Love is...

...A Journey
“They say it is better to travel than to arrive. It's not been my experience, at least. The journey of love has been rather a lacerating, if well-worth-it, journey." (D.H. Lawrence, Fantasia of the Unconscious, 1922)

It is with travelling as it is with love - there are so many destinations but there’s also a journey to get you there.

For some the journey is more important than the destination  - some people value the chasing over the settling down, they want the thrill of the airplane lifting off the ground, and what’s at the other end might then turn out to be as boring to them as where they came from.

For others the journey gets in the way of the destination, some people are so afraid of flying they’ll never get the sensation of landing in a different exciting country. If they’ve had a bumpy flight before they might get scared by the thought of getting on an airplane again, and who knows what they’re missing out on.

Yeah, some may only be interested in the travelling, some may be so scared of travelling they’ll never get to the destination - and then again some may be so focused on the destination that the journey fades in the background.

For me personally, the destination makes the hours in trains, planes and busses fly by - I’ve run through airports because I know that what, or who is waiting for me, is worth it.

I know this one is a short one, but I wrote this in English class (our most recent subject is "Love", and we had to write something like this to get us started on the subject) and I actually really liked what I ended up writing, I know it's a bit cheesy, but aren't we all?
