So I drank a lot of coffee. I got to watch Storyline and was really moved by one particular story. Their love crossed continents. It was a love story, only with a tragic end. Then it got me thinking.. How could a magical thing, such as love could end that way? They were murdered by the way. You can check out their story here.
So anyway, love is life and life as we know it, ends. I guess that's the only way to stop it. But even death does not separate two people in love. It's called eternal love. One story had that kind of love. Her husband, who was an activist, was assassinated right before he's about to pick her up from the airport. Instead of dwelling on the heavy emotions, she focuses on life. She said if she'll share her story, it would not be about the hurt because listeners would feel that. So she chose to share about being a flutist. She said from what had happened to her husband, she learned to appreciate life and the importance of every breath.
It's just amazing. Two different stories but of the same foundation, love. I'm young but I'm not getting younger. I have not found the love of my life yet but I believe it will come if it's for me. I'm just afraid of getting hurt. People make mistakes, but I'm not sure how I'd handle a husband's mistake or a boyfriend cheating. It's kinda like, don't start it, if it would just end eventually. I'm also not the type who collects because I believe in karma and I don't like playing with people's feelings. Quite frankly, if I don't like a person, they would feel it.
When I was in first grade, I had a crush. I think he's special because I never forgot his name. Funny as it may seem but yes, as soon as I learned his name, I never forgot it. Darn. Oops!
Drinking coffee makes my heart beat fast that's why I got to write this. I do apologize. But word of advise; Cherish those people who care for you. Don't chase or look for love. It will come and bite you in the armpits. Just keep your eyes, especially your heart, open :)
