I was listening to Ed Lover and Dr. Dre on the radio the other morning and they was asking people if true love still existed today??
do you think it does??
i do and don't, cuz so many people are saying the words "I love you" like its an everyday word...people get married just to have that status or for someone's money... people don't understand what love really is anymore, sad to say...you don't see couples like my grandparents together for thirty, forty, fifty years no more...
but...
right now i know for a fact that i have found my true love and he is someone i don't want to ever leave my heart....he is my other half, my inspiration, my thoughts, motivation, everything....
true love is a wonderful feeling and if you ever find your other half, you should do whatever you can to keep him/her cuz its a one in a billion chance to find another....
so what are y'all views on this topic??
know this is long and drawn out but TRUE LOVE DOES EXIST, it's never went anywhere, people are just lost as all hell these days...living in a warped world surrounded by quick lust and pessimism, especially young black men. And now the young black women are trying to follow suit. Not only does true love still exist, but don't believe the hype: THERE ARE STILL GOOD BLACK MEN OUT HERE Search for MEN, not BOYS and you cannot go wrong!
I would quote the whole post...but girl u know that was a lil lengthy. That's ok tho hun, cuz i was feelin it :wink: ! But that line really stuck out to me. Peeps actin like love fell off the face of the earth or sumthin. God is love, and God is still in control. He isn't going anywhere, so neither is love. But since peeps are seeking ROMANCE, instead of love (God), they're falling short of something that is much more powerful/meaningful.

Quoting my favorite scripture: LOVE is patient, LOVE is KIND... it is not rude... it is not proud... it is not self-seeking...it does not anger...LOVE DOES NOT DELIGHT IN EVIL BUT REJOICES WITH TRUTH...
It always protects, it always trusts, it always hopes, it ALWAYS perserveres!
-1Corinthians 13
I swear to all goodness that i was going to post this scripture. Dang girl, u beat me to the punch. But yeah, that's wassup. If u ever doubt what REAL love is...checkout that scripture.]
I think it can but so many people use the word so freely. like my sister who was dating this guy and after a week he would say i love you and she would say it too, but she'd be like i know he doesn't love me. then why you say it? even though i know why he was saying it. i never say it unless i mean it.

Oooh gawd! :lol: That is a pet peeve of mine, people falling in "lust" but calling it "love" to save face :roll:

^^*sadly shaking my head*
((babyface, why are folks so quick to give up on LOVE and give up on GOD... HE's only showing them something that they're too stubborn to see... Don't they know that GOD IS LOVE and that GOD only has their best interest at heart?))
I wish, hon, I wish folks could see these things. Folks are so adamant on having things go their way even if it aint GOD's way<--but there is NO OTHER WAY and until they see this, they will keep bumping their heads against a wall; and do they know that GOD is NEVER wrong? Only people can be wrong! A lot of times, people fail to see a blessing, what do they call it these days? A broken heart? Oh okay.
Folks be so hung up on their hurt feelings and "Why did so and so do this to me" when it is all GODs way of saying: "he/she was never yours to begin with, yall were never even meant to be. I haven't sent you your soulmate yet, now suck it up and get yourself together so you can be ready for 'em when I send 'em! And I aint gonna send 'em to ya until ya get yaself together! You want love? Start with YOU" :idea:
~*singing my favorite BeeGee's song*~
"nobody gets too much heaven on earth... it's... much harder to come by...I'm waiting in liiiine! Nobody gets... too... much love anymore.... it's... as high as a mountain... but harder to cliiiimb!"
Ya'll would be mad if I quoted everything she said so I will say this...
GOTDAMMIT GURL! YOU PREACHING!!!
that was directed towardsbabyfaced1908 :arrow:
Its not even a matter of sorting them out. I know there's some decent ones out there, and a whole lot that shatter all of my expectations after talking to them. Its not even hard to find them. Its the ones that actually want to be with someone else that actually appreciates them, or even someone to begin with that's hard to find...
^^^ :? What does religion have to do with LOVE? Just asking, I feel this was kind of directed towards me since I mentioned GOD. Again, GOD is LOVE. GOD is only religion if you want HIM to be :wink: That's a whole other issue. But again, you are so focused on how hurt your feelings are that you cannot see the blessing that HE has bestowed upon you. GOD sends each individual into our life to teach us something, even if the lesson hurts, it is still a lesson nonetheless. This girl was nothing but a waste of space in your life that GOD has freed up so when the time does come for you to meet your soulmate, you will not be fixated on what others have done to you in your past. In other words, GOD does away with the old to make room for the new :wink: You are frustrated now and that is understandable. But know that REAL LOVE is far from frustrating and aggravating.
You say you came up in the church. Well pray for clarity. No disrespect, but this is between YOU and GOD now, not your church or what you have done for it. You say things are getting worse but what are you doing or NOT doing in your life that things are this way?
I'm not trying to preach here or tell you how to live your life but you cannot expect for anyone to like or love you more than YOU. For those of us who have mastered this art of self-love, there is no such thing as a brokenheart :wink:
Once you figure out the power of self-love then you are untouchable; in the end, everything will be alright.
^^Sorry, I just needed to prove a point. You are indeed STUBBORN as HELL! :lol:
Now I give the hell up!
To all: FOLKS! LOVE NEVER EVER WENT ANY DAMN PLACE! LIKE MUH BOI MUSIQ SAYS ABOUT IT:
"(LOVE!)So many people use your name in vain!(LOVE!) Those who have faith in you sometimes go astray!(LOVE!)Through all the ups and DOWNS the joys and HURTS!(LOVE!) For better or WORSE I still will CHOOSE you first!"
That is my anthem! That is why I am so happy, regardless of the lemons life may send my way!
GOOD LUCK AND MANY BLESSINGS TO THOSE WHO ARE SEEKING TRUE LOVE! MAY GOD BE WITH YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY! 8) :arrow:
