My Day - Episode Ten

This is starting out as a My Day but will end up as a rambling. Today and yesterday the boyfriend has been away with man-flu, actually I don't know for sure, he could be half-cut in a field and I wouldn't know - mental note to wring him after blog post is done.

Philosophy today really got me thinking. First of all we decided to allocate animals to different people. Teacher got owl because he's so wise and very watchful and analytic and he looks a bit like one, a thin one.
The inside-out-sock-wearer got a frog because he never speaks, he just sits there looking sleepy and bored.
The girl-who-covers-her-mouth-when-she-laughs got a cheshire cat because she tends to smile alot with this knowing look. Those are the few that were most interesting, I got a meerkat because apparently I always look very alert and alive, popping my head up a lot. I think that's pretty suitable.

Then we ended up talking about friendships and relationships, how people deal with arguments. Wise Owl said that when he and his wife argue he busies himself so he won't have to confront them. I ended up talking about when me and my babe fell out and didn't speak for eight months. Was a little weird thinking back on it. We just gave up on hating each other in the end.

And then we spoke about love. Wise Owl came up with this theory that partners should bring out the best in other people but not be selfish with one another. If a couple only like to be together alone then it's probably not a good relationship. If someone loves someone they would want to share their loveliness with everyone and be happy to be apart because love doesn't depend on distance.

Real love is when you can experience lots of wonderful eye-opening new things and travel the world alone and you will still go home to that one person because you want to and be very very happy that it is them there and no-one else. I totally agree. I may be a cheater and unfaithful but I always chose Boyfriend over them, isn't that a stronger love than just never checking to see the grass is greener and still returning?
