The 'L' Word

Day 107

Another too long a working day and another emergency blip of a little wooden LOVE block.

However, while I sit at the end of the boy's bed and wait for him to finally go to sleep after only seeing him for a total of 1 hour 5 min today and none of that was quality time, has got me thinking about 'love' and why we can't all live in a world doing the things that we love with the people we love all of the time.

I don't love work, I don't even like it very much at all. It's a burdensome necessity to not only exist and survive that takes me away from spending more time with the people I love, but much to my displeasure allows me to do some of the things I love. Money can't buy you love, but it sure helps make it happen in that sense ... some of the time.

Love takes different forms though.

The doing stuff like I love surfin, I love chocolate, I love sleep, I love being in the sun, (actually I'm quite easily and cheaply lurved up) is all good and well, but the stuff that matters, the stuff that costs absolutely nothing but the giving of your heart (and the risk of having it broken), is the best.

A mothers love and a son's in return is epic. But there's always room for more whether it be friends or family (or pets). The ultimate and icing on the cake can be best summed up I think with the below -

We're all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness - and call it love - true love.
