ipod detox

A while ago a dear friend told me love is fake... my initial response was to laugh, and wonder what love did to her to make her so bitter towards it. but lo and behold, a few months later, i find myself at the same conclusion. love portrayed these days isnt real, long-lasting or what it should be. my definition of love changes as i mature, as i understand the meaning behind the words "i love you" which are all too easily thrown about, and finally as i comprehend who and how that love is being expressed to me.

i could go through many definitions of what love is and isnt, but right now Im tired of love...

i dont want to hear about it - on the radio/ the soundtrack of an advert that has nothing to do with love/ in slowjams that generally make me think certain things i have no business thinking / as im sitting on the tube on the way to work. im not interested in anyone elses love life and i dont really want to hear any stories to scare me about falling in love/ the pain of love/ the mushy joys of love....
i dont want to see it - on tv/ in the newspaper / in magazines/ on posters/ in a movie/ by those two on the street that cant keep the tongues in their own mouths...
i dont want to be asked about it - im not planning on marrying anyone in the near future, im not looking for love, and no im not upset that im not in love right now. Im back with my first love, Jesus, what more do i need.

i dont want to know anything about it ... im not upset or heartbroken, im just tired of love.

i meant to do this a few weeks ago, but am only just getting round to it... im detoxing my ipod, and being selective of what i watch, read and listen to for a while for my own sanity... So with that said, my last love song was going to be Chrisette Michele's "Love is you" - coz im definately a fan of her sound... but praise God for gospel alternatives with great lyrics... so without further ado here is S.O - Love is:



the greatest image of love is the Cross - John 3:16
