do you believe in magic?
lately i've had to talk a lot about love and relationships and what they mean and how they affect and effect us. well a broken hearted friend asked me today "do you think there can be REAL love? love that truly lasts between two people?" and i thought about it (my usual 2-second thought) and i answered like a 2 year old "of course!" then he asked me "oh yea? well do you know of anyone whose love has lasted for so long? a love that truly traveled the many roads of life?" (obviously he didn't say those exact words, i'm paraphrasing here) and i couldn't truly tell him of such example. and yet i believe. is naive to think that such mutual "attachment" is possible? is love just an "attachment"?
like the title of my post, i believe in magic. i believe in princesses and beauty beyond beauty. i believe in the fairy stories i tell my brothers and sisters, the ones i told my ex, and the ones i was told when i was a kid. i love to live dreaming of tales and adventures everywhere i go. i love making driving a game, i love waiting in line a challenge to come up with the strangest conversation, i love laughing about cheap jokes. i think it could be hard to find someone with whom i'd be as comfortable as i've been in the past but when i do i'll truly love that person. i will not hold back. i apparently did not learn from my past mistakes, hehe.
anyway...do you believe in magic? or do you think i am foolish?

I don't really believe in magic, but that's kind of what you usually get from most people who have studied philosophy of religion. Too realistic? Or just skeptic? Whichever suits your tastes.
But anyway, personally, I don't think there is such a thing as long-lasting "love" provided that this "love" we're talking about is that funny feeling of mixed infatuation and lust we usually call "love."
However, I do believe in long-lasting love that entails patience, sacrifice, and effort. I believe so because my parents are an example of this. I can't tell whether they still feel the same way toward each other back when they got married, though I believe that it's very doubtful that they do, but yet, they've been married for 26 difficult and long years now. Knowing what they experienced through their marriage, even I think it's rather odd yet inspiring that they're still together, especially in today's world. As cheesy as this may sound, their love conquered.
I really don't believe in people who are destined for each other. To me, it's completely a matter of compatibility and effort put into smoothing out differences.
And is it foolish of you to believe in magic? Not at all. To each their own (man, what's up with me and cliches today. Sheesh).
Sorry for the long comment. >_>
hehe, cliche woman! i see what you mean. my grandparents (from both my mom and dad's side) are also the same. they went through too many things in their lives and yet a bond, a love, conquered (hehe). so yea. i believe in people that are destined to each other, but that they become so. hehe, i dont know how to explain...there are people with whom you can try to work things out but no matter what you do or what things you have in common nothing will ever work out. and the opposite is true. there are some people that will...fit a little better. and all that is needed, as you put it, is to "smooth" out the differences.
