Prompt #3: What Are Your Thoughts On Love
When I was younger, I’m not ashamed to admit I was really idealistic about love. I was in love, and I was stupid enough to think it would last forever. It didn’t, and I learned to see it differently. I miss her, and yeah, sometimes I still wish things had lasted. But I’m not so idealistic that I believe there’d ever be a chance with her again.
Since I came to Atlantis, I’m not really that sure I’d want to anymore.
Love, I’ve learned, can be tricky. And it’s not something I can say I’ve always known. There’ve been a lot of years in my life where I’ve chosen to be alone. But these days I’m really starting to learn that there’s more to love than just being involved with someone. I love a lot of people in Atlantis, in different ways. I don’t think I’m about to go on about who and how. There are a lot of things I do, but saying I love someone isn’t one of them.
Sometimes it’s not by choice, and I’ve always thought maybe that’s what happened.
