Attention span of a goldfish with ADHD

"Love anything and your heart will be wrung, and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket - safe, dark, motionless, airless - it will change. It will not be broken; it will be become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." -- C.S. Lewis

I actually think I might be incapable of love....I mean, I love my family and I love my pets, but as far as romantic love goes...I don't think I can really do it for any significant length of time. I loved Kevin, but I got bored and got over it. And I've loved other people...or seen the potential for love to develop...and nothing seems to keep my interest. The instant I see that possibility for something more...I am no longer interested. I'm not sure if it's a self protection method, if I have no attention span at all, or if I'm just too lazy to put work into anything. Ya know--the thing is, I'm not looking for someone to marry right now...but someone with which to be affectionate and spend some free time with...but even then, nothing really interests me.

Ahh well...that was my serious reflection for the evening. I don't feel like giving details...mostly because I'm not sure what prompted that little ramble. It isn't really aimed at anyone in particular or at any particular situation...just kind of an observation.
