irrational forever
feng n i are a couple. undoubtedly, as a couple, we fight/quarrel/go thru difficult times when conflicts/misunderstandings/unmet expectations occur. it is during such times that my mind wanders off to wish for better times or singlehood.
i am an escapist. illustrated clearly when i was toking to a used-to-be-close fren one day.
context: we were toking abt how horrid the following weeks will be due to countless assignments, tests, etc.
me: i wish time will stop.
she: i'm different from u. i wish it will quickly come n i can get over everything sooner.
i am glad that no matter how unhappy and tough some times were with feng, neither of us have given up or taken the cowardly way - escape. love is a willingness. both the happy and unpleasant times allow us to understand each other more and make us who we are as a couple. i guess besides the unforgetable sweet n happy memories, its the beauty of overcoming problems together, no matter how hard, that makes a relationship treasurable.
if i were rational, i wouldn't even have loved. which rational being will let herself fall in love knowing full well of the hurt that is to come? which rational being will love with all her heart knowing the odds of forever?
i am irrational. n will probably always be.
