Where Art Thou, Love?

Ah, true love. Such a fantastic occurrence. Many people spend their entire lives searching for "the right one" and that head-over-heels feeling. While some do find it, many often do not. It is tragic when this happens because everyone deserves to be with their soul mate. When I was a kid, Aladdin was my favorite movie. I watched it numerous times each day. It'd be an understatement to say that I loved the film. I was OBSESSED. And not with just the storyline and the prospect of a commoner becoming a prince and winning the princess.  The love story as well; it was the most important and exciting part! The relationship Aladdin and Jasmine shared was bewitching. I remember imagining myself on that carpet, singing to a beautiful woman. I remember wanting the chase, the passion, the devotion.

15 years later, I am still the romantic I was when I was a child. The thrill of that magic carpet ride still has me enthralled; however, it also has me weary. Love has done both wondrous and destructive things for people, and it's as if it's a coin. As of now, the only side of that bittersweet coin I've experienced is the destructive one. I know the risk that falling in love presents; however, I love being in it's iron grip. It has me singing, and dancing, and dreaming.  One day we will all hopefully find our mates.  As for now though, keep living life!

Love is a common motif in most films; however, I have always thought the Disney movies have been the most romantic.  Which was your favorite Disney movie/ and or couple?

John & Heather

There was Romeo & Juliet, Tristian & Isolde, Kate & Leopold, Noah & Allison, and then John & Heather. Love is an aspect of life that should be experienced by every living being.  You know, that type of love that makes you weak in the knees.  That love that makes you unattractive because it's made you sob uncontrollably for hours and excrete snot like a dog does slobber.  That love that also makes you overcome any obstacle that is laid before you.  And lastly, that love that will allow you to think back on your life when you're old, gray, and wrinkly and remember how lucky you were to find that one.  That one that loved you for you, and that one that ordered you Chinese take-out at least two times a week.  Who wouldn't want someone like that?!
