I went to yet another wedding this weekend and before you even ask, yes, I went alone again you punks and it'll always be that way! The wedding was for my good friend from college (but knew him since 9th grade, maybe even earlier). I was honestly expecting the worst. It was a very Christian wedding so I thought it would turn into a long sermon and I'd have to sit there in the heat all dressed up in a suit (I hate dressing up). BUT it ended up being really short and I had an awesome time catching up with old college friends I hadn't seen since... well... college. It was nice to be greeted with smiles and hugs even after not seeing/speaking in such a long time.
Anyways, the point of this post isn't about catching up with old friends. It's no secret that I get pretty sentimental when it comes to certain things. I don't care if I cry watching some sappy ass movie or whatever so there were times during the wedding when I had to look away from certain "images" just to keep my composure. Then I thought to myself, why do these images or events make me feel this way when I don't even believe in love anymore? Well after some thought, the fact is, I don't believe in love FOR MYSELF, it doesn't mean I don't believe other people aren't capable of love. I always wish and want the best for couples I know and I hate hearing about breakups and divorces. So people, when I say I don't believe in love, please don't take it to mean I think you're stupid for being in a relationship and start giving me that evil eye...
Before I digress and ramble further, in honor of my good friend James and Leona's wedding:
"There are three stages.
1. Not loving and not being loved.
2. Loving and not being loved.
3. Loving and being loved.
Now, I tell you that the second stage is better than the first, but the third! That's it!"
- Vincent van Gogh
Congratulations on reaching stage 3 together. <3
what about not loving and being loved?
ReplyDeleteI think maybe it's not the RIGHT TIME for LOVE. Or maybe it's the wrong concept of love.
Well, not loving and being loved is still loving and not being loved for the other person so it's still stage 2?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE my friends, it's the right time and the right concept for that. The 'other love' that people focus on so much, I don't care for anymore. :)
Shekki. Thanks for the post. T.T
