the truth
indi likes to call our friend vraie ‘the truth’. he claims this is what ‘vraie’ means. i must confess, i’ve never actually asked her if he’s right, but i can tell you this. ‘the truth’ is a fairly appropriate thing to call her ; she speaks the stuff often. vraie can be found at barefoot when she’s not working her ass off or living it up with her decadent lifestyle. when you’re trying to spot her, remember this : she’s the one with the hip clothes and the great attitude…and this is what she said.
‘if there’s one truth about being human, it’s that our heart and our head don’t work in sync. love isn’t something you can rationalize. truth is, love shouldn’t be rational. it should make no sense. it should be crazy. intense. insane. but don’t be fooled, it will come to an end. and when it does, we need to remember that there’s another truth in life ; that the world isn’t going to wait for us to pick ourselves up. our lives are about to get very complicated. accept it. and you’ll start living.’
‘vrai’ is truth in french.

Somehow I think you should be rational about everything in life. Including love. It is your rational sense of thinking or reality checks as I call it, that help you pick the pieces up and move on. I agree that love should make you go crazy and do crazy things but you can sense the beginning of a bad trip when you start with saying that it cannot be rational. I understand that when we fall for the first time, yes, we’re irrational and literally insane but as we move on in life and through relationships, we should be more rational about life in general. Love, sex and glory included.
