love. not a game. simple v. complex

the fluent languages of love. how many fluent speakers of love are there in the world? if love is a language, a means of communication. love is more than that. love is a promise. it is a declaration. are we really supposed to love all? how are loves different, or supposed to be different from one to another? what should I promise to my lover, and not to everyone else?

is love like music? there are musicians who specialize in certain genres of music, but know nothing of others. are there people who only want to love in one way? what problems does this create for relationships?

I never speak bullshit in my journal. it's always heartfelt, true to me at the moment. of course, some of my beliefs will change, always i hope. and realizations i've had in the last three years may not have been effective in previous entries. myself, like everyone else, is an evolving mind (or, soul). Minds evolve, or grow, at different rates. some get much further than others. wisdom. it comes if you want it. if you're constantly evaluating life, and taking steps toward true wisdom. there are 60 year old men who are complete fools. There are 16 year old boys who know how to refrain from fucking up every chance they get.

that was from my journal earlier today...yea. i believe people either choose to acquire wisdom, or deny it. i've heard a lot in my short life so far, "wisdom comes with years." but that's only if the years were spent in search of wisdom. older men have more potential to be wise. but they also have had many years in which they could have completely abandoned the hopes of wisdom. and regarding love: i wasn't answering any of those questions about love, sure i have ideas about some of them, but love's just really on my mind. it seems obvious to me that there are definitely very different ways of loving different people in our lives. love is sacred. so many different thoughts in my head right now, and so many of them are completely hidden from you.
