was talking to tigger yest.
random relationship stuff and suddenly this question popped up.
just how much are you(we) willing to give for a relationship?

i know it may seem kinda cliche and all.
cos it seems that the topic is over and done with alr.
but it has always stayed in my head,
swimming for quite a while.

i always thought that i would give up anything for a relationship.
but hearing it from a different perspective,
it was food for thought.

i've heard personally people who are really together with their partners so deeply
until they are willing to kinda forsake their family just to be with him/her.
its very extreme when you consider it.
it may seem fine from one's perspective but can you imagine if you're the parent?
simply seeing your child giving up everything and disappearing to another country.
with no clue whether if he/she's coming back.
now, would you allow your child do that?

do you believe in forever in a relationship?
and if so, what's your longterm plan then.

but if you dont believe in forever.
then how is ur partner going to trust ur faith in the relationship?
there's no foundation for anything at all.
and you cant possibly predict a 3 or 6 month thing.

suddenly,
everything seems a whole lot complicated.
and i'm not sure whether i can give all that i have in a relationship, hypothetically.
cos it is tied down by so many other things.

so just how much are you going to sacrifice?
and where do you draw the line?
it seems that some simply rush into relationships for the thrill
and when faced with the face of practicality (no pun intended)
it suddenly dawns on them that this wont work out.

so what is this?
a fling? frivolous fun?
doesnt it mean anything at all.

i'm not targeting anything or anyone,
since i didnt have anyone in particular in mind as i wrote this.

yeah,
we all say that 'all we need is love'.
true, 'love makes the world go round'.
(to some anyway)
i used to believe that 'love will keep us alive',
but how far can you stretch it?
does 'love over labels' truely exist?


aimless, pointless and completely useless.
its an attempt for a photo-less entry that makes me feel less like a whore.
excuses, i say.
