I'm alright I suppose, you?
Point is, what's so wonderful is that every one of these flowers has a specific relationship with the insect that pollinates it. There's a certain orchid look exactly like a certain insect so the insect is drawn to this flower, its double, its soul mate, and wants nothing more than to make love to it. And after the insect flies off, spots another soul-mate flower and makes love to it, thus pollinating it. And neither the flower nor the insect will ever understand the significance of their lovemaking. I mean, how could they know that because of their little dance the world lives? But it does. By simply doing what they're designed to do, something large and magnificent happens. In this sense they show us how to live - how the only barometer you have is your heart. How, when you spot your flower, you can't let anything get in your way.

Yea, I'm kinda cold and tired myself. sleepy
I think my main problem is I'm not willing to settle. I don't want to couple up just for the sake of it, I wanna fall in love, the real kind, where you think about them all the time, where you hear a song that reminds you of them, see a sticker that you think will make them laugh, smell the grass after the rain and remember the last time you lay there and looked at the stars holding hands. The kind where he makes me laugh and blush at the same time, where he does unexpected little things like holding open doors or bringing me a single red rose, where he actually loves me. I'd show him the same kind of love in return. That's my kind of love, not this drunken making out under the stairs after the latest kegger, I'll pass.
Maybe my expectations are too high. Is that way too much to ask? Maybe our world's too superficial and shallow to accept people for how they are and not how they dress, look, speak, etc and in the end people end up alone because they just can't make that connection with or find that someone who's worthy of them and who they're worthy of in return, who'll love them without condition or boundary. I'll never settle for luke warm love,
"....but love that... over-throws life. Unbiddable, ungovernable - like a riot in the heart, and nothing to be done, come ruin or rapture. Love - like there has never been in a play." -Viola [Shakespeare in Love]
