~ The Subject of Love ~

Hello one and all, to my first blog post! I am your host, the one and only Moon Star, first name: Moon, last name: Star. But you, my dear guests, may just call me Moon… or Mr. Star, that sounds pretty cool too, but I’m getting off subject. Now, don’t expect these blog posts to be too frequent, I’ll probably just post my ramblings like this when I feel strongly enough about a subject or if there’s anything exciting happening around the Lounge.

With introductions out of the way, lets dig into the topic at hand, love. Why love specifically? Well, a few days ago I was hard at work like I usually am, when a thought crossed my mind,

“It would be cool to have a romantic partner, wouldn’t it?”

Initially, I just brushed the thought aside like any other random thing my brain formulated. But that thought just lingered there, and the more I dwelled on it, the more I began thinking,

“Well, it would be pretty cool, huh?”

With just that, I then began to think about all the nice things that can come from being in a relationship. Sharing passions with each other, spending time together out on the town, or even just a comfy night in at home. Of course, as you can imagine, this started filling me with a sense of, well… not necessarily loneliness, but a feeling of emptiness, like there was something missing in my life. A part that I felt I needed to be “whole” and that, was romance…

Ok I guess that also classifies as loneliness, but you know what I mean.

It’s natural to feel this way every now and then, obviously. I mean, every human on the planet has experienced or will experience this emptiness one way or another, whether we like it or not. But for me personally in that moment, it was strange. It’s not like I’ve been actively searching for love up to that point, in fact I hardly ever gave it much thought since high school, and considering where I’m at right now, I’m satisfied with what I have in life so far. Being in a relationship isn’t really something I want, or am even ready for right now. So why was it that in that moment, where I’m simply chillin’ out as per usual, I felt this deep desire to connect with someone romanticallly?

Honestly, I’m still not sure of the answer. Maybe it’s because some of my closest friends have started relationships of their own and it’s made me feel jealous in a way? Or it could also be that there is some part of me that still desires love, that part of me I thought I left back in my early adolescence where schoolhouse crushes came and went like the wind. It’s a tough question, that’s for sure, and it does me no good to just dwell on it.

Admittedly, it’s more likely that I feel this way because so many of the stories I’ve written up in my head feature romance in some form (heck, even some of the residents of the Lounge are in romantic relationships because I made them that way). I guess subconsciously, I’ve always been a hopeless romantic, and that part of me probably reached a boiling point that day, where I began thinking of my friends, my characters, and my stories and realized that love is something I wouldn’t be opposed to finding.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuut, for now, I think I’m good. I’ve got a lot I want to do, and I feel like being in a committed relationship would take me away from those things and I’d be stuck in a moral dilemma with what I want to pursue, love or my passion for art… Unless I get into a relationship with another artist, now that’s the ideal scenario right there!

Moral of the story I guess, is that if I really wanted to meet someone, I would have already tried at this point, and there’s nothing wrong with not trying to pursue love. Just do what makes you happiest, for me, that’s making up stories, drawing characters, and keeping to myself, and if I ever do end up with a significant other, I’ll let y'all know.
