Just watched 'Pan's Labyrinth', has to be one of the grossest and scariest fairy-tale inspired movie I've ever watched, definitely not a movie for the children or the faint-hearted.
***
A friend told me, he had a 5-year relationship, but one day it just ended through one sms from the BF, and my friend said he only replied the sms once - wished his BF all the best and go pick up the stuff he left at his place.
That was all. My friend didn't call, didn't beg, didn't get emotional or all dramatic with the BF. Just one sms exchange and there went the 5-year relationship, gone with the wind.
I'm not sure whether I should admire the coolness and rationality of my friend or feel sorry for the fact that such a long relationship could be ended just like that, without any traces of emotion or effort of saving it. I'd think that 5 years is a very long time, how can something built with this long a time be ceased to exist in just one exchange of sms?
So what exactly is love? Is it just two people being happy together over a period of time, and when either one had enough of the other, they just pack up, leave each other's life and move on? Is love this impermanant thing that helps us go through life by keeping us from being too miserable from time to time?
And to think that I've been so naive and misleaded all these while, assuming love equals eternal bond between two souls. But there is no such thing, is there? It's only an imaginary utopian vision for the most romantic of fools, who think that the world revolves around his happiness and his search for his soulmate.

Love to me is losing more and more of it's sacredness, tainted by the cruel facts of reality as I go through the rites of adulthood.
I feel like I'm outgrowing the fairy-tale called 'love', afraid that one day I might realise, that there is indeed no such thing as love, or at least not in the way I knew it.

Sometimes I realise how scary it can be to bump into someone believing in love the way I do, it's like bumping into a delusional person with no sense of reality.
For let's face it, nowadays love is just an excuse for you to keep dating the same hot guy until his novelty wears off.

I reckon I must be one of those delusional moonstruck individuals who has lost touch with reality, because I still believe in soulmates and lifelong bonds based on love and caring. But I know the frustration you feel. Is is too easy for us to become jaded.
From one fool to the other, cheers on mate!
