How Much Would You Sacrifice for Love?

Love conquers all. Or so they say. Love goes beyond all boundaries and for love you leave your family and friends. For love you sacrifice everything even your own life.How true is this sentiment? In today’s world, with self gratification being on the top of the list, is there place for love to survive.? I believe there is. I believe if love is strong, it can move mountains. If love is strong, it can move an ocean.

A true life event inspired this post. Not mine but of someone I know.

She comes from a rich family. She had everything she ever wanted. She’s the pampered one in the family simply because she is the only girl. Then she fell in love. She fell in love with someone whom her father did not approve. However, she continued seeing this guy as her mother still gave her approval although it was behind her father’s back.

Her boyfriend made it to a good working position and soon impressed her father and somehow they managed to get his blessing. All went fine until the boyfriend made one stupid mistake that ended his career and put his life in shambles. She remained loyal to him and kept the whole thing a secret from her family. Her father found out and demanded that she ended the relationship. She blatantly refused. Her father asked her to choose, her boyfriend or her family. She chose her love and left her family after being disowned.

Despite all the chaos and uncertainties, they got married. More problems followed because of financial matters. After three years, she swallowed her pride and called her father for assistance. Her father was pleased. He told her that she could have everything. A house, a car, even money with one condition. Leave him. Leave her husband. She cried and hanged up after saying no.

Such is love. Such is sacrifice. Would you have been strong enough? Would your love withstand all odds and remain steadfast?

I pray for her. I pray for all couples in love.

Stop Being So Overly Sensitive

Sometimes overly sensitive people bugged me. Sometimes overly sensitive people irritates the hell out of me. Sometimes overly sensitive people irks me so much, I just want to give them one tight slap and say.. not everything is about you! 

People need to realize that I need to speak my mind and yes, gossip about other people too sometimes and if it somehow relates to you then it’s nothing personal. You are just there at the wrong time and place.

For example, if I say X is so pretty but so sad she got bad BO, and you happened to have bad BO too, please don’t take it personally, coz I’m not talking about you and for heavens sake, do something about it if you do have bad BO! And if I say, I really need to get a new handphone coz mine is zongint out on me, I’m not talking about YOUR phone that you are tying together with a rubber band, I’m talking about mine!

For heaven’s sake don’t make everything about YOU! Stop being overly sensitive will ya??!!!

 

Just being me…

Breaking Up is Hard to Do

I’m sure many of us have faced this situation on least one occasion. Be it our choice or the other party, breaking up is never easy. At times, we are just afraid of being alone that we would rather stay in a disastrous relationship and suffer silently.

My first breakup was torture. I was no longer in love with the guy but he insisted that he still loved me and was committed to making the relationship work. I was miserable and I was making him miserable. We fought all the time and every conversation and discussion was an excuse for more arguments. I was already letting go and deep down I knew the relationship was doomed but he still refused to let go. He refused to acknowledge that I no longer loved him and that I was ready to move on without him in my life.

Finally I convinced him to let me go. I told him that I was merely a season for him. A season to experience, a season to learn and a season to love. Now that season is over, and a new season is dawning…for him and for me..

Breaking up is never easy but we finally said our goodbyes and moved on with our lives. I hope he learnt from what we have shared before and moved on to find a better love just like I did

Cheerio…
