Chapter 4: Next Single – GLOW

You know that look someone gives you when they are completely infatuated with you? Their eyes light up and glow and something inside of them, and you, comes alive. Sometimes it’s love, other times its passion, and it can also be both.

Can we agree to disagree that it can mean different things for the parties involved? Is it safe to say that “love” is not as simple as we imagined it to be, after watching all those wonderful Disney movies (some of which I still watch over and over today – HA!).

As humans, we glow for many reasons. We glow for lust and for the unattainable. We glow because we feel loved, or simply because we have someone’s attention. We can glow in unknown places when there is a lack of it in our current love nest, and sometimes despite all the love, we can still glow for someone else. We can also glow for ourselves…

Love triangles have existed for a long time. For the sake of this song, I am referring to an exclusive couple whereby one of the two is involved with someone else, a.k.a. cheating to many. So many stories exist with many different points of views and feelings and this blog is not intended to offend any point of view but rather, respect them.

There are happily coupled people, others not so much. At times, one or both are involved with others. Some outside party relations exist because albeit their unhappiness, they are stigmatized by divorce and afraid of the gossip it will spew should they leave each other. Some are bound for financial reasons. Some are in love with someone else of the same gender, but they have not yet come out to their family and friends, or don’t plan to. Some are simply in other relations for sexual purposes.

The point is, there are many reasons for why love triangles exist. As a society I believe we have work to do when it comes to judging these triangles. I am sure we each know someone with a story. I can tell you that I do, and they are all good people, living in complicated situations.
