Is love something positive?
I thought about this question when I heard quite a lot of people complaining.
Not necessarily towards me, it was about the prices in the grocery stores.
Where I am working as a general employee, doing what needs to be finished for that day.
It is around christmas time at the moment and the complaints make sense in combination with the season.
Perhaps there are some heavy topics people are feeling and don’t know how to express in other words.
It might be even something else, I guess this is what Christmas is doing to some people.
I can understand, talking is difficult.
What better way to ventilate to someone you don’t know.
I guess that’s just easy, perhaps even healthy.
When these complaints were passing my eyes, I was thinking about when we’re having a relationship and we sometimes need to listen to the negativity of our partner.
Let’s call them complaints for this story.
It made me think, is love something positive?
There was something more personal making me think about this question.
A journey of my own, where I have been sensitive to the negative of others.
Which makes me wonder after hearing all those complaints, should love be something positive?
‘People who are single want to be in a relationship and people in a relationship want to be single’.
This is what I’ve heard some day, I can’t recall exactly when.
I don’t know anymore when I said those words. It was somewhere last week.
The context was matching and it was fitting right in the conversation we were having.
The person I was talking to stayed silent and had to laugh just a little.
He agreed with what I was saying.
I don’t know if this falls in the same category, however there is something negative about it for me.
Why is the other side so alluring to some and can’t we be happy with what we have?
Of course it isn’t meant in the personal sense, more when it comes to having a relationship or being single.
I was thinking for myself if I’d rather be in a different place or if I am content with where I am right now.
Just a reality check I guess, not necessarily a question to me.
Perhaps to better understand where I am in the space of negative or positive.
Where I’d leave the answer to myself.
Since I don’t necessarily want to be in a relationship.
I guess that is my answer.
It could even be the reason I am still single.
I don’t complain about the weather and when I think something is too expensive I just don’t buy it.
If the sun doesn’t shine, of course I feel a little bit sad.
After winter comes spring, then there is summer and autumn.
Rain and wind are also part of nature.
I think I am quite balanced when it comes to my emotions.
But If I really don’t have any other option, I just cry about it.
