My thoughts on life, love, and jealousy...

Life is just simply too short to worry about everything.
This is especially true for things you have no control over.

Don't sweat the small stuff, just live and let live.

Family is important.
You will always want to take care of your family.
But there is always a time to let it go.
This is especially true if your family is a burden on your own individuality.
You can, and will need to, build a new family eventually.
Building a "new" family does not require making children. (There's enough of those out there already.)

Love is important, true love is best.
True love, from compassion and care, does not judge.
True love does not hinder, it does not tire.
It will always care, and always be there, no matter what.

Now my bit on jealousy. It can be cute if handled correctly, or a dangerous monster if you let it take charge.
I should know this because I have had my own battles with it, and for a while had a decent amount of control over it.
(I say decent because I know there were failures to control it at times.)
But I also lost that control when others fed it and made me feel insecure.

Now a shout out to you parents...
I have noticed something from some parents that saddens me.

Any of you who are willing to think, much less utter out a prase like:
"I will be on top of any relationship [my child] is in"
Really saddens me.

Those are NOT words of love and compassion.
Those are words of control and manipulation.

It means you are willing to manipulate them and control them into getting what you want from them, or getting them into a relationship that you want them in.

Some parents I have heard say this actually are the sort who could not accept their children being homosexual.

This sort of thing is disrespectful to them, its not true love or compassion, and not supportive of them.

I have heard of this sort of thing happening and being said, and it deeply saddens me that some parents must feel this way.
It's about as bad as thinking that you can cure gayness or that it is a choice.
(Which it really isn't, your kid was born that way.)

Now on a side note:
I have been called on by the spirit to continue my sci-fi series "Aftermath" and should be putting up a chapter every week or two.
