Don't go looking for love
As if you need to pick and choose
Don't all things need it?
Is there not beauty everywhere you look?
So stop looking
As if some things are worth ignoring
Don't think you're worth ignoring
And you won't be loved
I love the mud that squishes beneath my feet
I love the thorns that teach me to be wary
I love the shit that makes me laugh
I love the pain that makes me stronger
I love the death that makes life precious
I love the assholes that remind me of my manners
I love the idiots that remind me to think before I act
I love the world that is not perfect
Because it is not perfect
I love you
Not because you are funny or smart or cute
Not because of who you are or what you do
I love you
Because love is good
This is an ideal, rather than the reality. I feel that I should love everything, but actually that is very hard to do. Everything deserves love and is worth loving, but sometimes I can't get past things like petty dislike. It's really hard for me to love (or even tolerate) anything that has to do with people, including people themselves.

This was inspired mostly by the song Amarantine, by Enya.

Here i was felling all pissy and you put me back on track... Thank You

And yeh just about all the people out there are difficult to love... but you have to love them nonetheless because its the fickle, heartless asshats that make you appreciate the ever so occasional good-hearted individual... or at least that's the way I see it.

Keep up the good work :)
