It’s the 24th Aug and we coming to the last stretch of the Ramadan period. Many changes and many more to come. We as humans are prone to adapt and change. Its times like this that memories play in my mind. The memory of my brothers, dad and past history takes its toll on this tired mind.
Briefing With Tun
As we progress towards the year, I have been witness to many wonderful and yet sad tragedies, For at times, I looked as if we could step back and view the whole matter on the whole then life would be so much easier to understand. As it is, life is hard to understand.
Why are there that deny love and relationship? Citing on fate and destiny to deny the fact that as such things do exits, we human still have to look and work at it. Is being hurt so bad pushes us to forget those we love? Those we once called soul mates? What crime can we equate the departure? While yet as humans try to deny it, we need love, we need to know that someone, somewhere understands us, accepts us and supports us. In hour of need to be the shoulder to cry on, in hours of joy to be the person to celebrate it with, thus lies the dilemma of love. Where each are often wondering if are they being used, is the other party being sincere? The questions that even Einstein would defer answering.
For me, the pain of falling down is but apart of growing up, We get hurt and times we hurt people, we are suppose to learn from mistakes and ensure they do not happen again. Letting go of our past love is never easy, the memories and things shared can never be repeated with the new person. It could be better, it could be worse but surely it would be different. And to me that is what matters most, the journey is what makes the destination worth while, Why? Because the memories that are build along the way, the fights, the make ups and the things shared are what makes the relationship strong. Unfortunenly not everyone has the courage to start anew, past pain makes us close up and comparing our past love to a new one will surely doomed the relationship.
Recently a new light shines on me, something new, a new journey and yet as hard as it is to convince but yet it starts, her blog put the right question and yet, the light glows ever so quietly burns and possibilities start to open itself up. Its harder but as stated it is the journey that holds the key. Understanding and adapting is what new possibilities for both, along the way if even Beauty can fall in love with the Beast, surely love will find a way. All in all it’s the heart that shows the way, taking time out for each other, sacrifices in time, money or effort more often than not breeds the care and grows the love. As the journey progress, memories of the past will make itself is a pain but it’s the joy of new experiences that binds and commits’ us to the journey.
Watching the movie 500 days of summer, reminds me of me…(hahahaha) ya the guy is hopeless romantic, always doubting and thinking too much, on fate and destiny but yet in the end, his love with summer ended in 500 days and she got married to someone else… TRAGDEY? Nope as the morale of the story is that one cannot give up hope and one must keep trying, hiding behind the shades of being single and independent will not take us far, for it is only an excuse to find others as life is never complete unless it is shared. So its is hardest to let go of our past and embrace a new tomorrow, we know that even the new journey will have its share of sad times with the promise of joy but my dad always says “2 days of rain is nothing compared to 5 days of sunshine and the rainbow after the rain” so hang in there folks, be brave, be daring, be truthful but yet most importantly believe, as only if we allow ourselves to believe would then we are able to see the future that lies in front of us. Love knows no bounds and it is blind, for ugliness of others maybe the beauty for some, no point if we are as beautiful as angels if we are blind and cruel as demons, find the wonders of others, see their sacrifices, look at their potential and the most important part is that he or she makes us happy and able to accept us for who we are. The best line of the movie was when at the end, this guy told the story of his dream girl… here is how it goes..“My dream girl must be a babe, hot in bed and allows me to do anything I want, she should be into sports and never nags, unlike my gf megan but in all truth, I prefer my gf megan as she accepts me for me and the most important is that she is real, not some dream.”
Reading this between the lines, tells us many things, yah we want those in our dreams but yet we fail to see the other part of us so we forget, its not what you want that matters but rather its what you need. And with that.. take care folks, keep the fires burning and love growing, throw a small prayer for this soul and may I find the path that is blessed by Him.
PEACE
