What's on your mind?

Thinking of ways to pester someone tomorrow but all my ideas are inappropriate

I’ve been listening to The White Stripes.
I really like Jack White’s lyrics.
That’s what’s on my mind.

And there was a time when all I wanted
Was my ice cream colder and a little cream soda, oh well, oh well
And a wooden box in an alley full of rocks
Was all I had to care about, oh well, oh well, oh well

Now my mind is filled with rubber tires, and forest fires
And whether I'm a liar, and lots of other situations where I don't know what to do
At which time God screams to me "There's nothing left for me to tell you."
Nothing left for me to tell you
Nothing left
Oh well, oh well, oh well
Oh well
Oh well, oh well, oh well
Oh well

Why does everyone wanna be in love so bad?

What’s so great about putting another person before yourself? Considering the needs and desires of another before your own? Being patient, kind, humble? Do people think it’s easy keeping no record of wrongs? What’s so wonderful about always trusting, hoping, protecting, persevering? It seems to me if people want to love they can go ahead and start doing it without waiting for some magical partner.

But I think I’d rather speak in the tongues of men and angels.

If I’m being honest, I’m a pretty selfish person. I put myself first a lot of the time. And I don’t have any real plans to change. I also spend my life with a very laid back person who knows this about me and accepts me for who I am, so I guess I feel less guilty than I should.


But love is beautiful. I feel like it’s worth all that. Sure it’s hard, but it’s those challenges that make the unit stronger. I get the appeal of spending your life with someone, but you’re right it’s no easy task and it doesn’t have to start with a life partner.

I don’t really know where I’m going with this tbh. Just my uncaffeinated thoughts.

we’re sharing uncaffeinated thoughts together! 😊

I envision love being, two that have themselves figured out (not being perfect beings) just capable of owning their Crap. Idk accountability, honesty and happy being themselves. Then meeting someone, who they genuinely can be their self with and both just meshing their two worlds, as one. Is that a thing? ❤️

I dunno that everyone *does* wanna be in love so bad. My experience is that love is a very personal thing, so much as in how it's defined as well as how it's expressed. As for the Biblical definition, the world would be a better place but some people would be sacrificing more of themselves than others to make it all uniform.

🤷‍♀️ maybe?

i think love requires a lot of work, forgiveness even in a good match. I think everyone has their limit.

i feel like life is easier, freer, more comfortable without that deep commitment to one person. And I wonder if people really really knew what it meant, would they be so keen.

I agree.. also feel like I’ve never been in love and I’m married.. so there’s that

...and you're not alone, sadly

You're definitely not alone on this.
