What does it mean to love someone? How are you supposed to feel?

[ Hi, everyone. Have an awkward, developmentally-stunted dude who asks weird questions with no preamble. It's a heavy topic most people would probably prefer to discuss with close friends and family, not someone they've never met, but Roman doesn't think like that. It doesn't occur to him that some topics may not be appropriate to post on a network like this with relative strangers.

It doesn't occur to him that some people probably can't relate, or wouldn't care about this kind of inner turmoil. There are plenty of other things to worry about here, too, but these thoughts take precedence to him. Surviving in a strange new world is, to him, almost preferable to the struggles within, those of the heart and soul. ]

Some people don't deserve it, do they?

If they're terrible, why do they deserve love? Shouldn't they just go away alone somewhere? Somewhere they can't hurt anyone else?

I don't think it's as simple as that. People can change. Sometimes love helps them to be better than they ever thought they could be.

[ A nice sentiment he's just not sure he can believe. ]

You've seen love help someone be better?

[otrazhenie]

I have. My boyfriend, Damon, used to be... pretty terrible at times. A lot of the time. He did horrible things and made bad decisions because people expected him to be that kind of person. But he was so different later, because he had a reason to be.

[twofates]

Maybe I just need a reason.

Maybe you already have one if you're even asking these questions.
