I find it fascinating to watch animals. From the things they do to win the heart of the other, to the things they do to survive. Most of the things they do are so precise and tedious we could never do them. Isn’t amazing that animals can do these special things to win each other’s hearts? Special sounds, special movements and sometimes they will even do there best to look the most gorgeous. If you look at it this way we almost do all of these things the same.
If you want to impress a girl or boy or both you never know, you will probably move a special way you don’t just walk towards them. Then you want to look amazing you check your hair, you check your clothes and then when everything is the right way you go and impress that boy or girl. Why is this less interesting to look at then? At least I think it is less interesting. I think I don’t find it interesting because it feels awkward. That feeling you get when you see a boy walking towards a girl is…. well just awkward.
With animals, I am only fascinated because they move a special way. Birds move their beaks, some birds show their colors and some animals even fight over a girl until the other male died or fled. That is fascinating to me and that is why I love this image so much.
It shows the movement of their mating dance, the love they give to each other and all those other birds that are still waiting for their mate.
That’s what nature is about right? Finding your significant other. Until that day you will not feel fulfilled, you will not have felt true love. I disagree but it feels this way. Everybody is talking about their significant other and they spend a lot of time with them. It even feels like they can’t be separated for more than a few days. I think that is disturbing, you should live your own life. Not that of others. I understand the whole significant other thing and I will find mine one day. But I don’t believe a significant other should be with you all the time. I want them to have a life next to me a life that she loves I live that she could tell me about when we are together. A life she is passioned about and will do anything for to keep that life.

Love is letting go, and not holding on.
