Real LOVE, I'm Searching for a REAL LOVE

Most reality shows dictate to us that real love is for the love of Ray J and we should openly compete for worlds sexiest bachelor. Don't misunderstand me, I'm a fan of Mr. Sexy Can I. But if I had one wish, we wouldn't treat love like that.

Now I'm no expert on love, no love guru either. But I know how it feels to love, be loved and be hurt by love. And if you've ever loved, you can tell the real from the fake.

I'm with Musiq, so many people use the word love in vain. And those who once had faith in love, turned their backs on it. Love is not pain, that's the utterance from some too cool rapper who maybe could've used  a few more hugs during his childhood. Love can hurt, it definitely has the potential to cause some serious damage; damage that can't be covered by All State.

But it shouldn't be twisted, love is wonderful, powerful...but only when it's for real. Even the toughest brother out here and the woman fed up can be a sucka for love; and it's nothing wrong with that. But again, it has to be real. Based on true values and not a mental checklist you've gone by since high school.

But mostly (and I say mostly because I can't say all the time) love we seen Flavor Flav search for and love we see on Maury once we discover that he is or is not the father, that's tainted love. Love that is misconstrued and caught in the entanglements of fake emotion and lack of self-love.

When exactly did love become a game? I mean, playing with hearts is seriously a jacked up game with a rigged scoreboard. Picking a lifelong partner on tv for high ratings and temporary fame; that's what's up now?

The days of uplifting your significant other oftentimes hides behind walls of domestic abuse and and Lifestyle wrappers. Some of us are only emulating what we see others doing and before we know it, we living a lie. A fairy tale with depictions of people that only make sense in our damn  heads. Come on now, Derwin and Melanie...that's tv, great show, but tv nonetheless.

Let's learn the values of love, it is not a shopping spree with daddy's credit card, not NBA 2k11. It's true emotion when two people are at a vulnerable state. They're  bare, hearts naked. Wide open; and they want to be.

Handle real love with caution, because hearts are fragile. Just like yours.

Love,
Vee
