Death to Romance

Life is good. Times are good. I have so many wonderful people in my life, so much going on, so much to be grateful for. Life is so good.
Hah. Despite it all, there is a darkness churning in my heart when it come to romance. It is the perceived idea of romance that I am speaking of and I would like to kill it dead. It's fake, it's a notion, it does not really exist. It disappoints, it saps your energy, and it's lies. All lies!
Real intimacy is just that, intimacy. Not romance, but connection, beauty shared between two souls, vulnerability.
I need to reclassify. My life is already FULL of intimacy. I am grateful to all the people that trust me enough to share their innermost thoughts and feelings and ideas and laugh with me about mine. About our human predicaments and expectations and experiences. We are funny...humans.
Thank you god for creating me as this beautiful and imperfect being that cartwheels and skips through life because that's what life is for.
My dad taught me how to skip. That's what dads are for.
Romance is a figment of our imagination. Romance is a word that keeps us wanting more, that keeps us from appreciating what we already have. Our romance is with god. Intimacy is already happening.

Just look around you and open your heart.
