I Don't Get It
And I never will understand why it’s such a terrible thing, when you enjoy the hell out of someone, you really like being around them, you really think they’re cool and you have a lot of fun with them....why it’s so wrong to want to spend time with them.
It’s like people can’t handle the fact that they might actually be really damn special in someone else’s eyes.
This is why I like animals more than people. It’s unconditional love. They don’t care how much you smoke, or drink or that you curse at the newscasters on the television. They don’t care that you had a rough day and just want to lay there, staring at the ceiling. They don’t care if you weren’t perfect that day.
All they care about is that you love them. All they care about is that you spend some good, honest, quality time with them. You leave for 5 minutes and they at like you’ve been gone for hours. They come to you, crawl up on you, lick you, talk to you, cuddle with you because all they care about is that you’re here, with them and giving them their love back.
I so wish people could be like that.
I have a saying and I will forever stick to it: Find all the reasons you CAN spend time with someone instead of all the reasons you can’t.
You would be amazed the rewards you receive for doing just that and that, kids, IS what life is about.
Life is about sharing and spending time with those you love.
I think too many people don’t understand this or have forgotten it along the way.
Don’t wait until it’s too late. If you love someone, show them. Sometimes showing them means sacrifice. Sometimes showing them means just spending time with them, laying on the bed, staring at the ceiling and just letting them be, letting them know they aren’t alone, letting them know that tomorrow is another day and they are loved.
It’s not that damn hard.
Just ask any pet.
