From A Friend...
A friend of mine went sentimental and has been sending me these over the past couple of days. Hope you get out of your slump soon...
I don't have any sleeping problems. I have no worries, no fears, no nothing, just myself. But then I met a couple this morning, laughing together, holding their hands tightly and looking through each other's eyes. It's harder to sleep now. Maybe they're right, I thought I'm better off alone. Maybe it would be nicer to spend your time with someone that you love, someone who means something to you. Maybe I'll try it, not for now but soon. Soon enough when I find someone to share my life with... - Single's Journal
We have to realize that love is not enough to make a relationship work. We need trust, respect, time, effort and total commitment. If a person does not show respect, does not earn your trust, and can't keep a promise then no matter how many times they say "I love you", those words will be empty! Take time to listen to what they don't say. Take time to look at what they don't show because there are secrets hidden beneath their words. So don't let passion but wisdom decide for you. Love wisely because its never easy to love and get hurt.
"If you really like someone you accept every part of them. But you can't do that unless they're willing to share every part with you. If you want to get close to someone, you have to take that risk. If not, then you might miss out on something that could be pretty amazing." - Lana Lang from Smallville

trust, respect, time and effort are actually the fruits of love. these are the things that come as a result of love. contrary to what most people believe, i think that love is not the feeling but rather, the commitment.
saying that you love someone is very different and very serious than saying you're in love with someone. the other means you have a very serious commitment and the other merely means that you're attracted to someone. whether it be lust, like, obsession or infatuation that drives that feeling is no longer important.lolz. the problem is most people tend to mix the two together.
in a good relationship love remains standing long after the feeling of being in-love has died away. one is a hormonal high and the other a spritual high. lol
If you really like someone you accept every part of them
this sounds very good on paper. however, i've yet to see a successful relationship where the two do not purposefully change a part of them to suit the other. if your wife squeezes the toothpaste from the bottom and you squeeze if from the middle... how many years do you think it takes before she starts yelling your ear off regarding that matter? lol at some point. something's gotta give. :D
Ah the tireless quest for the "perfect" love. That's what the sh*t between Kris Aquino and James Yap (and Hope) has been about. Girl meets boy. Girl falls in love with boy. They get married. Boy fools around with mistress. Mistress takes on self-pity + self-justification mode in the name of love. Right now, I just find it stupid that everyone can just throw the word around without knowing the real meaning behind it.
Now, when the proverbial sh*t finally hits the fan (like the sudden appearance of a third party or a child of yours that you only meet now) and a couple can still say they genuinely love each other, then I will be glad to be proven wrong.
From what you said, wanting to share life with someone wasn't what spurred the "sleeplessness". It was envy. And we all know that envy is one of the seven, right?
it's all well on good talking about it. it's another thing to be in it.
aha! its one of those rare occasions where the comments are longer than my posts. :D
kinda heard my friend's doing relatively ok. good one at that. ;)
