I believe in love, believe in its sweet and bitter taste, as well as the happiness and pains it brings. I appreciate it, treasure it, but I don't trust it alone, as I don't really trust any similar emotional feeling or passion. As an engineer, I'm too realistic to trust things based on nothing, e.g. the relationship without a future. Maybe you'd say I'm too pessimistic, "Future is made by human, " you'd say, "let's try, and give each other a chance."
But trust me, being rejected outside the door is painful, yet expelled out of the room is torture...it's not worthy for anyone to taste and suffer from. I did once so proudly believe that I could be strong enough to control the worldly passion, but I was wrong. I became so much into it even though I had understood how hopeless and futureless it was, and it hurt when it was gone.
This is the first time I speak so much about "love" since my last relationship (and the first one) ended, for there are some reasons that force me to face it. I'm not complaining though, since I have to do this sooner or later. Some friends doubt if I was really serious with that relationship, since I had known it would lead to nothing since the very beginning. Well, I won't excuse myself with craps as "Love is not reasonable" or "it disturbs my logical and rational thinking"...the truth is, I was too proud and adventurous and I told myself, "I know the possibility is low, but why not giving myself a chance? Let's see if we can make it." So then I tried, and wasn't able to release myself from it.
So being more rational, or coward, I think I would start the journey of love only when I see my destination. If the possibility of a happy ending is low, then the less we are into it, the less we are hurt. I won't play around because of vanity, impulses, enjoyment or sympathy, and I will accept the hatred I deserve for saying "let's just stop here and let's just be normal friends", since I know how this hurts.
But still, yes, that is what I mean to say.
I thought I would never write the words above in the blog since they are too personal and worthless for anyone to read... but this is the answer to a recent question from a really dear friend...:'(
