[Before I write anything else, I would like to say that everything written here is my own opinion. So please don't take it personally]
"You’re my only one. My one and only true love. I promise you I’ll never leave you and love u forever and ever," the boy said.
"Oh, darling…I love you too. You’re the only one I will ever love," the girl said.
Omg…someone hand me a basket ‘coz I’m gonna barf. I can’t stand this kinda thing. You know, stuff like "if there’s love, you don’t need anything else". I mean, how dumb can people be?
Like for instance, I have this old friend of mine whom I’ve known since we were practically zygotes, she ran away from home. Mixed with the wrong group of friends I supposed. She ran away with this boyfriend of hers and has been living out alone for about a year now and recently, she dropped the bombshell on her parents and told them that she’s gonna get married. Do you know how old is she? Only a year older than me, 17. She dropped out of school before even managing to finish Form 4 and she’s gonna get married to some mechanic or VCD boy. And yeah, there was once an ex-boyfriend of hers who got imprisoned for selling pirated DVDs, so everytime she wanted to visit him she had to pay like a few hundred ringgit for only a few minutes. Like, how stupid is she? Excuse me, but I wouldn’t pay so much just to see that person for only a few minutes.
Okay, so she chose to leave her comfortable home just to be with some mechanic guy who can barely support himself. Giving up her whole future just for love. I know some poeple would say it’s good and all. But honestly to me it’s plain dumb. I seriously do not believe in love being the strongest thing and you can live together happily but in a poor condition. At least this applies to love between two lovers. For family, it is a little different.
I’ve seen many situations where one side constantly complains that the other side wants to leave him/her just because he doesn’t have enough money and etc. to support both of them. Most of the time they’ll ask "What about love?" True. What about love? Love does count too but please be logical. It is not easy to support even oneself alone nowadays. Let alone wanting to get married and have a family. Again like my old friend, her boyfriends earns like maybe RM500-RM1000 per month. She might earn more because she’s in the pirated DVDs business. It’s easy money for her. But easy money always comes with big consequences. What if she gets caught? That’s goodbye to her entire life. I don’t know why she wants to run away. She has a good family. Her parents are really smart and understanding people. They hardly ever scold her nor constrain her too much. And yet, she said she doesn’t have enough freedom. Sometimes people just don’t appreciate what they have.
Anyway, back to the main topic, love. When a guy tells me "I’ll love you forever and keep you in my heart always"…I’ll just smile and in the back of my mind I’ll think "Please don’t crap with me. You think we’re gonna end up getting married one day? How ironic can it be?" Okay, so there may be guys who purposely say these things to sweet talk me. But I don’t fall for sweet talk. So usually I can tell wether it’s true from the heart or it’s just talk. (I’m not trying to brag or anything here)
So, it is usually in chinese movies I see this kinda love crap. Again this is my own opinion. Don’t say I didn’t say it. A lot of movies have the same storyline. Guy meets girls. Both falls in love. Guy doesn’t meet certain requirements. But girl willing to give up everything for him. Finally, they got together but lived happily ever after in poverty. Stupidity, stupidity and stupidity.
Besides that, I see a lot of people especially young teenagers who thinks that "Love conquers all. Together we shall overcome all struggles in life as long as we love each other." Stop dreaming. Wake up and see the real world. Love only comes up to this much. Why drag another person with you into your problems when you yourself can’t deal with them properly?
Hmm…there used to be an ex of mine (I’m not naming names) who can’t seem to accept the fact that we’re not made for each other. He used to always tell me, "One day, I’ll be able to win your heart back"
"How?" I’ll asked.
"With hope and faith I will be able to get you back," said him.
"Oh, please don’t waste your time waiting for me," I’ll say and add silently to myself "coz i’ll never go back to you"
"But I can always hope," he’ll always reply.
Oh puh-lease. Don’t drop this kinda crap on me because I might get a seizure from it. But of course being the nice person I am, I didn’t tell him that or said anything that might offend him. I only dared to type this out because I know he’ll never read my blog…well i’m quite sure he won’t.
Don’t misunderstand me after reading what I’ve wrote. I do want what almost every other girl wants…which is to fall in love and get married one day. But to me love only matters so much and marriage doesn’t happen just because you feel like wearing a wedding dress. There are many other responsibilities to consider. I do not plan in getting married for the next 10 years. So, keep your proposes and wedding rings for I will not say "I do" in the meantime. Lol…I sound conceited don’t I? =P
That’s all from me tonight. Need my beauty sleep. Goodnight.
