Ain't no sunshine... Or is There?


But ain't no sunshine when she's gone, only darkness everyday.

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,

And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away.

Can we actually produce a similar feeling to that of the sun shining down on you, warming you up? Can darkness be felt in our absence? Or this is just a sappy song written for sappy romantics?

In the movie Juno, when she sees the soon to be parents of her soon to be born baby get into a fight and decide to divorce... she starts to question relationships. Is there hope for a long lasting relationship? True love that never dies? Her dad advises her that there ain't no guarantees in life... but that she should find someone who loves her for who she is: the good, bad & the ugly... it would be best to be with someone who thinks that the sun shines out of your ass no matter what. Does the sun shine out our ass?

Apparently, it does. But only for a special few who see it. Recently, I've been doing some digging. I've been digging deep trying to find what love is for me. Why I feel comfortable with some guys and not with others. Is what I think I want out of a guy also parallel to what I need? Then I stumbled across a very unique thought that I had never had before: I need to be with a guy who has the sun shining out of his ass, no matter what he does. For some illogical reason, I put some guys on a pedestal and think they are as special as any one person can be. This I have come to realize is one ingredient of a loving relationship. After discussing with Jelly, I learned she thinks her fiance is definitely the sunshine in her life and she is for him. So, I suppose we can create sunshine. We can lighten up the world for other people... but I guess you could say some people just have too much SPF on to feel your sunlight. It's about finding the right one for you.
