Where Did Love Go?

______________________________________________________________

Dear Right Advice,
-BlahBlahBlah- sick of this one liner superficial kind of love -BlahBlahBlah- I soooo sick of hearing things like, "she's just not that into you." -BlahBlahBlah- texting someone to break up with them -BlahBlahBlah- all of the self help relationship BS books -BlahBlahBlah- Excuse me but I think people have been falling in love for centuries before all of -BlahBlahBlah- What ever happened to love that was so romantic and passionate that Shakespear, EE Cummings, and William Blake -BlahBlahBlah- When did love become about as poienient and long as a beer commercial. What about actually having some BALLS and risking something on someone worth it?

Sincerely,
-BlahBlahBlah-

Oh Fucking Shut Up. Sonnets are just SONNETS and the ambiguity of the language allows you to create in your head a love that doesn't exist or - at best - doesn't exist for very long. Additionally William Blake was a man of reverence (before fucking in cars ever existed) so consider yourself somewhat removed from the feelings which could exist between he and those he loved.

Why are there so many books about relationships and love? Because they sell... just like Shakespeare et al. And the people who buy those books are the same people who forget that Romeo and Juliet were pubescent CHILDREN and think that reading self help books on love will help them achieve some fictional, eternal bliss. Love takes time and patients and, most importantly, self esteem. But in 200 years people will be reading our self help books from today and whine about how people in the 21st century were so lucky to have love all figured out.

My advice to you: Keep your next 3-day spurt of white-hot love from burning out by forming a suicide pact.
