on simple love equation & happiness
I can't get to sleep again. My favorite shows these days mainly involved simple-minded ladies who eventually ended up with intelligent guys who will love them till the end of times. Also because in the meantime, there aren’t enough scary movies and I am really seriously running out of friends to watch such movies with.
But sometimes, i think love is a beautiful illusion. It is the sweetest while it last. I have known, heard and seen all sorts of love stories belonging to good friends or their friends or friends of friends and etc. ever since my secondary school days. From messy, brain-taxing complicated love relationships to very empty ones which sole purpose is to satisfy each other’s very physical desires and needs. Yet ultimately, my all-time favorites are always the ones with the simplest storyline. Boy meets girl, they got married and lived happily ever after with three kids, some even have pets in a nice and cosy hdb flat called home. That feeling is exactly like how you feel after having eaten the best and most exotic food from around the world, yet at the end of the day you still missed your mom's cooking. But recently, perhaps autumn is nearing; there have been a lot of fallen leaves everywhere. As I listened, I also hear myself. Emotions are habits which are very hard to break, I know very well that we all seek B to either fill the emptiness left by A or a urgency to push A out. Yet, if we are not ready to even want to let go, then we are all just fire-fighters.
Where is the happiness then? Some of us may find happiness when seeking our love path in our most miserable or frustrating times. But, I just feel that this is all very suffocating and draining to every aspect of life. Recently i was asked why I should empower that right to another person, to my own happiness. And let him be the dictator and rationed me on it every moment and day. It is like putting your money in the bank then they levied you with taxes for not putting more money into your own account :P yeah, i am still quite sore on having 2 bucks deducted from my bank account since the scheme started from day one. I totally agreed with her that as a grown adult, though sometimes i still switched between earth and la-la wonderland, I am fully capable of lighting up my own life. Then i started talking to a friend and realized that this empowerment of happiness to their male counterparts is a habitual and obvious blind choice that women always make, regardless of their age, religion and period. Why do women always have to be the one to feel that they are wrong to have done this and that, thus the results to their love relationships became the way they are now. For centuries, men like westerners, have always proclaimed that they are indeed superior and saint-like. It is always an illusion that I totally disagree with. Besides, being physically more capable, they are just like women, simply because, we are all classified as a type of animal - Humans. I suppose these claims have their perks in modern times, where the responsibilities of supporting an entire clan are still on the men's. While men work and bring home food, we, women can still go for manicures and rot at home once in awhile if we want to quit our bosses at work. Don't stare at me, I am not complaining about this though. I can't lie through my teeth even if i want to deny that I didn't even like shopping at all.
Regardless, I think no matter how big a woman, people think I am. I am still a small person and it is still nice to hide behind someone once in awhile.
But most importantly, I really want to wish all my dear friends this very simple path to happiness. It is when they are all well and happy, that I can also find joy. Hahaaaaa, ain’t this my choice then …. haaaa ..i want to find my happiness too actually ..
