To Love Is Something Analysis

To quote the author, Themis Tolis, "To love is nothing. To be loved is something. But to love and be loved, that’s everything." From the moment I met you, I knew that you’d be the one I would want to be in my life forever. My feelings for you started out small because I knew that there was a chance that we would not be able to have a life together but as I began to know you more and more, the feelings grew. I attempted to hide them more than I let them show but oftentimes I fell short. I remember when we first started talking on a regular basis after I told you I liked you. Occasionally, I would build a fantasy of you and it would include visions of us kissing, holding each other, acting silly, and various scenarios of us spending time with

I love to see others happy or at peace even if that sometimes leave me in a destitute place. I know that this type of sacrifice results in me being hurt or taken advantage of but my heart and spirit outweigh my feelings, so when I get hurt, I accept it and eventually move on. I’ve said all of that to say, my idea of reciprocity is to give what you get from the beginning but if you can’t fulfill that requirement at least halfway then maybe a compromise can be met. I’ve had relationships where I’ve tried to demand reciprocity and it seemed to always fail. I placed my hopes and expectations in the person, instead of acknowledging their actions and it didn’t end well. So, what I require from you, is that you treat me how you would treat yourself, if you would treat yourself like a Queen, then it couldn’t hurt for you to treat me like a King because I’m sure I’d be too amazed that I have a Goddess in my presence to ever treat you less than what you expect. Also, since Christian is me, just in a little girl’s body, I would expect her to be treated better than I am. Her and I come as a package deal. Knowing that she doesn’t have a consistent mother figure in her life besides my mother, puts me in a place where I need to provide her needs before I even attempt to think about mine. I pray that whatever we become, provides blessings,

And just for the record, I’ve been ready and waiting to put in this work for a few years now. My personal plan is to go to Law School and get my J.D. because I want us to build our relationship from now until then and after. Depending on which school I get accepted into, I’ll come visit you and vice versa. We’ll talk/text/video chat on a regular basis. I already feel like you are the one I can spend years and years with so I can envision us being engaged before I graduate Law School. Buying a house, watching you glow in your interests. If you go back to school, watching you walk across the stage as you receive your degree. I want us to have children, it can be 1, 2, 3, etc. whatever number you desire, I just want Chris to have a sibling or two, but that’s only if things work out completely with us. If things don’t go according to our plans, then I would love for us to remain friends like we’ve been for all of this time. I know the dynamics of our relationship might change because of how we see each other throughout time but I wish that we end on good terms because once I give you a part of me, I won’t be able to take it back. I know people say, “don’t date your friends because it might ruin the friendship” but I’d rather have you as a friend than not have you in my life at
