Let's have a little reality check here, People! First of all, the average life span is only until 75. So if a young person, say 25, chooses to say those 3 absolutely feared words, "I love you", in stone to their beloved through the act of marriage and both mutually agree, 'Til Death Do Us Part' they are voluntarily agreeing to live a life in coexistence with this other being. And the reality check is that one, emphasize the one!, person can change a whole hell of a lot in 50 years, so how likely is it to find someone who will not only change in the same ways along with you, but changes happily and without any resistance?! IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!! And that's why I think marriage is an absolutely pointless institution. At the base level, it is a contract of love, guaranteeing one's feelings to only be directed towards the other one who signed the contract. This guarantee guarantees security to the insecure, and if the guarantee is broken, then justice will be served for such an unlawful act as being human.
The way I can explain relationships is like this, we are attracted to those who inspire us. When the inspiration is gone, it's only natural to look for another source of inspiration. This isn't brain science, earthlings! You don't keep going to the same well when it's dry hoping to find water, when it's dry you look for another well! And so it is.
I also have no fucking clue why some people break out in hives when another they are or have been intimate with shares their feelings in the form of the 3 most feared words on this planet. I. love. you. It's just a feeling, and as we ALL know we each have a gazillion of those every day, and if you don't there is something wrong with you. Hence, feelings are just temporary, not permanent. And that's why 'owning your feelings' with I-statements is so en vogue right now, to help drive in the point that they are always changing.* So perhaps the real present moment meaning of those 3 little words is this, I love the way you make me feel in this moment and this moment only. At least, that's how I see it.
Now that I've officially killed cupid, I'm off to solve other world problems.
Love,
The female Johnny Depp who's not about to fall for the tax cut as a means of sacrificing her freedom to find inspiration wherever the hell she chooses.
(*Even if you've had the same feelings towards your family for the past 10+years, in the grand scheme of life, 10 years is merely a drop in the bucket.)
