Someone I know
Thursday, May 25th, 2006My topic for this entry is love. Love by itself is very powerful. It can motivates and bond ppl together. For example, love between siblings, love between children and their parents and of course love between a man and a woman. But what if this love is not handled well? Will it become hate? It’ll most certain hurt ppl instead of blessing them.
I’m most certain many parents love their children. Always protecting them from harm. Always guiding them to the right path. Always do their best to provide for their children. And I’m sure all these comes unconditionally for the simple reason that their child means the world to them. I’m not a parent but I know this well coz I’m being treated like this by my parents. But there were many things that I couldn’t understand when I was young. Why must you force me to study? Why can’t I go out and play with my friends more? What you mean my friends are no good ppl? Do you even know them well enough to comment? We all went through it and as time goes by, we finally understood that they only meant well.
But do we understand this fact soon enough? Some do and some don’t. For those who don’t, maybe they hate their parents more than they love them. There are many more unpleasant outcomes which I don’t wanna mention. So how you manage and handle your love is very important as I’ve just found out recently.
My friend is so deeply in love with her current boyfriend that even though she knows that everyday she’s hurt with so many negative thoughts but yet she chose to believe in him and continue to give him so many chances. Maybe she’s hoping that after his hectic work schedule is over, he’ll spend more time with her. She chose to believe in this and it is this that keeps her going on. Her close friends have all seen how much she has changed and suffered recently, some told her to give up and stop being so silly. It is easier said than done. I myself have seen her cry so much that frankly speaking, I feel like slapping her. LoL. If you know that he is the reason that’s making you so sad, then why bother to hold onto him?
It is never easy giving up on someone when you love him/her too much. I myself once gave an indefinite period for someone I love to come back to me. We broke up in Apr 04 because of my immaturity. Since then, I’ve told myself that it’s only a mistake that time can correct hence, I gave her time to slowly recover her feelings. It was only in Dec that year we finally got back. And I thought things r getting for the better but we broke up in Apr 05. After waiting so long for things to get better, we still broke up…
Seeing my friend now reminds of what I used to do last time. I never knew I was so foolish annd blind at that point of time. I only thought that time can heal all things and she’ll eventually return to me. This is what my friend is doing now. Very foolish… Being just a friend, I can only say "If you need someone to talk to, just give me a call"
"I only hope God can give you the strength to carry on and he can clear your head as to what you must do in your life and whatever is to happen will only happen and what you can do is to face it bravely. I pray that God will always give you the strength you need to press on"
