Life isn't worth it if you're super serious all of the time

[abaisse]

Life isn't worth it if you don't make a difference.

[justtolove]

You can still make a difference while having fun! You need to lighten up! Love a little, even!

[abaisse]

If you've got nothing else to say I'm going to stop texting you.

[justtolove]

This is what I mean! Just give me like...10 minutes

[abaisse]

To what? Make me believe in the power of having fun?

[justtolove]

Unless there's a chance you'd believe in the power of love

[abaisse]

No need. I accept that love can be a powerful motivator.



[motivating people to do all kinds of stupid shit]

[justtolove]

You don't sound like someone who's been IN love, though

[abaisse]

Do I need to be in love to understand that other people can be?

[justtolove]

YES! Feeling it changes EVERYTHING!

[abaisse]

Citation needed.

[justtolove]

Every love song ever written!

[abaisse]

Try again.

[justtolove]

Every movie, every novel, every PLAY that deals with love! It's in every genre, every format. There are too many sources to name just one. Too many stories that tell of a life-changing love!

[abaisse]

Anything can change one person's life. That kind of love never put a fascist out of power or gave an oppressed group better rights.

[justtolove]

Well, no. But you can still have both! And love changes your life in the moment! It makes all of the bad things so much more bearable. It makes anything possible! You could have all the rights in the world, and still be unhappy.

[abaisse]

In my experience it's hard work and dedication make anything possible.

[justtolove]

Haven't you ever seen someone so utterly, profoundly in love that they would do absolutely anything for that other person? And I mean even die for them!

[abaisse]

And what a waste that would be. What good ever came of someone dying for another person? Dying for a cause, for an ideal: those are what might change the world.

Moreover: Why would I want to be so in love with someone that I couldn't do anything useful for the world? If you're wasting your life already, sure. Another person might give you a reason to live but I've already found mine.

[justtolove]

A life of love is never a waste! Besides, unless you're famous, when you die for an ideal, no one remembers you.

[abaisse]

And look at what those people accomplished.

[justtolove]

But what of all the non-famous people who die for their causes? They don't leave a mark! At least if you love someone before you die, then that's something to leave behind!

[abaisse]

What are they leaving behind? Dying for someone you love leaves behind one person with a dead lover.


[and to be fair that single person could probably now get their life in order and do something useful but Enjolras has picked up that Not Having The Person You Love makes people sad.]

[justtolove]

But then they carry you in their heart and can take up your work! They have a REASON to!
