I believe that a person should not have to work so hard for love. I need intamacy because when I love, I love mind, body and soul. Someone to share my thoughts with and who will share their thoughts with me. Sensuality is very important. The feeling of touch is stronger than what we may realise. The feeling of being enveloped in someones arms, feeling safe from a world of confusion, assumptions, and pain. Feeling wrapped in a person's arms that understands you entirely. Looking in to that person's eyes and within them, I see myself. For that person to know when I need to be held. A person that I can talk to about anything and find comfort in. Someone that I will find only truth in. Someone who listens to, not just the music, but the words in the song. A person who doesn't take life so seriously.Someone who will not expect me to change, but accept me for who I am. All of these things are difficult to find, but this is the way that I am and I believe that I am not the only hopeless romantic out there : I believe that friendship is hard to find. "Friend", is a strong word to me that is not given out generously. I have found through past experience, that everyone feeds off of others in one way or another. The difference between a stranger and a friend is that a friend may feed off of you, but they are also available to be fed off of. A friend will share with you the good and the bad. A friend will be there for you in times of need. A friend will always be honest. A friend may not always be understanding, but they will take a minute to listen. A friend is a person who you can feel comfortable with in your weakest moments and be remembered in the best of times. A friend will never judge you for what you are, but accept you because of who you are. People may come and go in your life, but a friend remains along your side throughout your lifetime... Life is very short. I have watched young people die around me. People that did have a chance to really live. It gives me the motivation to try to make myself happy. I try to go to bed at night without any regrets. Worry is something I avoid. Have you ever found yourself wondering if the sun will rise tomorrow? So when you feel the sun's warmth on your skin, do you wonder what it would be like if it wasn't there? Have you ever just sat in front of an ocean and watched the water move? The pure power of it. The sea salt is intoxicating. Do you take time out of your life to just sit back and escape in to your own thoughts? Have you ever listened to a song, closed your eyes, and feel your soul? I believe in what I see so I don't believe that we have a second chance in life. I try to make the best out of what I have. I have found that we spend more time living for others than what we do living for ourselves. By the time that we realise how strongly the people around us affect our lives, it is too late. I don't need to be rich, infact, I personally have a disliking for money because I have seen how it changes people and how it controls people. I have been rich and I have been poor but being happy is something that can not be bought. Happiness to me is when you can sit back, not have a worry in the world, and to be totally content within what you have. Happiness is not measured in time but in feeling. In life, you try to succeed at your dreams and aspirations. Your will of steel to succeed drives you on to the next day. Living is about knowing when it is time to take a break and smell the flowers. Living is about not taking advantage of the little things around you along the way. Feeling fear is knowing you are still alive. Feeling sadness is a part of your journey. Living is being able to put it all togather and learn from it all. Not regretting your experiences, but using them as a tool to guide you through life. Living is looking in to your childs eyes, knowing that you created that little human being and that you will not control them, but guide them through life's path of wonders and obstacles. Living is being proud of who you are and what you have accomplished throughout life. Living is hard to do... Even, if i'm not all that, i'm proud to be who i am.
