....erg.

Y'know, Depeche Mode's "Halo" is a bad bad thing to be listening to, no matter what fandom or 'ship you're concentrating on. I mean. Really. Bad.

Earlier, I had Sarah MacLachlan's "Wait" to make me think of Kitty/Pete. Because they had no resolution, and even if they did, it wouldn't be a happy go lucky type. And it's still vaguely painful. But. "Wait" is bad for that sort of thing (and then the double-whammy of "Fear" after it. Shit, it was like the Primer For a Bad Relationship....)

But. "Halo". Man. "When our worlds they come apart, when the walls come tumbling in..." End of the world stuff.

And how many of the couples or non-couples, or just people, single people. Worry about the end of the world and whether it was all worth it? And is it worth it?

"When all we wanted was the dream..." "Winter's end, promises of a long-lost friend..." "It will be worth it..."

Yes. But will it?

Hrm.

And is it a requisite that people have each other? (this is partially hypothetical). Is it required that each man, woman, child, have some significant other to be whole? Or can someone exist on their own and still be happy and content?

Or am I missing something essentially vital...

Oh well. At least my fictives benefit. Even if Bad Things also happen to them.

They called me a mook, once... ;]

Hi! I have no idea why I decided to randomly pounce this post. :p

Obviously the relationshippy questions depend on the person. Is it worth it? Depends on what kind of 'it' it is, and what you're willing to lose and still count a net gain.

I just thought I'd throw out my Theory on Love, for no particular reason whatsoever. :p

I think that if an adult has never loved someone unconditionally, and been loved unconditionally by the same person, then they are missing something vital. Call it a fundamental reference point, maybe.

I don't think sex is a required component to that. I think parents and siblings and friends count. I think the only way you're missing something vital by not pairing off Noah-style is if you haven't ever loved/been loved like that. Until you do, how can you know if you have the capacity to be that brave?

I also think you listen to scary music.

*scritch*

I think you're right, actually. Love is a good thing.

Hrm. Food for thought.
