Your Love is a part of you. You try to give it away because you cannot bear its radiance, but you cannot separate it from yourself.

"You are the best. You are the worst. You are average. Your love is a part of you. You try to give it away because you cannot bear its radiance, but you cannot separate it from yourself. To understand your fellow humans, you must understand why you give them your love. You must realize that hate is but a crime-ridden subdivision of love. You must reclaim what you never lost. You must take leave of your sanity, and yet be fully responsible for your actions.
" -Gnarls Barkley, in a letter to the legendary rock critic Lester Bangs

Reading this, gives me a clear understading of what I need to fully grasp my mind around while I'm on my quest to define what love is and what it will be to me. I can't really say that I've been in love before, so its definately not on my list of things that need to be redefined according to my own standards. But, "To understand your fellow humans, you must understand why you give them your love" makes so much sense to me. And the fact that," your love is a part of you. You try to give it away because you cannot bear its radiance, but you cannot separate it from yourself." Is something that, I guess unknowingly of this truth, tried to supress and destroy, by determining that a relationship was not something that I wanted to be in. By shutting myself off to all others who may in the future want to get in. The love that I have inside, as a human being cannot be supressed or destroyed, simply because it is too strong of an emotion to contain. I hate it when simple things such as this, have to be pointed out for observation, when its almost like common knowledge! I'll definately be taking this quote into serious thought and application to my life, over the next few days, weeks..hell, maybe even months.

Which reminds me, J and I talked about how I had been feeling for the past few days, and we managed to communicate. He hit on somethings that I needed to know about myself, which I'm always grateful for. He never used to want to do it, but its crucial for me to know things that are hinderances to our progression and success together, so I strive to let him know that I need for him to tell me these things. I guess communication really does work, because we managed to get over it, and we move on. I'm learning, I'm loving, I'm learning and loving.






Feeeeeeling this old school joing right heeereee! Definately feeling this way today....
