Of the good and the evil in the world, there are many complications behind them which are hard to understand.
Which is why we should never only focus on the surface and judge others without understanding them first.
Those who like to pay the bill, do so not because they are loaded but because they value friendship above money.
Those who take the initiative at work, do so not because they are stupid but because they understand the concept of responsibility.
Those who apologize first after a fight, do so not because they are wrong but because they value the people around them.
Those who often text you, do so not because they have nothing better to do but because you are in their heart.
One day, all of us will get separated from each other. We will miss our conversations of everything and nothing and the dreams we had. Days, months and years will pass until this contact becomes rare.
One day, our children will see our pictures and ask: “Who are these people?”
And we will smile with invisible tears because a heart is touched with a strong word and you will say: “It was them that I had the best days of my life with.”
The choices you make, will reflect who you are as a person, what your priorities are, and your inner character. Although it may seem so minor, because we make choices every day, every minute, every second, that we tend to lose track and take things for granted, assuming it'll always be there. But that is a choice in itself. The choice to take something for granted. That is your choice, but also your loss, once its gone.
On the other end of the spectrum....
I stumbled upon a Wongfu Production video today (which by the way, they make awesome short films), and one of their videos' message hit me.
Nothing is ever enough. Throwback to those days when "I like you" -those three words, meant so much to the teenage me. To those times where just the mutual feelings for each other was enough. But then, once you passed that phase, you'd get used to the idea, and raise your expectations, "I don't want you to just 'like' me, I want you to 'love' me." And when "I love you" wasn't enough because you want the other person to 'show' you instead of 'say' it, things start breaking apart, simply because, it is never enough.
Is it human nature or something to always expect more once we get something? Why can't we just be satisfied with what we have? I have done my fair share of thoughts on what exactly drives 'expectations' and what not, but maybe its because we always yearn for change, crave for 'something new', seek the unknown elements of surprise. So all these 'i like you's and 'i love you's' could just be empty words to you, mere statements.
But that's where my point comes in. Although love isn't as simple and innocent as we thought it would be all those years ago, one thing is for sure, whenever things break apart, be it relationships, between partners, friends or family, or when words start to hold empty meanings, remember that it isn't the end of the world. Choice; it is by choice-- constantly choosing to love.
CAN SCHOOL BE OVER YET?
the past 3 weeks have been a living hell. 3 assignments in 2 weeks? Oh lord bless my soul. Currently this reflects me as a person, for my choosing to blog instead of continuing with my Admin research essay (which by the way is the worst subject on earth, I don't even know how I am still alive and kicking). But hey, kudos to me for surviving the past 9 weeks of uni woohoo! 2 more months (exactly) and its home sweet home baby.
Anyeong! (:
