Many youth today speak of Love, so I picked up my pad and my pencil and I began to write…
Walking into the house of love, no windows exist. While one stands at the door, oblivious to what lies on the other side you must ask, “am I ready?” For once involved in a matter as such, escape is not easy. There are no windows in this house that will allow you the opportunity to sneak out. Instead only doors: doors of joy as well as pain, doors of passion as well as confusion. Although it is ultimately your decision to walk into this house, you have absolutely NO control, instead love directs. The minute an individual attempts to steer the very thing that guides them is when you are at the least control. In other terms; if you are in a car that drives it self, you should sit and ride. Knowing that the automated car can handle any and every obstacle that comes its way, there is no need for your assistance. But once you manually attempt to take control of this machine, you will ultimately be left confused…and will not be able to navigate through these rough roads and obstacles that WILL interrupt your once smooth course.
Once you decide to walk into this house called love, let love direct, let love guide. For love does not live within you, instead you live within her. Let her take you through the proper doors, whether it be joy or pain, passion or confusion, Love will not steer you wrong. The only thing that can control love is love itself. Love is not meant for you to control, it is simply meant for you to patiently endure.

IF ANYONE NEEDED TO HEAR THIS I DID!! I DONT KNOW IF YOU RECALL THE CONVERSATIONS YOU, LUTHER, TAI, AND MYSELF HELD WHILE SITTING IN THE LIVING ROOM OF MY APARTMENT (IN MISSION) I STRUGGLED WITH THE ADMITTANCE OF EVER WANTING TO WALK THROUGH THIS DOOR... BUT NOW THAT I FINALLY HAVE YOUR PHILOSOPHY IS A NICE BLUE PRINT TO ADD TO WHAT IVE ALREADY LEARNED ;)....
