Where Once Love Simmered . . .

I know my thyroid is working again . . . I only sleep 3 - 4 hours per night. I usually never have trouble falling asleep, it's staying asleep that's challenging. Hence so many "wee small hour" references.

"Where once love simmered, hatred now boils."

That thought came to me as I was waking at 2:54 this morning. Why is it so easy to suddenly, sometimes, turn "love" off, like with a switch? How does "hate" so easily replace it?

I truly don't believe hate is the opposite of love. I think, instead, it's the byproduct. Or remains.

There are times we should listen to our hearts and times we should, instead, listen to our head. It's too easy to let emotions rule us when we are already in a vulnerable spot, like 'love'.

Love strips away many barriers, but when unrequited or hurting, it can easily build them. And pretty damn fast, too. If only forgiveness came as easily, and people could set their own issues aside and try to see the other person's point of view, perhaps it would make love last longer.

I could be wrong about a lot of this, but I know I am unforgiven.
