Leo in Love

Oh, love is real enough; you will find it someday, but it has one archenemy -- and that is life.
-Jean Anouilh Ardele

i am a big fan of love, whether it's artificial, superficial, or real mad passionate love. the problem is, i am also a big fan of life. a worry-free, hell-to-the-world, i-am-god life. why must love and life clash, when i've always believed that love is the very reason i am here in this world? i am inspired to wake up each morning and face what life serves me when i am in love, but the dynamics of life can leave me dumbfounded. just when love has adorned my life, fate selfishly takes it away from me.

In a great romance, each person plays a part the other really likes.
-Elizabeth Ashley American Actress

i love playing the role of a woman in love. i am high, i am free, i am myself, only 100 times better. and if the one i love feels the same, then we can star in our own movie, one that never ends and has a thousand climaxes.

Love is a great beautifier.
-Louisa May Alcott 1832-1888, American Author

i am alive when i am in love. i fall, bleed, cry, but i stil end up beautiful. i guess it's not only the feeling that makes me fabulous, but the things i learn from feeling it. and i am willing to learn from the right person.

Women wish to be loved not because they are pretty, or good, or well bred, or graceful, or intelligent, but because they are themselves.
-Henri Frederic Amiel 1821-1881, Swiss Philosopher, Poet, Critic

i am done with pretending. to others i can be zeena, the bonehead, the comic relief, the escapist, the unfeeling shithead, the subordinate who bows down every time, or even the warrior princess. but to the one i love i am zeena, a girl who has so much love to give, no matter how weird i show it.

Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell.
-Joan Crawford 1904-1977, American Actress

i am a leo. leo is a fire sign. fire is passion, bravely blazing across everyone's lives i touch. fire is warmth, something i can give to the one i love if given the opportunity.
but fire is also my downfall. i can burn someone if i give to much, and i can also get burned if i don't stop playing with fire.
