About Me

Do you know someone that can laugh at the little things? What about someone that has answers or gives facts to even the stupidest questions? Well, you have just met one. I have certainly endured life's ups and downs but know that a path has been set for me and I am but a sheep along that path.

Love OR Lust

Love

Lust

When it comes to a man (or for others a woman) which of these words should you choose when there is affection towards another? I often wonder what my feelings are towards the one that I "lust" for. Is it in the noun sense of this word (ie. animalism, carnality, desire, excitement, hunger, sensuality, urge, weakness)? Or does my feelings tide more towards the verb (ie. ache, crave, hunger for, need, pine, thirst, want, wish, yearn)?

There is one that I have these feelings for, one that is unaware of what I feel. What is it that discourages me to carry this word to the next level?

Love

I am beginning to think that my feelings fear what are purely feelings of "love". Maybe it is these that are holding me back?

Affection, appreciation, devotion, emotion, enjoyment, fervor, fondness, infatuation, passion, yearning, zeal.

Why can I not express, cherish, deify, exalt, fancy, glorify, hold dear, idolize, prize, treasure, worship?

I can only be honest with myself. To others my honesty is that I lust for someone who I want to love. Someone who does not know my feelings as I am afraid to express. I truly have a fear to let him know.

What do you think?
