I thought once that I saw you, I thought that you saw me

This song always make me feel sad, yet I keep putting it on repeat.  I guess I'm a sucker for tragic love, though I hate the drama in my own life.  There are no hard rules to love, it's a trial by fire process.  The only thing closest to a rule that I can see, is that you must let go: of hate, of fear, of doubt, of pride.  All the things we use to protect ourselves have to be put aside if we are ever to obtain what we so desperately want.  Old wounds run deep even though the skin is smooth.  I'm always guilty of forgetting, but not forgiving.  Of keeping pride as a blanket.  Of thinking keeping others happy will make me happy.  In a recent conversation, I brought up the theory of karma.  I believed in it, my companion did not.  The question begs to ask, if there is no karma, what other system can you believe in?  I think I need to believe that things are happening for a purpose, that there is some cause and effect, otherwise what purpose is there to us being cruel to each other?

Don't worry, life is good.  I just tend to think about these kinds of things too much.

Ah I think I'm the complete opposite, I forgive but I never forget and I never let the other person forget either!

I really enjoyed this post.
You write so beautifully.

I believe in karma to a certain extent & then I just have to think that maybe some people are just really damaged inside, and that's why they're so cruel. That for some people, their driving force for being so ugly is that they have issues that they just don't know how to deal with. If that makes sense.
But anyways, nice post :)

I don't know that song, but it is a sad lyric. A good one, but sad.

I believe in karma and I think about those kinds of things too much too--I'm often baffled by how oblivious and/or unconcerned people can be about the pain they cause others. I see it I my own family--how could we have grown up in the same house, in the same room, and be so different???

Dana has a point and I feel for people who have had experiences that have left them damaged. But my sympathy ends at the moment the person takes their pain out on others. I'm still a work in progress, nowhere near complete.

I totally believe in karma (or maybe I always believe in hope).

i totally agree as well - let go. Life is too short.

I think i forgive easily but i don't forget which is not a good thing. We all need to constantly work on ourselves on being our best self, and it's good to think about these things every once in a while. It's not being dramatic or sad, but inward reflection has a lot to offer.

love your vintage jacket btw.

Karma is out there, that's for sure - I think of all the good karma that's out there, and as for the bad karma, I firmly believe that what goes around, comes around.

We're just not always there to witness when it comes around. And maybe we're not meant to see it when that happens - we just gotta believe that it does.
