sweet + heart

When we were kids, mom used to tell us Sweets are bad for your teeth, if you eat more, your teeth will grow black black one... then not pretty anymore.

But, to think of it now - we understand the logic of tat concern.

Ever had this feeling before?

You have a fuzzy feeling towards someone, you also know that you don't want to trust your feelings anymore. You tell yourself, no no... you're not going to think about it. When you listen to love songs, you think about him again. You slap yourself - concentrate!! You have lunch with friends, they talk about Him, heart twitched... You think logically (relationship are just expensive, dinners/dates/phonebills, soooo much effort!)

The usual heart & head debate. Ulimately, no one is going to win.

But weirdly, this debate last longer now than when we were kids - we would just ignore mom's nag and even steal the sweet and stuff it in our mouth before she turns around.

jack : yeah.. we don't take risk that much anymore .. where as when we were kids -- u would just take ANY risk... i guess a big part is exposure... bang the wall... whoa pain one.. u won't bang the wall again!

mr jp: it's not only about financially... but emotionally too... it's very very tiring.

There is a saying in Spanish that says, "El que no ama por sufrir; sufre porque no ama"

Loosely translated: If you are afraid to love because you are afraid of the pain or hurt--you are already suffering pain and hurt because you won't love.

Go for it Jolene! All of your friends will be here for you if it doesn't work out...and if it DOES; we want to be there to share in your happiness as friends! You win both ways!

Go go go!

Rick Taylor said...

Your gut says 'wait'. Then wait. If he really loves you; he'll wait until you are ready.

I like risk-free relationships. I think the necessary component is finding someone with the same level of pain-tolerance as yourself. That way, both parties actually enjoy getting hurt together ;P

jerng : omg. you are so deep. hahaha.. but in the ideal world - it's not about the pain.........
