Love: Why Can't Let Go?

"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close."

Love: Why Can't Let Go?

"There's so many fishes in the sea." "Why can't you let go him/her if he/she doesn't love you anyway?" "You're a martyr, even though for how many times you failed in love, you can't still stop loving somebody."

Ever heard so many lines like this? It's very ironic right? We love, we get hurt and love again. That's the cycle.

Lately, I just realized that people can't easily let go of what they love because they are already drawn by their presence - that if it will be completely gone they gone insane and depressed.

If you truly love someone, you get blinded. You don't mind their flaws or negative traits, you just love them simply because you were attracted. And if you're really into them, if you love so hard, you can't get out as if you were trapped.

Even if it's one-sided, even if that someone doesn't love you the way you love them - still you can't stop on loving them either. Until such time when your feelings gets decreased and decreased until you felt tired, that's the time you'll slowly let go.

Am I right, right?

So folks, you really can't control the feelings of love. You can't easily get out of it if you love someone so hard. But if everything is out of your control, just let time heal all your wounds. It's the nature of love, that no matter how look into it - it's all the same. Just take it easy, and love happily.

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
