, try it”. You know you shouldn’t, I mean you just watched them taste it and it was obviously bloody awful but…you try it anyways. Stupid!
I have a friend who is working through a love lesson and was confiding their struggles with me. It is hard to watch someone from your past move on and be happy in a new relationship when you are not. You start questioning why you can’t find someone; you doubt yourself and look for answers.
TOUGH LOVE
Love; there are no books, no websites, no advice column’s that have the exact formula for you, and as we said there isn’t even a GPS to help you find it or navigate through it.
When, not if, .. “When” the right person enters your life you will both know it. Not when YOU feel it, not when THEY feel it, when you BOTH feel it.
It is love damn it, there is no reason or explanation and yet us simpletons think there should be.
That is its beauty.
We look for an answer to everything and because we can’t explain how or why love works we then look for a reason to say why it doesn’t work. It’s love for crying out loud. There is no rhyme or reason. It is the most beautiful part of being human, and the ugliest.
Love, quit fucking trying to figure it out.
