My question is answered.
"Love is not love when it alteration finds"
this is not love.

We all need heart-to-heart talks at one point or another of our lives.
it is such a basic need..
but yet, so hard to be fulfilled.
being able to talk to anyone and everyone about anything isn't such a big deal.
but you can really give yourself a pat on the back when you haf succeeded in getting someone to open up and share about their personal life.
this is really no small feat because a person who has bared his/her life is vulnerable to the other who has the information.
so trust and love needs to be in the picture first before any heart-to-heart talks can take place.
i've been in too many conversations tt revolve around the weather, animals, food, sports, music with endless jokes.
sometimes, i wonder..
why do we focus so much attention on the things around us.
sure, they matter as well but wat about the issues on the inside?
why are they so often left unspoken?
i'm glad tt my cg has moved on to another level of friendship.
at least among the sisters, we haf started to share more abt our family, relationships, work, and other issues.
really miss talking to den, ting, joa, joyce, silin & even xw.
we may be a little distant now and in different seasons of our lives..
and though the initial awkardness may exist for a while,
i know once we haf warmed up again to each other,
it will not be a problem talking abt the things tt matter.

"’I love you‘ means that I accept you for the person that you are, and that I do not wish to change you into someone else. It means that I will love you and stand by you even through the worst of times. It means loving you even when you’re in a bad mood, or too tired to do the things I want to do. It means loving you when you’re down, not just when you’re fun to be with. ‘I love you’ means that I know your deepest secrets and do not judge you for them, asking in return that you do not judge me for mine. It means that I care enough to fight for what we have and that I love you enough not to let go. It means thinking of you, dreaming of you, wanting and needing you constantly, and hoping you feel the same way for me."
i had shamelessly ripped this off a friend's blog.
it depicts a love tt is so beautiful.
my thought life has been a mess this past week.
thoughts like:
is it possible to find a love as pure as what Corinthians 13 describes.
are you loving your partner if you place your own interest above him/her?
can a person really change and stay changed?
and so much more..
i feel worse trying to pen everything down so i'll just stop.
at least, i know from the extract above that selfless love still exists in this world, among fallen people.
