Nothing adds up. The loose ends are too many. They trail all over the place. One day, someone will step on one and trip you up. You’ll fall face down flat and lie there for a while. Then get up, wipe your mud-smeared, tear-stained face and carry on. Why won’t you just cut off the loose ends? Why won’t you just make sure that there won’t be anymore tripping? Haven’t you had enough?
I’ve learnt that people can’t make you happy. Things can’t make you happy. A job can make you only just so much happy and no more. Happiness is not about what happens around you. It’s something else…it’s something inside of you. It’s an attitude, it’s an effort, and… it takes practice.
Oh and before I forget, yes, hormones do have something to do with it too. But attitude is bigger, better and more effective than hormones. With a happy attitude, hormones can be quelled rather than vice versa.
J told me about A and S. A cheated on S. The same old stupid story. Sucks. No originality even. Just different means of being warped. It’s a fallen world. That’s the only answer I have. Fallen. And how fallen.
But you know what, J? I wish you hadn’t told me that…I really hate hearing that kinda crap. Don’t even TELL me about it. I don’t wanna know.
And the stupidest bit is I don’t even know A and S. Why the heck should I care? But every time, you hear a nonsensical story like this, you realize that everything you hear about love is a lie. Cos when I heard of A and S, I dared to believe again. I dared to hope. But now, they’re a done deal, and all that belief and hope and faith has been so unwarranted, so undeserved.
Love is over rated, isn’t it? It’s all about manufacturing consent. They make you believe that it’s gonna be an awesome deal. If they didn’t, you wouldn’t end up expecting quite so much.
Better not to have loved, than loved and lost. Better not to have hoped than hope and find that you were just another fool.
Who wants to believe in love? If you do, ask yourself also, if you can afford the luxury of a heartbreak. And if the answer is no, I’d ask you to think twice.
(This is a rather depressing post. Please don’t drop in condolences though. Tomorrow is another day and I’ll be ok. For now, I just need to get this outta my system and go sleep. )
