Leaving Season

(Keane - Sunshine)

To all the lovers out there. These months are leaving season. The moment of the year where people wonder why they should continue their relationships. It has various reasons, some do it because it is the lowest hormonal drive they'll have the entire year. Others do it because their 2 years are simply up. Others finally have some time to rethink how much they want/like this thing. And some others just don't want it any more for a pot-pourri of minor unimportant reasons.

And in three months from now, there will be new relationships. Many of those trapped by the hormonal high, some by the impulsive actions of the summer and conviction of 'not being a person that just does that without reason' some because they had a wonderful summer with that one person they've known for years and others because they just don't want to be alone. Whatever the reason leaving season always takes care of having a couple forming season. 

And, why? Reading this I can imagine many think that their 'love' isn't so special at all. But is it because of what I write? I don't think so, if this would be the first time you contemplate the thought, you'd be surprised not angry. And that is just the thing. We all know that we do this, but we just really don't want to admit that we really know that it wasn't all so true. Because besides the participants of leaving and coupling seasons. There are also many people who do stick together, for years on end. Couples who did manage to get to know one another for who they actually are, managed to love that person for who they are, and not silence themselves over all the small and little troubles they have with each other, and utter these, and do something about them. People who never had the idea that they had to continue 'for the sake of love'. 

Cos you don't. Love is verb, not a noun. Once you understand that, you do it right. You love someone, and you love yourself. Nothing you do is in sake or in the name of a noun. But in the name of an action that you cannot help but do. Nouns can be made into projects, and are used in comparisons often. Nouns can be used to label things, and nouns can also be used to describe a possession. Verbs don't have this problem. You just do them. 

So everyone good luck in this leaving season.
I hope you all find what you are looking for.
