Happy Hearts Day

48 minutes before Veeday, as I am making this post. Last year my ode to this day of heats was a list of the love songs of my life. I can't think of a new and slightly original love related entry for 2007. No significant diff from February 14, 2007. On the radio, most surveys are around one's first love, memorable experiences, messages to loved ones.

For 2008, I will just share a few of my random love thoughts. I'm no Guru of Love, unlike Yssang. But I'm pretty flattered that a lof of my friends are pretty comfortable with sharing their love woes and thoughts with me. And although I've never really been in a relationship, I think my own sentiments are pretty sound. Thanks to the colorful tapestry of my friends and relatives' love lives.

** More recently, I kinda get to thinking about moving on and letting go. Why is it harder for others? Actually, why is it hard in the first place? I was able to relate this with how guys think. Typically, in their minds, it's just black or white. The confusion lies in the gray area. The gray area solicits more questions and doubts. The gray area muddles the real picture. So, perhaps to move on, one should see the situation in black or white alone. Irregardless of all the reasonable excuses, there's only one bottomline, and it's black or white. In asking more questions and in endless wondering (and wandering), one stays put, instead of moving forward.

** Most of the time, all you need is time. You can never force yourself to be ready, when you clearly aren't. So, to those mending a broken heart, perhaps you just need to feel it. Experience the pain. Cut yourself some slack. Don't me mad at yourself for not being ready to move on. However, three years of pining over someone is clearly too long a time.
