We are all fools in love

Most people hate clichés... I must admit that I don't have any strong love for them myself but at the same time I must admit that they do ring true so very often.

Many of you might have heard the saying that is the title of this post. It is, in a sense, a cliché itself. But it rings so very true. We are complete idiots really. We spend our days and nights completely obsessing over someone and yet when we are with them we are unable to admit our true feelings and desires to the same even when it is apparent that they return at least our love. Another horrid thing that makes us fools in love is that we doubt the smallest things while all the while wishing with our entire beings that the thing we are doubting is true. Someone tells you that they love you. You cry for joy that it is finally out there and then you start to worry...what if they are just toying with you? What if now they are secretly laughing at you. They have done nothing but show kindness to you but all of the sudden you begin to worry that it is all a lie simply because you think it is too good to be true...People lie..you know this...people have lied to you before so why would this person be any different. Which is why any relationship that survives, survives because of communication. We just have to keep reassuring each other, working things out and being patient and forgiving because it is not just doubting the other person, it is doubting ourselves and our perceptions.

I find it so easy to tell when someone is hitting on someone else but I am completely oblivious when the person being flirted with is me. Either 1. I'm not looking for it and therefore can't see it or 2. I have wished it before so that when it happens I think I'm just reading into nothing, that it is just another day-dream....

Another foolish thing is our lack of ability to carry on a serious conversation. Most of the time, in my limited experience, this is a trait of either one or the other and not both. Some people just can't carry on a serious conversation for longer than two min. (see my rant on communication)

I guess that's all I'm going to say right now though...I'm too beat from work...
