Should I believe? - Extracted from a friend's blog -
In life, it doesn't matter who you are, but whether someone appreciates you for what you are, accepts you and loves you unconditionally. A REAL hubby or wife is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out. To respect and share, to forget oneself and care wholeheartedly for the other, and most of all, to go the extra mile for the other if you have to without whining or complains.
Everybody is looking for that special someone; the other half who is lost since birth, only to be found so one can be a whole again. It's not easy to find someone who truly loves you for who you are, seeing what others don't see in you, caring wholeheartedly for you without wanting anything in return. Though I don't believe in love nor marriages anymore, I might have a change of heart if someone like this really exist and is willing to go all out to make me believe that it's worth taking the risk to fall in love again.
Was talking to a close gal friend about marriage. She told me that she will want to get married if the right guy comes along. But for me, I do not believe, or rather I've already lost faith in love. Only a few close friends know what shit I've been through.
I digress. Let's not go into that.
It seems like a norm that marriage is a must in life. I disagree. Maybe because I've already lost faith in love. Maybe I've seen too much unhappy marriages. Or simply because I don't want to be tied down by a marriage certificate.
Call me selfish but let's face it. Lost freedom, responsibilities and commitment, all these come along with the marriage certificate. It's too much a burden. The promises and vows will mean nothing if they can't be kept. Marriage is like a gamble. It's whether you are willing to take the risk.
Maybe I haven't met The person who can really convince me to change my belief. Maybe I will, if I'm willing to take the first step.
