Cross The Streams

Francois de La Rochefaucauld once said, ~True love is like a ghost, everyone talks of it, few have seen it.~ As said before, true love is like a ghost and its undeniable presence can in all intents and purposes haunt a person's heart, especially if their living the single life. For a certain number of people know all too well the feeling of being, in a sense, haunted by matters of the heart either emotionally and/or mentally to the point where it can be viewed as a pesky poltergeist or a harmless apparition. For it can most definitely be a tough and oftentimes annoying situation indeed to experience a type of paranormal activity going on within your heart to where it causes you to become a ghostbuster of sorts in order to investigate and/or capture it.

Without a doubt, when you're a so-called ghostbuster one of the main things you need in regards to equipment is a portable particle accelerator proton pack with a hand-held wand/particle thrower to capture a ghost. However, unlike the fictional proton pack/thrower that essentially drains the psychokinetic energy from a ghost, the proton pack known as the human heart is capable of giving energy/strength that is able to last more than just 5,000 years. For those who are living the single life, they would certainly want to find/meet someone who is capable of strengthening rather than draining all the love, honesty, faith, hope, contentment, happiness, caring, compassion, etc. within the energy cell of their heart.

If you think about it, when it comes to the ghost that is true love you know it does exist based on personal accounts of witnesses who have/are encountering it but in the course of one's own investigation it's difficult to know where it actually is. You see, for those who are still investigating like myself we're equipped with our own proverbial PKE meter that helps us locate where it may possibly be. Essentially, the PKE meter we all have in our possession is again our own heart and though it has the capability to detect where the possibility of true love is it's not always accurate. I think it would be safe to say there’s a number of people who have tracked, in a manner of speaking, a relatively strong signal to a potentially worthwhile relationship but unfortunately it ended up being a weak signal.

Let me ask you this question to those who have watched the movie Ghostbusters, how many of you are familiar with the scene where Dr. Peter Venkman played by Bill Murray gets slimed by Slimer? Thinking about it, when you come face to face, in a manner of speaking, with the ghost that is true love you find yourself not only unable to move or think for that matter, but it also causes you to become afraid. Why? What it primarily comes down is the fear of being slimed or in this particular case becoming vulnerable as you open yourself up and the closer you get to true love the possibility of getting emotionally hurt leaves you with two options which is either to stand your ground facing it head on or back up/turn around in order to run as fast as you can.

In retrospect, we're all in some aspect the quintessential gatekeeper hoping to meet our very own keymaster or vice versa. In other words, each of us shouldn't be aimlessly wandering around constantly focusing on/looking for true love but instead just live our lives doing our own thing. However, when we need that much needed support when you're reminded of how lonely you are you know who you're gonna call which are your best buds/gal pals. If you just happen to meet that certain special someone who is truly genuine instead of someone who has Gozer-like qualities then it's kudos to you. In the end, I say to those of you who have found your ghost busting partner for life I hope the two of you together continue to cross the streams.
