MHGO #53 Caught in a Bad Romance

How cupid would usually join/force others to fall in love with each other, I have been sent to do what I do best: blog about (ahem) Valentines Day.

To be honest, this day has never really meant that much to me. It probably might have only got to me today, when I had to help about 400 needy couples. The post text of seeing such behavior is what will be presented.

As I have said or expressed several times, I believe we find solace and answers in the places we last look, and the friends we have neglected. I have spent the last 2 weeks trying to re-connect and affirm my relationship with people whom I have neglected for far too long. (Mot is the gay fad)

I listened to Alice in Chains "Heaven Beside You" for the 78th or so time in my life yesterday. When I was able to have everything else in my head shut up for 5 minutes, I was able to hear the lyrics that were being sung. The amazing lyrics that came out of the lead's mouth were some of the most heartfelt and experienced I have heard. An excerpt:

Like the coldest winter chill, Heaven beside you....Hell within".


I heard these lyrics today like they were fresh and new. I realized I had accepted the problems and challenges of my past and that I was moving through them to a new and better life. I believe that we all in some way live our life this way...Heaven is right beside us, so easy to get. If that is the case...why do we choose the Hell?
