We’re all tempted by those naughty little demons. They tell us to do all the wild things in life, the things you can’t justify but you want them so, so badly. They want us to steal, tempt us to kill, and even worse, worse than those and anything else, they tempt us to fall in love. Those of us who have never been in love don’t understand, they think, how is love worse than stealing or murdering? Some of us are born lucky; we never have to find out the answer. It’s simple though, love makes us do crazy things, it fills us with feelings we never thought imaginable, it doesn’t just tempt us to steal and murder, it encourages us to, whispers in our ear, “anything, anything for the one you love,” and we do, because we don’t know what else to do.
But it gets worse.
Even worse than that, what if we fall in love with someone, and the love is forbidden? What if we’re in love with someone who doesn't love you back, who can’t love you back? Who you would do absolutely anything for, but can’t because, what, society tells you it’s not okay? Okay so you love someone who is the same sex as you, big deal. Okay so you love someone who is eight years older than you, big deal.
Society sucks.
