Lusty advice

Love is not like Lust. It does not fade after a few weeks or months. It stays around, quietly lurking at times, sometimes quietly calling if we are lucky. It does not hurt, it does not play hard on our mind, but rather asks questions that can be answered. Sometimes, this Love thing can play on for years, often with other stories overlapping. It is up to us to figure out where it has begun, and where it will end. Often, not the same thing.
We all like to think of Lust as something a 15 year old thinks of as they are daydreaming. a 40 something daydreams too. This is the thing. Lust is hormones as we all think it, but also it is our dreams projected onto someone else. It is thinking someone else is sharing the same exact thoughts or that they may feel the same exact way.
Not so, dear Pirates!! Be assured that we are all built with our own perceptions, and perception is reality. Make sure you are loving someone who is really loving you back and sees the same things you see. I have learned that the most passionate relationships I can have are close and are far (in many ways) but they are all true and clear. The others, are still being worked on, or are being left alone to rest in their peaceful place. I am all about leaving things alone, believe it or not, the only things I like to question are the things that someone else has laid out.
Love is full of many interpretations. Some would like it to be one solid definition. I do not believe that "love" is the same for everyone. For me, it remains on my compass on many different definitions and always has.
Love is in your friends and your family. It doesn't have to be a Hallmark card. If you have the life similar to mine, then take the time to thank God, and share your time with people less fortunate, in however way you can. It's not about money, its about the time...trust me, I 'm a huge advocate of time spent on people who are not as lucky or as "loved."

Happy Valentine's Day to your family, friends and loved ones. You guys are smarter than I so figure out some ways to do something lovely for someone or group today!!!
