When 'Love' is already in your hands, it depends on how you hold on to it...
19th May (our monthiversary) has passed by... so goes our 7 months of being-together'ness. We are going to keep on going strong & sweet! (I'm getting goosebumps for being so mushy...)
Well, we didn't celebrate much this time round, mainly due to our schedules. Charmaine has her attachment during the day, while yours truly here has training in the evening... so it can be quite hard to plan our time together, except for me occasionally joining her for lunch @ Tanjong Pagar.
Since we got together after what Ah Boon & I would like to call an "accelerated program", I must say Charmaine & I have had a smooth-sailing journey so far, with one major setback & very few minor setbacks... It is like finding "the One", that other-half who completes you in this world of strangers & 'love wanderers'. I need to say this, because there are many people who get into relationships knowing that they won't last, but keep going at it & end up in cuts & bruises. (You'll be surprised! Actually I was one of them in the past... =P ) There's no right or wrong, after all, it's just trying our best in making the relationship work out. If it doesn't, stay strong & move on. In other cases, people get into relationships for ulterior motives, maybe because the other party seems like such a good catch, a must-have or it seemed like the right thing to do at that point of time. In our case, we've already acknowledged each other as potential life partners... (Omg, I'm getting head over heels in this... still too early to be discussing this)
Anyway, I would like to say we have accepted each other for what we are - we can be ourselves in each other's company. We treat each other with respect even though we sometimes "bully" each other. We trust each other & we like to do things together. We are like long-lost best friends, and we will definitely treasure this "friendship" between us.
While many others take a lifetime in search for their partner, I am truly blessed to have found mine. We only got to know each other for like 2-3 months, but we sorta hit it off very well. And at the end of these 2-3 months, she accepted me & now, we are a happy couple. In any case, getting to become a couple is the easier part of the equation, staying together as a couple - that's the challenge. Just when you thought that you have come to the end of the bend, the road ahead is even longer... Have no doubts that it may be winding & bumpy, it's definitely not gonna be easy. Never take happiness for granted, it's meant to be cherished & maintained.
Actually I'm saying all these partly because one of my close friends has recently gotten attached with a girl. Also through an "accelerated program"... and as I had my doubts & fears in the beginning, I believe he too has these doubts & fears. We have fear that this will be a bubble effect... "Here one second, gone the next". Is she just looking for that piece of floating log to cling onto in that open sea filled with 'lost' and 'despair' & will get onto that rescue boat once it comes by? I had this worries too... My advice: don't let that fear drive you. If it does, it will consume you sooner or later. Let the reason of why you fell in love with her in the first place, drive you. She accepted you, didn't she? She didn't reject you, so it can't be that bad a scenario. Now, it's just a matter of proving to her that she made the right choice. Be that piece of floating log she wants to cling onto for the rest of her life, & bring her to shore. How? Through your words & actions, that's how... From that, she will be able to sense your feelings for her, & it will reinforce, reassure her feelings for you...
It might be mindless ranting to some... but to that friend - Keep it up, place your faith in God. You have already taken the first step to finding your true happiness, so keep going at it. =)
