Love Is A Battlefield
I am lucky enough to be 'in the early stages' with someone who shares the view of LIAC. Unlike many others I have been involved with, he is by no means 'fucked up', but like myself, has been fucked by love. Recently we had a conversation that sent a chill down my spine, because it could have been me talking.
"For a long time, I didn't want to get involved with anyone, because I didn't want to take the risk."
Other similar comments emerged, and being a hopeless cynic, I instantly began to panic. Fuck, he must know one of my friends, this is all a big game, he's playing me, he's well versed, he's screwing with my mind. Following some analysis, I realised all these options were impossible.
The bonus of being on an even keel as far as LIAC tendencies are concerned is that we could both run scared at any minute; I'm not prone to being either overly clingy or overly cool, because I know how I'd react to that - the only option is absolute honesty. It's a bind of trust, and rather than feeling like you're treading on eggshells or alternatively about to get fucked over, you just have to accept what's what and deal with it.
It's like the whole "pick on someone your own size" theory. Don't go for anyone too sane; they'll inevitably either bore you, or you'll fuck yourself over trying to equal their level of calm. Likewise, don't go for anyone with too many issues; they'll fuck themselves over and probably you at the same time.
Play fair.
Aight?!

love is a battlefield, an 80's favorite sang by the very talented pat benatar.
"We are young, heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield
We are strong, no one can tell us we’re wrong
Searchin’ our hearts for so long, both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield"
such wise words
Pat Benetar has written some great songs. Check out http://www.lyricsondemand.com/p/patbenetarlyrics/
Symmetry is good, but opposites attract. Love always finds a way (to cunt you (in the face)).
Yep, I'm waiting to be cunted. But hell, I've gotta fall in love first. LOL.
