on (unrequieted) love
Quite a few things have happened recently to bring me to write about this. I'll try not to get into too many details.
Take these 3 text messages I received recently.. all of them forwards, but all of them quite... thought provoking. In the order i received them:
forget about all the reasons why something may not work...
you only need to find one good reason why it will... :)
good morning friendships!:)

Sweet thought:
Sometimes when you say, "I'm okay"
you want someone to look you in the eyes, hug you tight and say,
"I know you're not"
---------------------
A few years ago, I thought the giving of one's self completely was THE expression of loving someone. great if it's a two way street, but just like San Agustin Street here in Salcedo Village, how now if it's a unilateral expression of will? Once upon a time, I said it didn't matter. I'd still give everything.What I didn't realize then, what if the efforts weren't appreciated, or worse, became a nuisance? If you hold back, do you love the person any less?
Is it really just a matter of preference? then again, preferences change. would you laud a guy for waiting around for years, no matter how many times the girl said no, or would you call him crazy? does the end justify the means? It's a fine fine love between love and a waste of time.i guess same with true of being crazy and romantic.
Right now, I feel numb emotionally. tired, maybe, even a bit frustrated. okay, a lot frustrated. but more than anything, i don't feel anything. scary.
This past week, I've been working my ass off. Getting back into my groove, getting some work done. Also, I've been running around like a headless chicken, running errands one after the other, especially the last 2 nights. This is to the point that I now think about why I do all this.
Over lunch the other day, my boss was egging the junior associate about getting married and how after a long day at work, you go home to the wife and everything is forgotten. haaaay. ok. all I can say is, I guess it's just a matter of preference.
