I may forget a lot of things but never my tradition...
So this is my essay on LOVE (2010 edition).
"To the Fallen"
It seems like only yesterday I was a young teenager looking desperately for "the one". I can remember all too well
the feeling of hurt and rejection, whenever a crush liked someone else.
Is this feeling normal?
Is falling in love supposed to give you some kind of insecurity and desperate need for self-assurance?
This is dedicated to the fallen...
To the left behind...
To the one who loved true yet lost...
To the happy...
To the one patiently waiting...
To the heart that's always breaking.
Love is one of the many mysteries in life we would never fully understand.
At first you'd think that words were enough...
That hugs would suffice...
That kisses would express what you feel...
That gifts would satisfy your loved one...
But there's always something missing, isn't there?
There's always that pain...
That question...
That heartache...
That unanswered question...
That issue...
That woman...
That guy...
That feeling that there's something not right...
That sacrifice you always have to do that you feel isn't fair.
So where do we stand in this?
When we feel like giving up?
Like love isn't enough?
Like things aren't fair?
Like she should treat you better?
Like he should call more often?
Like the words "I love you" should mean more than just this?
Just this cycle... With pain and anger...
Love seems meaningless sometimes.
But sometimes it seems like it's the only thing that makes us feel a little better...
A little more human...
A little more vulnerable...
And a little more alive...
Happy Valentine's day! (2010)
