I'll warn you now, this is pretty sappy stuff, so if you're not a romantic at heart, or just ate something, you may want to skip this post.
Earlier this afternoon, I was killing time on XTube...you know, doing research...
Well, anyway, I came across something that was totally refreshing, completely unpornographic and really great (though you may want to turn off the sound...)
There really is no back story involved here; the only information is that the poster is a 21-year-old guy from the US.
Usually I would feel that pang of jealousy and sadness at what someone has and I do not, but today it really struck me as something hopeful. I mean, here are two guys my age, clearly in love and really happy.
This pretty much sums up my heavily-romanticized hope and aspiration; finding someone I think is adorable inside and out, falling for them, and finding out they feel the same way too. Realizing that your attraction is the real, true deal, and being able to just be your goofy natural self with the person you love. It's almost palatable how these two click with each other, how well each compliments the other.
Actually, watching this makes me feel pretty old...these guys are the same age I am, yet I wonder if I'll ever get to have this youthful, blissful love.
And it scares me, because it hasn't happened yet, and deep down I wonder if it ever will before it's too late.
Sure, there is no depth to this; it doesn't tell the story of where they came from and who they are. There isn't the behind-the-scenes of how fucked up or brilliant their lives are, where they met, and how things 'really' are. But it does show to me that two young people are capable of finding each other, falling madly in love and staying that way.
And that's something that, at any age and in any place in life, should give us all hope.

Awww... Cute. Especially the 'I love you' at the end.
Steve,
Don't worry that love is passing your by......that you won't have it in your youth. It's all relative. I found my love when I was 59 and it's been wonderful every since. I feel a new man.
It was a lovely posting the sentiment on the video was very nice. You'll only find someone though if you put your heart out there to be found.

It's a deeply frightening thought that honestly plagues me as well, and I won’t even hit twenty for another month.
Unfortunately because so much of it is left up to chance you feel really rather helpless. Hope however isn’t a bad idea ;)
