Love Wanted : Dead or Alive

Often it seems as if we are not in control of our own emotions and feelings. Like there's some cosmic force of the universe that guides our thoughts and emotions. How else can we explain that "I miss you" text you sent to your ex after you promised yourself not to or the flutter you feel in your stomach you feel when you see the object of your every desire, knowing fully well they will never leave their partner to ever be with you or how you're falling out of love wit someone you used to not be able to imagine your life without.

As comforting as it is to fantasize that such is the case the truth is we are in control, every thought, every fantasy, every action, we control it all. Conciously or otherwise we shape our destinies even when it may seem our thoughts and actions are beyond us.

We like to think of ourselves as independent from these emotions, strong minded and strong willed, surely we as human beings, a more advanced species, would never fall prey to such carnal and animalistic desires right? Wrong. For it is these same emotions, Passion and Desire that make us human, and who are we to deprive ourselves of our humanity.

What if we could harness this humanity? Understand it, shape it, wield it to fit our wants and needs. Don't get confused this is not some relationship self help book just the stories of a 17 year old kid trying to understand his mortality.
