Is it me or does life like to give everything to you at once? You have to do most (or in some peoples cases all) of your leaning at the very start of your life, just the first 10 years or so. You may think this is rubbish, but start to think about the information and life skills you have. Like being able to tell if someone is forcing a smile, that you take for granted and you will begin to understand my point. When you find love, everything seems to happen at once, all those feelings pour out. The term “midlife crisis” describes a time when many people find that everything is just too much for them. Many people go from feeling fine and well to ill in hospital in a matter of weeks and even days sometimes. Perhaps this is life’s ways of kicking you up the arse every now and then. Maybe it is a little test, to “make or break you”. This is what the army does, push you and see if they can “break you”. Many will then say that you have proved yourself if they do not “break you”. In reality, I think they break everyone. Soldiers who have lived through wars, emerging at the end fine and apparently unscathed years down the line quite often end up with bad dreams, hearing voices, replaying moments over and over and over in their minds. It occurs to me that these people must just be covering up what they feel, pulling the wool over other’s eyes. But don’t we do this all the time? Even under oath in court, people try to pull the wool over others eyes, and that’s under oath! There is no oath to others in life…who knows how many people do it, just omit certain details, neglect minor facts, white lies…everyone’s done. If this is the case, how can we ever know what others are thinking? We can’t is the simple truth of it, we are just acting. I suppose this is a way of defining love, someone so special that you tell them everything, and they know you are telling them everything.
