That vital organ we call a heart...

Ever year, in a hundred films, a thousand songs, a million novels and  a billion people, heart brake is bought to life. I think people fail to see that heart brake is just disappointment on a massive scale, heart brake is when things don't pan out how one hoped, aged two i experienced heart brake, when I discovered I was not going to be getting baby Annabelle  for Christmas, whilst this isn't quite like the turmoil and emotional treachery Elizabeth Bennett felt when she thought she'd lost her Mr Darcy, at the time it was just as a real.

But we survive, why? heart brake implies that the heart is, well, broken, but it is not, the mind is juct confused, saddened. Life is not a Jane Austin book, well not for the likes of me anyway, things rarely go the way i originally hoped, but is that always a bad thing? it is human nature to love, it this that apparently sepparates us from the animal world, however the research from "project Nim" would suggest otherwise. But, as Uncle Ben (Spiderman) once said "with great power comes great responsibility", whilst the ability to love comes a curse to same, it is a power, a gift in disguise. Whilst I cannot speak from experience, I can speak with knowledge from all the books I've read, and they have taught me that love is real, and that when, and only when, you get it right, it is one of the greatest parts of life. my parents met when my mum was Thirteen and three quarters and have been together solidly since she was at university, that's nearly thirty years, and i believe they still love each other. The cynics and critics of love will say that marriage is just like friendship, that perhaps once married people stop loving, that the spark dies, and in some cases that may be the case, but not all....and i think that is the most important and biggest BUT of them all, not all marriages fail, not all people fall out of love with one another. My friends tell me I am an old school romantic, and they are correct, I think its nice when men take there wives and shopping to carry it, when they say you look beautiful, i cry at most films and nothing makes me happier then seeing two 70 year-old's walking hand in hand. whilst I am a traditionalist, i still think its right to go "Dutch" on a date, splitting the bill, some traditions, such as the man having to pay for everything, should die with this new modern age.
