Little things vol. 2
YOUR FATE IS NOT MINEEverytime I visit a friend's family whenever there's a birthday, I am always asked why I am not like most.. (that is, getting married and shit like that). Being the tolerant person that I am, I always just grin and tell them I don't feel like it just yet.. (these people have single daughters bordering 30)
(at some microsecond moment, I imagine grabbing the nearest chair and slamming it into the face of whoever who asks me that)
Older people are so nosy..
MARKETING
From the words of my friend:
Love is like marketing.. it's about picking who's the "better deal".
This came from a girl, mind you.
This is one of the important lessons you have to learn in life. People will always look for something in a person, and if they don't have THAT, they won't spend the rest of their lives with you, much less like you.
Which is why my friend is (still) single. She MIGHT remain single until her teeth will fall off, if she keeps on thinking like this however. Well that's not my concern anymore. I just like writing about it to voice her out.
For my part (i'm going to be saddistic), I sometimes chide when people who have super idealistic shit fall flat on their face. I'm idealistic too, but not enough to lose my head over something that's impossible.
THOUGHTFULNESS
Do you know that a simple "hi" over the sms airwave can cure a week's worth of depression compared to a forwarded message? For fuck's sake, email has been taken for granted to the point that people are too lazy to make even one-liner messages. Trust me, it's really simple -- try sending some person a personalized non-forwarded message. It makes you and the receiver feel better.
