Love actually

It must be springtime here, because a lot of couples are blooming during this period. A couple of my friends are getting attached this past few days. Of course it's a good thing, because getting together means they'll have some happy times, which may or may not last due to a number of factors.

I mean, people my age generally aren't ready for a serious relationship. However, many of them do not realise it, or they do, but when they're in that relationship, and they try to get something better out of it, and when it doesn't work out, it devastates them. It's sad, really.

As I've been told, at this age, everything should be fun, and one should be having a ball of a time. This is the period when one doesn't have much (if at all) worries in life, so he should just enjoy. Even if one does get into a relationship and it doesn't work out, one still has a fufilling and long life in front of him. He'll have time to get another mate in the future.

And love. Do people my age actually know what romantic love is? Sure everybody experiences familial love, and possibly platonic love if they're lucky, but romantic love is quite different from either. To say you love somebody is a serious thing. People use it too lightly these days. I mean, 2 weeks into a relationship and one says 'I love you' to a partner? A little quick, don't you think?

Then again, who am I to say these things. Coming from a person who has absolutely no romantic history at all, my statements probably hold no ground.

However, I have experienced the heartbreaks of so many of my friends. I play somewhat of a Cupid, nuturing the relationships of others, and also when others go down, I play the wise man, dishing out advice and helping them make it through the troubled times.

I would say then, that I have extensive experiences from an outsider's point of view, and thus am good at judging relationships. In this case, do I have any credibility? It matters not to me. I only write what I feel, and that is the purpose of a blog.

In a perfect world, everything works out. Remember then people, that we do not live in a perfect world. The world is a cruel and difficult place. If you find something good, hold on to it.
