The Love Story

Recently, I have been watching episodes of The Waltons (1st season) with my mum. I've come to actually like this show, mainly because there always seems to be something happening on The Walton Mountain and there is usually a moral behind each story.

Last night I watched two episodes consecutively, the latter being 'The Love Story'. In which entails a love story between John Boy (the eldest boy of the Walton family) and Jenny. I'd have to admit it was one of the most moving love stories I have ever seen or heard, it was a real tear jerker, for myself anyway. There was one moment in the episode, where John Boy talks to his father about love...

John Boy - "Daddy, have you ever been in love?"
Father - "I still am."
JB - "How did you feel when it first hit you?"
F - "Scared me to death."
JB - "Scared you to death? What way was that?"
F - "The way it still is. The first face that comes to my mind when I wake in the morning. The face I carry with me into sleep every night. A feeling that never stops of needing her, of her needing me."

The reason why I added those italics is because that was the quote in which made me ache the most. I realised that that is the kind of love in which I want to love my future husband and him to love me. That is the kind of love worth waiting for. Even if it means many months or years of staying just as me, being single that is. It was just one of those moments in which I had a deep heart ache, that I wish for a bigger and more real kind of love in my next relationship. I don't wish for another relationship that will end in tears and broken hearts. I've had just about enough of that. Does it seem selfish to think that way?

I know the kind of love you see in tv shows, movies, stories and in the media seem a bit all too fairytale, not always can everything be perfect, sometimes love hurts. But if I were to meet a man who I could share a great kind of love with for the rest of mine and his lives, I think that'd be like a real life fairytale for me, even with the mess love causes sometimes.

And what better way to conclude this love-filled blog than with a music video 'Real Life Fairytale' (by Plumb) set to scenes of my favourite show, Veronica Mars. Enjoy.
