i was reading a blogpost a minute ago. written by a person I've always looked up to, someone i thought was very mature and wise, observational, and through her writing can make heartfelt connections. Someone whom i thought had experienced a lot, has seen through a lot. Whom everyone loves. And whom is strong.
but i suppose that even the ones I look up to can be incredibly fragile. she wrote a very long blogpost just because of something someone said about her. we're all so vulnerable to words and things people do. we care to an overwhelming extent of how people view us, what we represent in society. and this can't be blamed - its human nature. we've all experienced something at some point of our lives that tells us it is necessary to hold up a wall; some have thicker walls than others, but we all have walls. i used to believe it was alright to completely let my guards down, but i have been proven wrong again and again. it isn't safe to leave no defense system to guard your heart. but that doesnt mean that your wall should be completely impenetrable!
I never really enjoyed watching soap operas; i thought they contained too much backstabbing, complicated relationships, gossips, tears, masquerades everywhere. there was too much drama. watching them makes me feel uncomfortable. it fills my head with too many things all at once, so i reach out for the remote control and press a button. then the soap opera's gone. but why has it turned out that our lives are so much like what's shown on tv? this time i cannot just reach for a remote control. why do we have so many things within within within ? meanings between the lines, sneers within the smiles, glares within the looks, hatred and contempt within the hearts, mockery within the actions, intentions within the love? we cannot deny that every single one of us seeks for happiness. so why have we veered off to some foreign path that we've not known in childhood? the sign clearly points to a dead end, a corner of darkness. don't go there. why can't we all just say sorry and be friends again. it doesn't matter who was right or who was wrong. nobody is ever completely right, and you know that. rememeber all the good times you've had together - be they pretentious or genuine, you did once upon a time enjoy this other person's company. so one of you, take the initiative and say sorry. who would be brave enough to remove that ugly stain on both of your hearts?
please, look at the calendar. look at the clock on the wall. time is ticking.
do you seriously want to look back and see what you're seeing now? is this how your final high school year is supposed to end?
do each other a favour, do yourselves a favour. love, of all kinds (no matter how much pain it can bring), can still surpass all.
i really hope to see everyone smiling and talking to each other again.
