Society brainwashes us from the time that we are born; girls in pink boys in blue.
Girls do not play rugged sports, boys do; girls clean, have kids, while men work.
This is ridiculous.
Look at how “mommies and daddies” teach their sons when they are little that girls go first; however, girls are never told that, so they grow up thinking that that is how everything should be.
This all creates a surplus amount of problems.
Like then the girls wait for the perfect gentlemen, and we all know he doesn’t genuinely exist, because no one is “perfect.”
That makes girls who grow up wanting to open the door for someone else to be nice, question themselves and how they are seen; just adding on to the rest of the pressure they will feel through their adolescent years.
And in all honesty the same goes for a man, if he wants to stay single, let him.
Take for example the books children are read when little or the shows they watch.
Every damn Disney fairytale story deals with the girl being so fragile and weak and the male must swoop in and save her; all but maybe Mulan, and the occasional random one.
So then, from the get go, girls are being pushed into one way of thinking; then it is harder for the girl to push through and be independent without every single fucking person in the world questioning why she won’t date, or why she doesn’t want a man. “Doesn’t she want to be happy when she gets older?” “Doesn’t she want children, a family?” Blah blah blah. Bullshit bullshit bullshit.
Not only does this do that to the females but think of the boys; the ones who don’t want to be all macho and save the day, maybe they want to write or sing or act.
Maybe they want to be saved.
But nay, men can’t do any of those things.
Heaven forbid them want to act on stage, wear makeup or sing to the wizard of oz; then at that same point at the age they hit when society is most critical, they are labeled gay or much worse.
And it doesn’t end there. Oh no! It couldn’t end there!
So then the media knows it can play on the whims of these young adolescent minds (15-30).
With these movies and books and various stories about love and heroism that is put up
even when the person is finally okay with who they are something has to happen to knock them on their societal ass.
Like they go see a movie and think ‘Why the hell can’t I fall in love?’
Or why the hell is it because he has aids and is male and sings he’s automatically gay.
Why is it that because a black male is with a white girl it’s because of her daddy’s money, or vice versa for that matter.
All because by the time you’re old enough to realize what you’ve been brainwashed into, it’s far too late to undo the hardwiring that has already been done.
It’s just like you can’t teach an old dog a new trick; you can try and try and try, and yes the dog may learn the trick and go through the motions and seem like he’s got it down, but in that moment of vulnerability he will always revert to what he was taught first.
His instincts.
Take example of that to people who go feral.
They revert to basically an animal; they know nothing of society or the bounds it has on any issue in the mind.
They only know what they have taught them self, or what the land has taught them, or even if they have been following God or another religious figure; and still then it’s a touchy question.
People always revert to their natural born instinct; if you’re always taught blue is red and red is blue, then you hit kindergarten; are you going to believe your parents or the teacher, this person you just met?
You’ll go with your first instinct, what was first taught to you.
Hence fairytales fuck up kid’s lives; and everyone else’s.
The end.
So. I am still in fact in a very lovey mood. I read another love story and my heart melted. Ha. SO! I have decided to find songs and quotes and other little interesting tidbits to write about (technically, include in my writing).
To start, some quotes about love I fancy.
“To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.” – Heather Cortez
“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.” – Helen Keller
“Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning.” – Anonymous (couldn’t find anyone)
“A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species of woman in whose company he finds himself electrified and enkindled, but for that one in whose company he may feel tenderly drowsy.” – George Jean Nathan
And two I liked that are not really Lovey-dovey, rather my kind of love. 
(insight into my ideas on love hah)
“We say we love flowers, yet we pluck them. We say we love trees, yet we cut them down. And people still wonder why some are afraid when told they are loved.” – anonymous
“I love you. Good-by – because I love you.” – The Awakening by Kate Chopin. You have to read the story to understand, otherwise it would be far to hard, and to me, nearly impossible to explain the true love that exudes from this quote.
Next, I shall include some songs about love, that I love♥.
Recently found songs.
1. Hold on by 33 miles. Yes this song is about God; but what a better love than a person’s connection with their religious leader? It is a beautiful song and about a bond between two beings. It could be a love song.
2. Eclipse (All Yours) by Metric. Yes it was made for the movie Eclipse, but it is a wonderful love song. In the title it explains it all.
3. My Love by Sia. I will admit it takes some getting used to in order to like it; it’s not a music style that is widely popular, but it is good.
4. Beautiful Love by The Afters. The lyrics are simply full of love. Again, it is in fact all in the name.
5. Love Like Crazy by Lee Brice. This song gives me butterflies! “Be a best friend, tell the truth, and overuse I love you.”
Songs I’ve had around for awhile.
1. Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol. This song specifically (to me) relates to a boy that I was crazy head over heels for at one point in time. Easy come, easy go is my phillosophy with guys. However it has a good meaning: “If I lay here.. would you lie with me and forget the world?”
2. You and Me by Lifehouse. Yes Lifehouse is a religious band, however I do not necessarily think this song is specifically about God.
3. Far Away by Nickelback. “You know I love you, I’ve loved you all along.”
4. Always by Saliva. The acoustic version… BUT! I could not find a good acoustic version on YouTube like the version on my iPod. Ha. So! The regular version. Now this song is a little more “demented” (shall we say). But to me, it is in fact a damn good love song.
Country love songs that have my heart.
1. Meet in the Middle by Diamond Rio. A love song about how meeting in the middle is where love is at.
2. Somebody like you by Keith Urban. This is a sing with the windows down and loving life kinda song.
3. My Wish by Rascal Flatts. This song is a super favorite of mine; so much so that it is in fact my ring tone. This song can be heard at graduation ceremonies, slow songs at school dances and anything from father-daughter dances to ‘Mr & Mrs’ first dances.
4. Suds in the Bucket by Sara Evans. A cute love song about a young girl following her heart.
5. Amazed by Lonestar. Just a good country love song! Another big ‘Mr & Mrs’ dance no doubt.
Basically I have fallen in love with the idea of Love. And yes the idea of love because the few memories of feeling related to Love nearly crippled me. Therefore, I’m in love with the idea of love. My own little Love fairytale.
