Everybody wants to be loved

Okay… this is always how it seems to go… I am completely exhausted and tired, long day ahead of me… and this thought pops in my head. … Well, it’s been a while since I actually posted anything on here… so figured it was time for an update.

So there’s this song on the movie, “What A Girl Wants” , and the song is by Oliver James “Long time coming”.
the lyrics start out:

Everybody wants to be loved
every once in a while.
we all need someone to hold on to,
just like a helpless child.
can you whisper in my ear?
let me know it’s alright?
It’s been a long time coming down this road,
and now I know what I’ve been searchin’ for.
Been a long, long, highway and now I see…

For some reason that really just stuck in my head so much to the effect that I cannot fall asleep until i write this!!

Because it’s true. Everybody does want to be loved… if someone doesn’t feel loved they are going to get depressed… and we do need someone there to hold us sometimes. All you really need is someone to be there for you, and all too often I take that for granted.

Well, the above was typed up last night, and i fell asleep after i typed the last word, so i never got to finish my thought… Not sure how much more together this part will sound, because i’m also completely exhausted tonight too… but another song is stuck in my head tonight. “10,000 miles” from the movie Fly Away Home…. The song plays at the beginning of the movie when this girl and her mother are driving in the rain, and a car hits them and the mother dies and the daughter is in the hospital and she goes to live with her dad from then on and is all depressed because its a new place (her parents were divorced, and her dad is about to get remarried)… anyway so the lyrics start out:

Fare thee well, my own true love.
Farewell for a while,
I’m going away….
But I’ll be back,
Though I’ll go 10,000 miles…

10,000 miles
My own true love
10,000 miles or more
The rocks may melt
And the seas may burn
If I should not return

Oh don’t you see
That lonesome dove
Sitting on an ivy tree
She’s weeping for
Her own true love
As I shall weep for mine

Oh come ye back
My own true love
And stay a while with me
If I had a friend
All on this earth
You’ve been a friend to me

For some reason this song is stuck in my head today… probably because I had a long discussion with someone about relationships… and this relates to the previous song, about needing to be loved…
Sometimes all you need is someone to be there for you. It doesn’t have to be in a romantic setting, or in a “dating” relationship… sometimes you just need to feel like someone cares.
It doens’t matter what happened in the past, what matters is what’s going to happen in the future…. Pulling out a lion king quote, “it doesn’t matter, it is in de past!”
Which, I only partially agree with that… and…. i just got distracted from typing by facebook… and forgot where i was going with that.
Sure, the past is important… it shapes who you are. it defines your motivations and values and dreams… but when things go wrong, it doesn’t benefit anyone to dwell on it. Accept it. Learn from it. Move on.

We all need companionship. We aren’t meant to be alone. So take a break. stop thinking so much. Go give someone a random hug, because you never know what they’re going through… And sometimes all it takes is one person to change your outlook on life…..
Just stop being so wrapped up in your own problems that you can’t be there for people who need you.

that is all :)
P.S. that was not aimed at any specific person, just in general.
I’m going to bed now.

    This is very true, we all need somebody sometimes, or things will eat away at us. Just today I was having a normal conversation with somebody at work, when she starts talking about events that will not be discussed here, and I realized that it is amazing what people are going through sometimes, so we need to lend an ear or give a hug where needed,

    Also, sorry for not keeping in contact. I don’t really have an excuse for it either, which makes me feel bad.

    I’m really sorry I wasn’t always there for you. I really regret it now looking back on it. There are times you needed to be held, and I was too busy, or working. Then times where I needed a friend to lend an ear, and couldn’t find it in you because you were busy or working, so I moved on to look for it. I started this by ignoring you, you ignored me back, which is fine, I went elsewhere for someone. This bothered you more than you ever expressed to me, We finally came back together to find our perfect middle ground, but then you found someone else with more time to hold you.

    I dont blame you for wanting a more solid rock to stand on. But know that deep down I will always love you Anet. Maybe theres a place for us one day. Everyone wants to be loved. I just wanted you all along and lost you to someone with more to spend on you.
