Took me awhile to find out (I found out about Lance Bass quicker which shows you how up to date I am on celebrity news), but Kate Hudson and husband Chris Robinson are now divorced. Was it because of Owen Wilson? Was it because of Owen Wilson's crooked nose? Or was it because she's fallen for someone named Allan? Either way, all these celebrity breakups are a great constant reminder to all us non-celebrity losers out there: true love is harder to find than we imagine it to be.



I found this on my friend Joe's website which I thought was great. Joe was actually quoting his friend, so I'm quoting my friend's friend. I'm sure if I did this in a college essay I'd be kicked out for some weird form of plagiarism, but here goes:

"it amazes me that people are willing to throw away history and simply a relationship just because it doesn't fit their idea of how relationships should go. we talk about love, as if we define it. we talk about love as if we understood what Paul was talking about in corinth. we talk about love as if it's tangible. but bottom line we don't know what love is. we know what love can be in words. but i wouldn't be honest if i said i knew what love will look like. if God is love. and i'm constantly disconnected from God....or love.... then in many ways i'm still finding out what or who love is. love is a funny word."

The word "love" is constantly being thrown around too loosely. Many of us don't even have the right to use it because we've never felt it reciprocated from another person. Other than love from God, I think the only true form of love is parental love. This is why I think being a parent is the greatest joy in the world, although if you ask the parents who are dealing with crying and spitting babies who wake up at 5AM everyday, they might disagree. But when you think about it, parental love is the purest form of human love because it's unconditional. No matter how many times you poop your pants or poop on the leather sofa, your parents will still love you. Yet for everyone else in the world, their love is not unconditional. How many times have we fooled ourselves into being in love, only to find the other person never feeling the same way. Yet we can always go back to our parents, or God. It's ironic that the people who know most about love are the people who we usually never go to for advice: our parents.

That's all I have to say about love.
