raw emotions

i came across a friend's blog and got very inspired by his take on relationships, dealing with love and lost love. you know love is a huge word despite being just another 4-letters word in e dictionary and e magnitude of it is mind-blowing.. in my life i've seen countless of relationships, those that works out and those that don't and i always seem to learn a little something out of every relationship i've come across in my life

love as pictured in e bible is patient & kind. love does not envy nor does it boast and it is not proud. love not rude & not self-seeking and not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. i can't agree more with this, yet this isn't e end of its meaning.. love shouldn't condone lies, it doesn't mean one can't make mistakes it means standing up to take responsibility for e mistake and learn from there. it will weather storms & become stronger when trials take place but it should never be an avenue to lie to smooth things out. love is taking time to notice e small details/habits of e other, a simple gesture goes a long way.. going e extra mile for that someone without calculating what's in return for an act, being able to share happiness & sadness together without e fear of being judged for your actions. love is knowing i can trust whole-heartedly & looking into your partner's eyes takes your breath away, e center of your universe and e one who puts a smile on your face despite a bad day.

because of our imperfection, everyday of our lives we're working towards a better us where we learn from past mistakes and do what had been done well. at e risk of sounding naive, i believe that everyone has a soulmate in their life & it takes time to find that particular someone.. some are luckier they find it earlier in their life while some never give up searching even when they're greying at e temples. is there a definition of the 'right one'? i guess it's up to e individual. for me, there's no 'right girl/guy' there's just someone who loves you as you love he/she back and make up for each other's weaknesses yet at e same time bring out e best in each other.

along e way there will definitely be humps & curbs that hinders and slow you down but from young most of us would have been taught to stand up from where you've fallen, if love let you down pick up from where you fell and move on cos life is too short to be mulling over someone who doesn't reciprocate or in plain terms not worth e efforts. breakups are never easy as i so often emphasized believe me i know that but breakups happen for a reason and irreconcilable differences will remain irreconcilable unless both parties are willing to give it another shot. i am a firm believer of not going back to a failed relationship because e breakup happened for a reason and unless both parties are honest with each other, willing to make more than just an effort to right e wrongs i dun see a purpose in getting back together only to split up for e same reason few months down e road. i'd prefer to think that's being practical instead of harsh and my friends so often points out to me.. however love takes time to nurture and flourish and that being said it requires effort & hard work, no strong relationships come by without trials and endless hard work..

never a person who could pen my thoughts down accurately (e reason why i chose to major in marketing and not english/literature) i hope e above wouldn't offend anyone cos there's no pin-pointing of anyone in particular and these are just thoughts of mine which may or may not be provoked by parties in my life so excuse my rather private thoughts and raw emotions. :)
