Swim at Your Own Risk by John M Walker

For some reason, my imagination gets the best of me and it starts putting my thoughts & feelings into a mental picture similar to a painting or a slow motion movie scene that somehow correlates to what I'm feeling at the moment and/or stress related.

This particular thought is about Love and falling in general so l imagine that it's like sinking in an ocean of emotion, there are all these "THINGS" attached or around us that keep us buoyant, and the longer we swim in those feelings and our heart & soul keep getting fed and nurtured the more we sink causing us to willingly lose the fight and fall deeper past the layer of doubt and skepticism becoming totally immersed rolling head over heels in Love.

The water is turbulent, and there are many pieces of life floating all around us that we could choose at any point to grab onto to keep our heads up above that water. We can choose to quit and climb out of the confusing frustration at almost anytime but at some point, you are inspired by another, or afraid of being alone and entertain "that" thought , it's at this very moment when you choose to sink or swim in the love being fed to you and decide, for yourself alone, if not only is he or she is worthy but are we ourselves worthy of loving and being loved; you question everything and everyone around you with motive, you're looking to justify the "why" or assign blame for the "why not" to justify an intangible feeling in order to realize what you're left with.

So then why does Love have to be over complicated with new standards based on popular advertising from a Hollywood studio?? I thought that if two people really liked each other, (a whole lot), had common interests and goals then it could just blossom into something more with natural beauty.

Now, that this day and age are upon us, you have to go through a barrage of questions, pass the 52 points of compatibility test , decide which one of the hundreds of dating sites you are made to believe are right for you, then window shop until you find someone your attracted to and then read the "for sale or trade" ads that are written hoping that even a portion of the stuff you just read is remotely true, only to agree on a destination for an "interview".
