The "FYP"

Wednesday… a weird day to write a blog, especially if you still have a long list of things to do and haven’t had enough sleep. Wait. Or maybe it is because I didn’t have enough sleep, that I become somehow emotional?

The first week of New Year hasn’t been good. Although I am glad (and being gossipy) of seeing lots of my friends status changed to “relationship”, I heard more sad stories from my closer friends. How can all of them happen all together in one week?

And I really lost my ability to calm them down. What am I supposed to say when someone told you that they were broken hearted, that they are not good enough for the other? The most I can say is that you need to learn to appreciate yourself first before you demand other to love you. If you appreciate yourself enough, you will see that it is their lost not to accept you, and you can get over them.

Somehow, even that kind of (what I think as) general comments can go wrong, because not everyone has the same beliefs. As far as I know, the point of view can be largely divided into two extremes:
1. Offer your love. If they don’t want it, then too bad. Move on and find another.
2. Offer your love. If they don’t want it, means that you haven’t tried hard enough. Carry on until their heart melt, because you are sure that he/she is the one.

The first extreme will be called playboy/girl and the second extreme might be known as desperado. There is no right or wrong, but I think the latter can make situation really bad for both parties. From my comment, I know that I used to opt for the first. But if that’s the case, how you, as the offered party; ever sure that he/she is not just testing the water?

That’s when I concluded that this thing is too complicated and I am no expert in it. My apologies to my friends who had expected good encouragements but receiving silence instead from me. Trust me that I really don't want to make my friends feel worse with my comment.

I feel better after pouring out these things from my thoughts. Hope that I can have a better sleep today.

I sent my deepest condolences to my friend who just lost her father. Oh, year 2009. God, please make it good somehow.

End of the First Week,
ED

Update: Just get this quote from my sister. The timing is just right.

All the best, everyone :)
