Today i want to post about something i have been thinking for a long long long time... have you ever realised or wondered if you are a Cupid or a Romeo?

It is all about a theory i have developed based on my personal experience in personal relationships and in what i have seen in others. Here is the theory:

"Not all of us are borned to be married or find a long life partner. Some people yes, might be lot (or few)... but definitely there are some, those I call them Romeos. Although there might be lot of them, there are also lot (or few) of others who were borned not to get married nor find a long life partner, but to be a connection between others (Romeos), just like cupid".

Check out and think about Cupid, apart from the mythological atmosphere around him, there are some things that are very human... and that many of us have. Cupid is someone who knows love, and knows how to love, he might have felt it for someone at least once, he knows how it feels (you cannot teach about love if you haven't felt it huh?), he likes it when he sees it in others.... but..... he never finds a twin soul for him. There's no place in mythology where it says he got married or he felt in love, so cupid is someone able to love, but with none to love to. His main and only role in life is to connect people, those that will be real romeos/lovers for short or long time, Cupid just get them together.

I think there are lot of Romeos, for instance some i know... Cristina and Carlos, Ivan and Michael (hope that's his name sorry i am not sure) and some others, i also have met few of Cupids but I will put only myself into that list cause i know many people might disagree with my definition.

So... that's it, i feel like a Cupid, have felt in love at least twice in my life, but true is... i have found lovers, but not a long life partner. I have met lot (and really lot) of people i like, and lot of people that likes me, but there is always something wrong on it... many people looking for hook ups, one night stand, open relationships, simple sex and that's it. Plus it is quite funny when you are with a friend (someone you like) and then another friend appears.... and they both end up liking each other...and they start a long time relationship that lasts several years.... it has happened to me at least 2 or 3 times. This theory has taken me about 3 to 5 months to be developed so it is nothing i haven't thought about... i have.

What's this theory useful for? I think that one of the things that leads to depression and loneliness feeling (something many people are feeling right now around the world)... is the lack of real expectations about our lives. Lot of us would like to have a life like in TV soup operas... where everybody ends up happy.... "Never been kissed", "Titanic", "A Knight's Tale" and many others show us how good love can be, which is true... but love won't always happen in everybody's life. We gotta be clear on it. If you know you are borned to be a Cupid, don't expect to be a Romeo.... it won't change and you will end up unhappy.

How do you know you are a Cupid or a Romeo? Life will tell you, and its words are usually so loud that are impossible to ignore.

Ok, lets open the discussion about this, feel free to share your thoughts.
