Kiss From A Rose

Anyone ever hear that song? It's one of my absolute favorites. There's a man who is symbolized by a grey tower. He's lost. Has no light. Lonely.
Tell me you have never felt like that. Lonely and with nothing there to brighten your days. Sometimes when you feel like that, someone comes by in your life and becomes that light. You see them, and everything gets better. You can relax, you can smile, you can laugh.

"I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey."

A rose is a symbol of true love. It's a symbol for a lot of other things, but love is what I choose to refer to at this point in time. A kiss from true love is a beautiful thing.
I think it's a natural thing for us to hope for certain things. The perfect family, the perfect friends, the perfect girlfriend/boyfriend. We're almost taught to believe fairy tales happen all of the time. Look at Disney.
Most of the time, we won't get any of those things we hope and dream for.
Depressing, yes. But it's true. It's sad.
Another thing that has stood out to me recently though, is the fact that our standards for perfect are far from realistic. We expect too much of the ones we love, and in so doing, we place them on a pedestal. the cool thing about pedestals is the fact that they are easy to fall off of.
What I'm saying is that we should rethink what is really going on in our lives. And rethink our standards for the ones we love. I'm not saying to settle for what you have and never try to improve your life, but be content with what you have been given.
Thanks.

By the way, Seal- Kiss From A Rose. Yes, it was in a Batman movie.
