Let's Talk About Love. 7 February 2014

I just woke up!
I wrote about love in my notebook that I have designated to be the thought bubble of this blog, so I technically did write.... I just didn't type it up or post it?
Let's See what I wrote. Shall we?

7 February 2014
             I've been thinking a lot about love.  One wish I have for this year is to fall in love. I'm not even 20 (yet. Soon!) and I can confidently say that I have been in love twice.
            If someone asked me what it feels like to be in love, I would be in a pickle.   In my opinion, you can never forget what it feels like to be in love.  It is always something new and indescribable using words.
            Both the experiences I have had of being in love have been different. “But then Turner,” you may ask, “how do you know when you’re in love?”
            Great questions! I don’t have an answer.
As I share with you all yesterday, I have an ongoing communication with myself that in my life I am always “too late.”
            I have only realized being in love after the two people I cared about had stopped being in my life. 
            That is why, at age 19, I have also experienced heartache, and my heart breaking.
            “And what does that feel like, Turner?”
            I don’t know, but if you haven’t felt it before…
[I felt sick inside and out. My heart physically hurt. The world was spinning around me. “I love you, I love you, I love you,” it’s all I wanted to say.  It’s all I ever wanted to say.  I wanted to be with you.  I could not bring myself to imagine my life without you. It wasn’t possible.  It wasn’t possible for me not to be with you and yet….]
            Maybe that’s one way of describing it.  It is an example of most of my teenage-angst writing. 
            Being in love was like having a song that is your life, constantly playing in your head.  You have found another part of yourself.  A person that is so much a part of your life that they are part of who you are, almost at a physical level.  So much “you” that part of your heart, willing or no, has been given to them.  That you two are in some way part of the same idea, the same person. 
Magic.
            I think that every time you fall in love, it feels different.  I agree with my father who says that you can never fully fall out of love with anyone.
            There are moments where I find myself again feeling being in love with someone from my past.  But it is in the past.  I am no longer deeply in love with anyone.  And while it’s still in the past, it’s a little bitter-sweet.  I would say over all that it’s very nostalgic:  re-living an old you for just a short period of time.
            I was playing a song on guitar yesterday and suddenly I felt…. Different. 
I felt as though part of my body was in a different place and time.  I found myself nearly crying while plucking out the tune to a song with so much feeling attached to it. 
            I can relate to so many songs that I hear.  I almost have a knack for finding a song and holding on to it, or not being able to listen to it because it has a certain memory for me.
I’ll write a list of the songs later.

This counts for yesterday!!!!


Loves,


Turner
