Evolution of IOne subject I've noticed to have yet to cover on my blog is indeed one I hold preciously close to my heart. I seem to have rarely spoken about it only because... (I cannot think of a better reason) I'm young. Don't hold your breath, you know what I'm talking about: Romantic relationships. Ick, I'm not even going to talk about
love yet. Like I said, too young too young. No, I am most certainly not undermining you young love-ridden birds out there however, I can only emphasize so much that it is
my standpoint.
Sometimes, I do tire of kids constantly thinking aloud about their significant others and inflicting this upon those around them. I mean, that alone reminds me of how
singly I am. Admittedly, I do occasionally shudder at the position for fear it might be something of a permanent status although presently it is far too early to tell. Truly, no one really wants to be lonely(redundant sentence I know but I felt it must be said). Straight out though, I've got statements from even the most unlikely of people conveying their yearn for a relationship.
I am a walking contradiction in this respect because I always champion the notion of flying solo; yet if any of my friends come to me with the slightest confession of a crush, I am carefully, but decidedly cheering them on about it. As of late, I realize that I have been encouraging kids to take full advantage of their ease of access to the ones they could possibly love. Only because I have now ascertained that they could have it worse (eg. falling for someone who is off-limits; in terms of circumstances and good relations, or for some one who is far away).
I have always wondered how can it be possible for you to feel so strongly about someone even if they(with or without them knowing) don't for you.
The important message here is that I genuinely believe that one should put oneself out there. eg. let your feelings be known, or
start doing something about it for that matter. Somebody has to make the first move.
I feel a cliche coming on.
Wait for it.
What have you got to lose?Pride? Bah, that can be re-established.
Reputation? Come on, since when did you care.
Probable hurt from rejection? You'll get over it. (Okay okay, easier said than done)
Still,
What have you to gain?
Potential reciprocated
love. The feeling that you get when you know that something's true.
I'll save it for another day to address being on the receiving end of proclamations of love and attention that you do not want. Which tends to happen more often than we'd like. Why oh why?
I know I'm going to be eating my words soon about the "making the first move thing" because I never do, but heck I don't have to practice what I preach. *sticks tongue out. See why I am unable to talk about love? I'm still a frigging five-year-old.
Right now, I just want
you to think about what you have/ought to do.
PS: Kudos to the Irish and English lads for playing in the freezing cold yesterday in Twickenham (RBS6Nations). From this day onwards, my respect for rugby players will never waver. However brutal it may look. I wish I was there watching though. It looked hella exciting.
