Is It A Battle or Just a Little Stronger Than Cats and Dogs

I was told today that something else is stronger than love. That a relationship is only as good as that. Now hold the phone. It's is an action so let's assume he meant lust. Lust is an internal craving for that. You can have loveless lust and lustless love. You can also have lustful love and loveful lust.


There are different kinds of love and lust. There is the intense love at first sight. The gradual adornment that turned into love. There is opposite attract love and long distance love. There is needed love and wanted love. The same can be applied to lust.

"No one dies for lust." True. But when is the last time you heard of someone realllllllllly dying for love?

I guess you could say those old couples died because of their love. But maybe they died because they knew no one would satisfy them again.

"Eventually the thrill of lust--fades. That doesn't happen with love." Says who? I've heard all types of stories where a husband and wife broke up because they fell out of love. Maybeeeeeeee they fell into a problem with their lust life. If you think about it, people wayyyyyyy back in the day got to know each other way before they got close to marriage. Let alone that. Now it's a ritual. God forbid anyone holds out for marriage anymore. If you ask my little sister shed tell you no one even waits until senior year in high school and God forbid, they wait until college. Come on Ash! Be realistic. No one does that. No one.. That's the scary part. (And a whole different conversation that needs to be addressed.)

But what if love and lust are just different expressions of the same emotion. Maybe we try to tear them apart to explain them. Maybe they are the lightning and thunder of emotions. A different medium for the same expression. We tear lightning n thunder apart because they seem different. But in reality they are one in the same. Don't you see? You can't have a thunderstorm and miss either. You can't. Yet, friction can cause lightning and anything that falls can make an equivalent sound to thunder. "But it's not thunder" and love is only true when it's accompanied with a lust so powerful you can't hold back.

You can't feel true love without the lightning connection that you lust for and the love to make the impact all the more powerful with a resounding reassurance of forever.

They only need to be stronger and different than one another to be understood. But they are still one in the same, my dear. And you need both to understand the powerful connection the sky and earth can possess. And what true love really can mean to some couples.
