.. of Romance as Bread.
Have you ever wondered, why people say love is blind? Or is it not? In my opinion, I think love is blind in certain ways, such as overlooking a person’s bad habits. But overlooking romance as the ultimate source of life? I have a story to tell. A story where an innocent girl fell in love at a young age and then falls deep into tragedy, willingly.
Being the youngest of the family, she is sort of the spoilt one, because whatever she want, most of the time it would arrive in her hands. And there goes, of the story of a spoiled girl. Not very good in her studies, she struggles in the science stream. Feeling intimated my her classmates, she began to mix around a wrong group of friends. Love is in the air. Girl likes boy, but boy doesn’t like girl. Her self esteem was lower than the deepest trench of the dead sea. And maybe, thats the reason how she ended up in this not-supposed-to-happen love, a love that brings no future, gives no permission and is constantly being challenged. But she stayed true to this love, because for her, she got nothing left, no confidence, no studies, no future…and she only got this guy who suffer similarly, probably worse.
The warm house that she used to have, she rather throw it away.
The closeness of family love, she prefer not to have it.
The future that still shine lightly for her, she rather give it up and join the guy into a future-less world where everything is uncertain.
Without families, home and education, where can she go with only one thing on her back; love?
Can love bring a person to life? Can love give you money? Can love satisfy you future family’s needs? Can love rule everything? The problem is, how long can this love last? When this love ends, what is left? She had been told of all these by her parents, but she choose to ignore these because her love told her to ignore everyone. Her romance, is her bread. Her romance gave her food, and she believes that it will provide her food forever.
From my understanding of love, it is mutual caring. Love and life is a separate thing that can be joined together and shall have their own boundaries, each being mutually exclusive. God gave you life and asks you to love. And yes, you live your life and love. One day, your love is gone. But you continue your life and find a new love. You don’t end your life. This concept tells us that we have to live a proper life, around families and friends, having a job, having doggies around, enjoying sports and at the same time, sharing love. It isn’t giving up everything just so love could exist.
Just a piece of advice from the Bible. God always comes first. Secondly comes parents, thirdly come siblings and fourthly comes romance. After marriage, then the rule change. God still comes first, and your partner will come second, because marriage brings 2 individuals together and it is by this vow that made them into one infront of God’s eyes.
A beginning of a tragic love story, I sincerely wish this girl the best of luck.
Tell me the difference between a good and a bad romance. x
