last night, over sushi with good girlfriends (i kid you not, it was very sex and the city minus the promiscuity) we ended up talking about "love", as we often do.
our topic of choice was "plotting"our good friend's unfolding love story, and much discussion was had on plans of action (or inaction), and while i won't discuss the sordid details, I kept on thinking to myself, is it really this hard for people to find love? should it really entail this much effort?
i was weaned on many great and dramatic love stories, from your garden-variety fairytale to the epic starcrossed lovers-type, but the ones i ended up loving the most are the simplest ones - where outside of the dramatic meet-cutes and the slow motion meeting of the eyes - some very ordinary circumstances bring about the most extraordinary of experiences. and somehow from there every "average" is made great.
i truly believe that great love, real love, should be had without a significant amount of pain and effort on our part. nothing should be that hard. now it makes me wonder if we are asking too much out of fate and circumstance in looking for all the hoopla that comes our view of romantic love.
its the person that will make it romantic, after all. must give this more thought.
