oh two oh seven oh seven.
I'm typing out this post on notepad in advance again,
cos the MIO man came to fix our modem that day, but didnt do it properly!
so it still doesnt work.
annoyinggggg with a capital A !
so i'm spending my youth day holiday at home.
waiting for the guy to come and fix it.
UGH !
and yeaaaa !
):
HO WELLS.
aaand aha.
i'm playing all the old love-y songs again.
yeaaaaaaa.
i spent the evening ytd before dinner at the library.
borrowed a book titled, Love adds a little chocolate.
It's full of really sweet and inspiring stories (:
yeaaa.
but they cant beat the sequel to The Dreamcatcher's Child.
that book made me cry.
aaanyways, today feels so draggyyy.
BLEAAAH.
the L word
let's look at the whole, why does one look for love when one is aware of the hurt and all question again.
even if you've read this before in one of my posts long agooo, reinforcement doesnt hurt (:
the answer?
because the love outshines all else, as it should.
no one goes into a relationship, looking for hurt and anger.
it just happens.
getting into a relationship, means one acknowledges that she/he is susceptible to hurt.
one still looks for love, because love completes.
when one looks for love, he/she looks for the joy found in it.
not the hurt that could potentially arise.
and still, with knowledge of that, one gets into a r/s.
funny isnt it?
and a little ironic, sadly.
i'm not expert in this, but yea, i'm just thinking.
what i think it to be at least.
well, when one's in a relationship, it's about discovering yourself in another.
it's like seeing the other side of a coin. the side you cant see when you're holding a coin up.
the side you come to know through first seeing it reflected from outside yourself.
and when that happens, you know, you just need the other side.
being in a relationship isnt for support.
imagine yourself as being a half-filled bottle.
looking for someone else who's a filled bottle in order to complete yourself would leave the other half half-filled.
which shows that relationships are for inter-dependence.
this means that compromising is something important in a r/s.
one cant always be making the choices, and one cant always be following the decisions in silence.
a relationship should seek emotional balance.
neither party should be hurting herself/himself for the other.
someone told once told me, sacrficing yourself for your other half just isnt healthy.
and you arent going to be happy as much as you tell yourself you are, and that's the sad thing.
on the brighter side, love is a celebration of our humanness, not our perfection.
love is moving forward in mututal growth.
love puts responsibilty where it belongs,
love is sharing with each other.
love simplifies your life, not complicates it.
loving is an ebb and flow.

love is sometimes, sacrfice.
A father tried to teach his seven-year-old daughter the meaning of sacrifice. HE explained that the finest gift a person can give is some cherished possesion, one that the person values very much.
On his birthday, the father found pinned to his coat a large sheet of paper on which his daughter had laboriously printed with red crayon: "you are my faverit Daddy and i luv you heeps. My present to you is what i likes best. It is in your poket."
In his pocket he found a strawberry lollipop that he had given her a week before. It hadnt been licked once.
isnt that sweet?
sighs dreamily.
anyways, love is amazing.
i wouldnt be here if it wasnt for love.
and hey, neither would you.
so, love.
i came across this poem,
--
Your life will be richer-If.
Your life will be richer is on this day, you make an effort to:
Mend a quarrel.
Searh for a forgotten friend.
Dismiss a suspicion and replace it with trust.
Write a letter to someone who misses you.
Encourage someone who has lost faith.
Keep a promise.
Forget an old grudge.
Examine your demands on others, and vow to reduce them.
Fight for a principle.
Express your gratitude.
Overcome and olf fear.
Take two minutes to appreciate the beauty of nature.
Tell someone you love them.
Tell them again.
And again.
And again.
obligation can pour a glass of milk, but quite often love adds a little chocolate.
As Elbert Hubbard said,
The love we give away is the only love we keep.
sprinkled in glitter.
