[General] A Love Song

I used to romanticize romance.

I also use to consistently write -ise instead.  Things change.

Here is an AMV of the song Melodies of Life from Final Fantasy IX.  Spoiler warning: contains spoilers if you watch the video; you could just listen, I guess.

This song was very important to me growing up.  It captured a lot of my feelings on the concept of love before I ever really loved anyone by choice.  Things change.

This past decade, I now wonder at so much cultural media and social understanding of Love.  For me, I don't think this song would be healthy to indulge in.  I think a lot of things now.

It's slightly terrifying, these machinations of emotion we've built monuments to.
