Sex before marriage?

I was having an argument with a friend about sex and what is the appropriate age to have it at.
This friend, who was telling me that sex should be had before marriage, was saying how we'd be so crap at it when we grow up and get married, if that's the only time we plan on doing it.
Then he went on to say, all of a sudden, that sex is a wonderful thing, and how that two people who really, really love each other don't care what each other looks like. They care for only one thing, and that is their love.

So then I asked myself, so if sex is truly such a wonderful display of love to each other, why must we be good at it?
If two people genuinely love each other, with real love, not passionate lusty movie-like love, then they wouldn't be bothered if both of them were complete bollocks at sex. They wouldn't care one bit.

It's a mystery, that's what sex is.

I laugh. I smile. I happy.

I'm a laugher. I'll admit it.
But in times of no laughter being allowed for certain cruel and inevitable reasons, a smile suffices. 

Here's a quote I found while hunting around:

"Even if there is nothing to laugh about, laugh on credit."

Now THAT quote, that really describes me. Laugh on credit. Laugh at anything.

So why do I love to laugh so much? Confession: I love attention, most of the time. But that's not my main reason for laughing; in fact it's not a reason at all. 
It's the twinkle that I see in people's eyes as they watch me roll around in peals of laughter. It's the fidgeting of the sides of their mouths as they try not to follow. It's the dangerous fluctuation of their cheekbones as they clamp down their mouths, hoping that it doesn't give way to sudden bursts of laughter.

I love these little signs that show that life exists. I love it that smiles and laughter and senses of humour exist.
Oh, wonderful laughter.
I have to say, sincerely and genuinely and without a doubt, that laughter is my best medicine.

Tragedy.

I have a wise friend. His name is Patrick.
He's one of those deep people with lots of wit and wisdom.
He wrote this quote:
"There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it."

I was so impressed. And then I found out he didn't write it. He just liked it.
Another guy, some guy, called George Bernard Shaw, wrote the original quote. 

I like to think of the word "gain" as "find". I relate to "find" better.

We're always looking for something, do you realize? Nobody residing on this Earth is truly happy in their soul. We'll always be in want.
Want, want, want.
From this point on, I'll never blame anyone for not being happy with their lives. Who can blame them? We'll always want.
Want, want, want.

First post ever

With thought, surely comes more thought.
That seems a bit obvious, but for me, there has been so many cases where I start thinking and can't stop. There's so much to think about.

My thoughts started out as a mere assignment.  I wanted to write something deep and meaningful. Unfortunately, I'm not much of a deep and meaningful person.
Anyhow, I got around to writing. And then, I realized how much there is to wonder and contemplate about. So much.


Too much.
