Did I choose to love?

प्रिदेलंद, माय लैंड, टियर-स्तैनेद ड्राई लैंड

I added a Hindi converter to my template. I think it's pretty cool.

I spent some time talking with my old theory teacher yesterday. She emailed me to see how and what I was doing, and we spent an hour just talking about my life and the good and bad things that are going on right now. It ended with "Here's an encouraging hug. (HUG!)" Immediately after, I left for Pizza Delight, where I spent the evening hearing about my grasshopper's victories and trials.

I've learned, as I'm sure you all have, that people are selfish beings. It's always been a regretful conclusion on my part. What if, however, what I've always deemed selfish behaviour is nothing but a need for attention or a cry to be loved? After an hour of doing nothing but work through my problems with my friend, I was finished with self-pity, and I was ready to go help someone else with hers. Maybe it sounds self-centred. But, to me, it was liberating.

And so, I newly conclude that we're all a little starved for love on the inside. An hour of pure, uninterrupted attention once in a while might be all we ever wanted. Another testament to how much we really need eachother.
