How many poems have been written in the name of love? How many stories tell of romance and happily ever after? And there are tales of the heartbreak, too. Abuse.
How many times have you said it's not worth it? Have you decided love is a fairy tale or you'll never have luck with that kind of stuff?
When you're in a loving relationship with someone it feels so amazing. And then when someone breaks up with you it hurts so bad. Maybe I'll write about it, just for myself.
I'd like to hear what you guys and gals have to say. What do you think about love and sex and relationships?

If You Forget Me
If You Forget Me
"I want you to know
one thing.
You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.
Well, now,
if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.
If suddenly
you forget me
do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.
If you think it long and mad,

Gender Inequalities in Art
I can't be the only one who notices this as an artist or member of this website, but every time I see the front page there are multiple images of women in scanty outfits. Alright. I'm used to it. But something I've been noticing lately has been bugging me..
Why are action/adventure scenes so dominated by males? And when there is a female the piece always has to emphasize her sexuality and body?
Examples:

Caution: Biblical Stuffz Inside
I need to get a blog or something for times like these when I have random things to say that don't pertain to DA. Except no one would see it elsewhere so then there'd be no discussion
My father-in-law posted on Facebook this morning.
"Don't waste what is holy on people who are unholy. Don't throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you." Matthew 7:6
Minus calling people unholy pigs, I agree we should not try to convert people. He agrees, that is the job of the Holy Spirit. I say, words and readings alone cannot engender faith. You have to be touched. Despite being raised Catholic, studying the Bible, att
Love
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way
than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so

Call me a hopeless romantic or an idealist, but I believe that all people need someone in their lives to love deeply and have those feelings returned; not an intimate romantic relationship per se, but even a strong platonic one.
Maintaining a healthy and happy relationship is definitely the most challenging, emotionally and mentally taxing of all social interactions, but regardless of the obstacles and hassles that constantly present themselves, the rewards that follow overcoming adversity are worth all the trouble.
I'm not so conservative that I believe sex should only be reserved until after marriage, but I do firmly believe that it should only happen between two individuals who deeply love one another and who have known one another for a long time. In my mind, you should be able to imagine yourself being with this individual in the future-- not necessarily together in marriage, just happily together. These feelings of course must be reciprocated by your partner.
Open-relationships, multiple spouses and lovers... I have never respected such things and never will.
