Yes this might be another emo post of mine. Perhaps i had a bit too much to drink awhile ago. Drinking never seems to bring me much joy nowadays. Looking at my friends settling down sometimes makes me wonder where have the old me went to. Like most normal people i used to fantasize about settling down with the love of my life, own a love nest of our own and perhaps have a few kids... go for a holiday whenever the school holidays arrive. Like what my dad used to do. But i guess all these so called ambitions had already gone with the wind after one unforgivable decision i made about a year plus ago.
Although i have been told by my close friends that if i want it back bad enough, all i had to do is to take the first step... but instead of doing that i decided to just go for any random relationship i can land myself in. And end up hurting the other party after i realized that things are just not the same. My friend told me that the greatest mistake i made a year plus ago was not the fact that i was seeing somebody else behind my girl's back but the fact that i was too honest. He said i could have just calm myself down and perhaps then i can make a decision more rationally. Instead of pursuing something which was just a fantasy of a late loved one... Yeah i can be such a fool sometimes... correction... most of the time...
Anyway it's pretty depressing to learn about all the bad things that are happening to some of my friend's marriage. Cheating seems to be the latest trend in my social circle. I seen couples whom i think were perfect together, filing for divorce as either party was cheating behind the party's back. Or friends having an affair with married man/woman, either married or not married themselves. i do see my future wife cheating behind my back if i ever get married. Karma my friend is a real deal for people like me. Karma as in retribution and not your primary school indian classmate. Or am i thinking too much? Whatever it is, marriage is pretty different compare to my parent's time. Divorce or having an affair seems to be the best escape to a dying relationship whereas during my parents days there was such a thing call compromise. They may not see eye to eye on certain things but at the end of the day they will always try to compromise.
But on a happy note, i do have friends who are happily married. Knowing their existence makes me feel that marriage can't be all that bad. There's bound to be some happiness in it. Like a coin, there's always two side of a story.
Whatever it is... i still believe that one day someday if i can or if i may, i will return to the place where the sun sets and perhaps face my destiny once more. But... there's always a chance which i will never get to do that... Well who knows what the future holds...
Good night people... or rather good morning...
Before i end this...
When you decide to give up on a relationship, give yourself 30 seconds to think back on the reasons why you got into the relationship in the first place...
My biggest mistake was that i failed to give myself 30 seconds to think...
