Have you ever watched anything on the Disney Channel? My youngest sister is kind of addicted to this channel. Well, half-addicted (the other half of it being to Nickelodeon). In fact, I'm also beginning to like some of their shows, especially the sitcoms up late night, because of what you can learn about life. Try watching According to Jim and get something about marriage. Or watch my favorite, Damon Wayans' My Wife and Kids. You'll instantly know how it is to become a father/family man after watching it.

I'm not a Disney employee and I'm not plugging these shows, if that's what you think. I just wanted to share some thoughts I got from My Wife and Kids. In this one particular episode, Damon's kid fell in love with his tutor, who was of course older than him. He ended up in sobs and Damon consoling him, talking about how it is growing up to be a man. He said that a man always falls in love with someone he can never have, and until he gets over this can he only be called a man.

First of all, what does it mean to be in love? I'm asking this because I really don't know the right answer. I thought I was in love a couple of times, but I felt otherwise after some length of time alone and a few moments of deep thought. Maybe my good friend was really right about something. When the right person comes, you just know it. It may take years and years to find the right one, but you'll know it when he/she comes.

So what do you do about the person you've been wanting to be with for the rest of your life? Or the one you think you can't live without? Or the one you've been secretly wanting or loving and when you're on the verge of telling him/her what you feel, it turns out that he/she's in love with somebody else? *whew*

Simple. Just let him/her be. It's natural to feel what you feel for some person, as that person also feels something for another (good if it were you...). That's life and we are humans, and humans feel to be humans, even if they're feelings of hurt. Feel hurt for years until you find the right one? Well, if that's what you prefer, but there are certainly better things to do in life than look for someone. Again, as my friend says, it will come to you even if you don't look for it, and you'll know it when it happens.

Keep yourself busy. Watch a movie shown in Disney. Sing. Cook. Eat what you've just cooked. Play football. Play football while eating what you've just cooked. Just enjoy life.
