05 – Your definition of love
My Definition of love? That's so hard. I mean there are so many types of love. Love between family, love between friends, lovers, infatuation, lust. Even among family, the love you may feel for your father might differ slightly from the love you feel for your mother, or sister or brother. The respect that you feel for a mentor is also a type of love. I really don't know. I asked my mother how she fell in love with my father and I always liked her story.
She said, 'You know how, sometimes you meet someone and they're the most gorgeous, beautifully breathtaking creature you've ever laid eyes on? But then you start talking to them, and they turn out to be so...boring! Just the dullest most unattractive person you've ever met and you think 'Ugh! How can someone so beautiful be so hideous? But then there are other times you meet someone and as you start talking to them they start to become beautiful, just in what they say and how they say it, what they think, what they believe, the fact that they even think and have beliefs and the fact they even have something to say and say it with such passion. And before you know it you've been talking to them for hours and they've transformed into this beautifully gorgeous person right before you're eyes." I remember how mother's glowed with such love and joy as she spoke of this. She said 'Your father is the most beautiful person I've ever met."
I like my mother's vision that love makes people beautiful. It has nothing to do with their appearance really, though I know many people would argue that. But as I grew, and meet more and more people, all of the most beautiful and exquisitely picturesque individuals where always the dullest, and closed minded the most hateful and insufferable, the most hideous blacken souls I've ever meet. I always think how much I would love to meet someone who 'becomes' beautiful.
I thought Celeste loved me, but now I know she didn't. She was way to involved in what she wanted and her own plans. Everything she wanted to do was always what we did. Everything going on in her life was what was important. And I always had to do everything with her. She expected me to spend all my time with her and she never understood if I wanted to do something different or just have some time to myself. In the end I realized how little we actually had in common. But I always felt it wasn't important to have everything in common. It was nice to know someone with different interests so you could learn about them. And it's good, I felt for two people to spend some time apart doing their own things every so often. Celeste never could understand this. Why I would ever want to spend time away form her for a second. She always thought I was going to go off and be with someone else, and why could she come too? She didn't have to participate but couldn't she watch? As if all I ever did and cared about doing was have sex! I certainly know that there's more to love than sex. I just haven't met anyone else who also knows that.
Oh Sirius, God of Love and Compassion.
I have kept my heart open, so love and compassion may find it's way to me, so why hasn't it? Why must I suffer so? Why can I not find true love like my parents did? Will I meet anyone who truly loves me?. Someone who actually cares about my thoughts and feelings and doesn't treat me like a possession. Someone who doesn't just see me as a pretty little thing to show off to others or turn into a pet. It doesn't even have to be a lover, just a friend. A true friend. Not just someone who wears the mask of friendship or sees me as a temporary ally.
I don't want to be alone anymore.

Free Write Exercise. will scrap later. Yes, errors and typos abound. It's a free write. I'm trying to get into practice of ignoring my Inner Editor in Prep for NaNoWriMo. From the NaNo forums and the official NaNoWriMo guide book "No Plot, No Problem" The nagging voice of ones Inner Editor is a major cause of people not finishing their first drafts. They are so worried over getting all the little details right, it keeps them from getting the major "big picture elements of their story down. So please, you need not point out grammar/spelling errors.
