There’s more to life than love and bein’ together
Is there? Tegan and Sara think there’s more. (been listening to a lot of Tegan and Sara lately)
I think the purpose of life is love. The whole point is to find people to love and be with them and then…die. Everything else is just filler. Yeah you might set off in the world with a greater purpose like finding a cure for HIV and AIDS. Or maybe finding an infinitely renewable energy source. Okay, I guess technically speaking there’s more to life than love and being together.
Am I a hopeless romantic for thinking the purpose of life is to love? Maybe I’m just sad. Have I got it all wrong? How could love be wrong? I mean, there’s definitely a line between sharing your perpetual fountain of boundless love with everyone and just being so desperate for love that you’ll take whatever comes. Really good love though, the kind that shows up unexpectedly when you need it, the kind that is there even if you don’t want it and will be there until you decide you do, the kind that changes your life, is what makes life worth living, what else could it be?
I guess I’ve always been a dreamer, even when I pretend I’m not.
