we all want to believe in something.

We all want to believe in love,
We all want to believe in something
Bigger than just us.
We all want to be a part
Of the greater picture
That's hanging in our hearts, our hearts,
Yeah, it's bigger than us.

Watching countless J-dramas has really made me think about different concepts of love and destiny, and whether either of them actually exist in reality.

A consistent theme and concept of love in these J-dramas is 守ってあげる. They put more emphasis on protecting one another rather than attraction or passion. The feelings they portray are more honest and pure than typical Western romance stories. Maybe this is where most Americans are missing the point of being with someone.

I sometimes wonder if there is more than one person made for someone. I mean, sure, you could be perfectly happy and content with a lot of people, but maybe there's more than one person FOR you. In my case, it's zero people so far, but I'm just talking in general here.

I hate how superficial and fake and physical "love" has become. You'll rarely see kissing, much less even hugging, in J-dramas. And if there is a kiss, it's only one, and it's not some big make-out session. It's sweet and it makes you feel comfortable watching it, not full of desire.

Maybe us Americans are missing something, but I don't think love is what we think it is.
Protection. Comfort. Purity.

Sounds nice.
