since i did a long drive yesterday, and walked around a theme park, and socialized today. i am extremely tired!
hence why i'm about to go to bed!
i have to drive my brother places tomorrow, and then watch alot of tv. hehe sounds not such a bad day, and i get to lie-in!
watched aladdin at my friend's house this evening (yes, thats right, aladdin!)
and watching as jasmine and aladdin fell in love so quickly i was very cynical, my friend clare said to me 'well it was love at first sight'.
ignoring the fact that she has a boyfriend of a year and 2 months and is living in loveland at the moment, she had a fair point.
i've never really believed in love at first sight, i think you can have a spark at first sight, but love is something built over time with trust and friendship. these two characters (yes the two in a disney film) didn't think twice about putting their trust in each other and falling in love.
its a kids film and thats what kids are being taught, its what we all were taught. what i want to know is, when do we stop believing in love at first sight and start becoming cynical about love.
and is it cynical or is it realistic? maybe after being hurt or watching other people hurt by love we just stop putting our trust in it and build a barrier around ourselves.
and i'll leave you with my quote for the day 'love is giving someone the power to destroy you, but trusting them not to'
much love xxxxxx

i don't think you should fall in love at first "sight", because that implies you fall in love with them because of their looks, which is silly.
if you mean fall in love after a first meeting, i think it's at least possible to feel a spark at the first meeting, and if that spark develops it could work.
but things like where romeo sees juliet over the dance floor and decides he loves her is just plain silly.
is that what you meant?
yes thats exactly what i meant.
you can't fall for someone without interacting with them.
and when i say people are cynical etc, i mean that when we do feel a spark at first meeting so to speak, we immediately put up barriers.
does that make sense?
yeah, i know what you mean about the barriers.
unfortunetly, it's been a while since i had a spark upon meeting someone for the first time, so i can't say if my reaction is to hide or jump in.
i'd say i'm a jump in kinda person, but i dunno...
i think i jump in and then a little bit later, when it might start to mean something more, i hide.
a sort of protect myself before there's a possibility of getting hurt.
but i guess everyone does that self-protection thing to an extent..
Aw man, I completely relate to this. I have serious defences. That's one of the reasons I've never had a boyfriend. I think it must have started when I was... 8 or so, so v early :) I wasn't popular so if anyone said they liked me, I thought they were just making fun of me. I'm only just getting past that now.
my outlook is that i don't mind the getting hurt part, because if i'm open to everybody then i will get hurt a little, but the good relationships i get will make up for that.
however, i know there's a difference between saying things like that and doing them, so i dunno how i do things in real life.
