Communication is a funny thing. It's interesting how life throws stressful situations at you and it makes your body systems go haywire. It is like the universe is saying something needs to be different in your life.
Sometimes what we want to say has very simple words, but emotions flood and all we can do is yell or string a bunch of irrational words together. Sometimes we cannot communicate our true feelings because the stress of rejection is hanging above our heads. We're afraid of the truth because if it is anything different than what we need it to be, we are afraid that our hearts will break and we will die.
We're also afraid that if the truth is what we need it to be, we will have to break down the walls we've been surrounding ourselves with for years. We will have to let someone into our fortress and we're afraid that if things don't work out, we will also die. Only this death will be worse because we might have to start over on building the walls and we'll be left unprotected facing our sorrow with no barriers.
Love is praised as such a wonderful splendid thing. Yet, love can also kill you. It can break you down and drive you mad. One-sided love without reciprocation can break a heart. Two-sided love that doesn't work out can break two hearts. Friends moving away or friendships ending can make one's heart sad. Therefore, love is a dangerous business. Unless love is successful, there are so many ways in which love can harm or kill you.
Love is a silent killer. It is silent in that sometimes love seems foolish and you feel compelled to hold that hurt inside because you wonder if it was even reasonable to have the feelings you had for someone who wasn't yours.
It is also silent because love is experienced by individuals in different ways. We can only know our own experience of love through how we feel inside. The only one who can experience your breed of butterflies is yourself.
As such, love is a secret to every person. In some sense, love is a solitary experience that might be mutual between a couple and manifests itself inside them in different ways.
In conclusion, love is not a cut and dry issue. Love can be wonderful, but it can also be painful and disappointing.
Love can hinder communication and make rational people irrational.
I believe there should be Love Rehabilitation Facilities where one can get some therapy, self-esteem training, and daily hugs to get them through their mourning period after love has gone bad. Let's face it. Love can turn people crazy and the crazy deserve assistance so they can resume being functional members of society.
