Thought Snacks - Ahh... Pathetic...
Ever had the thought that the one you're meant to be with was the one you met one fine summer day a couple of years back? Or that you actually believed in serendipity - that sheer twist of luck where you actually met him/her without really looking for him/her? Well, then, that's what dreams are made of. Ahh... Pathetic...
Ever had the thought that the one you're meant to be with was the one you were with on your last bus ride to that elusive "happy ever after"? Or that you actually thought he/she was the one, only he/she thought you're not the one for him/her? Well, then, I guess you were screwed backed to reality. Ahh... Pathetic...
Ever had the thought that the one you're meant to be with is actually there, sitting in a cubicle at the far end of the room? Or that you're a mere 55 steps from that storybook ending you have dreamt of ever since you learned the meaning of a "happy ending"? Well, then, welcome back to the myth that had once engulfed you off your senses. Ahh... Pathetic...
What if these weren't merely thoughts that played in your head? What if they were happening right now? Who is the one? How would you know that the one whom you think is the one is actually the one you've been dreaming of? How can you tell the one from the rest? What are the signs? What is it that makes you feel so sure... adamant to a certain extent?
But what of choices? Do the stars align to actually allow you to meet the one? But wouldn't it be still your call if you'd pursue the one? When all the signs lead you to the one, isn't it your choice to actually drop every piece of crap you've been taking with you and actually try to bring home the bacon... I mean the one?
What if there were no signs? Would you know who really is the one? From whence does this idea of the one curl up to? Who planted the seeds of this malevolent attempt to spice up one's life with all the eventual botchery you'd have to go through? Why do we look forward to all the hodgepodge that the hunt for the one brings? Is the juice actually worth the squeeze?
Maybe... Maybe not... But isn't it all too pathetic? To be actually fated to have to go through these froufrous for the mere excitement of the chase and that all too-good-to-be-true ending we are all in the hunt for... How pathetic can anyone get? I don't know... But for all its worth, I don't mind... Yup... Totally apathetic to being pathetic...
i think that when the One comes along, you just know.
but the conditions for knowing entail that you prepare yourself for the One, meaning... you have strived to be the best that you can be in the years prior to the One's coming. i met my One rather late in life as far as pinoy society standards go, but i don't think i would have noticed him had i been younger, because when i was younger, i was this insecure, self absorbed woman who didn't really believe in investing my life in the enterprise of love.
and choice? this comes into play when you have decided to commit yourself to that someone... didn't we learn this in philo 101? at least i did, i remember my teacher distinctly drumming it into our heads that true freedom is exercised when we make choices, not when we vacillate between A or B. and considering the life of love that i have been blessed to live in the last 5 years or so, i can say that yes, indeed, love is a choice, because it won't always be rosy and nice, there'll be shitty days, too, but the essential step to remain true to one is one that cannot be taken too lightly.
don't worry, ulupong, the stars in your sky are still shifting and aligning... in the meantime, you do your bit in making yourself the kind of man YOU would want to be with forever and ever. to put it bluntly, don't fuck around because you will get fucked. that's the karmic law of our world.
over and out! :)
