(Issue 27) Opening the Heart to Uncertainties

There are many moments we feel so hurt and at many times we no longer wish to open our vulnerable hearts to the harsh world. But it is always during these moments, love comes to us without warning. Was it a signal we send out, a signal that reads "we need care and concern"? Or were we delusional to take every care and concern from a concern friend/stranger into love/courtship?

I guess it is the fear of loneliness, the desire to be love and the selfishness to start a new relation just to forget the past, that makes us open our heart to a new guy. Could these 'rebound' relationship last? How long should we wait before opening our hearts?

I had this situation, but this is only my side of the story. There was someone who might had waited long enough and decided to brave the world again to open his heart, however I shut the doors, not because there wasn't a connection between us (in fact the connection was mighty strong) but the reason to my actions was that I foresee a possible big obstacle we would not be able to overcome. It was a major obstacle to me because my previous relation ended due to it, LDR.

Regardless of the pursuit, I told him my stand of LDR, a strong foundation. It is because I learned that to be separate for months without physical contact, trust and many other factors are required. I did not want him to open his heart to get hurt. However, I may have forgotten that the heart was already open and feelings had been put in.

There is also part two, where I was in a situation instead. Regardless, we were left speechless, maybe because we were unsure who was the hurting party. To me, it is no longer important. The most important thing for me now is to know that he is doing fine and not close himself behind the doors I slammed in his face.

☆◎☆ "Even if much restrain was acted, i realised that a certain of you still lingers inside me. Sometimes i would wonder where you have been and what you have done. More than anything else, i wonder if you are happy or sad. But i know things will never be the same again, and i will never bring myself to ever ask you." ☆◎☆

When we prepare ourselves to brave the world and open our hearts, should we be prepare to accept rejects? Will it make us reluctant to open our hearts again and give up hope on love? I believe no matter when we are in love or dump there are bound to be moments when our hearts hurts, yet our roads are still long and distant, therefore we have to learn to embrace and move on, instead of lingering over something or someone and wish for a miracle. Be ready to open your heart always, because sometimes the best and the most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, cannot be touched, but can be felt in the heart.

Coming to terms with (confused) Me, (Stop, Look, Listen, not to listen 100% to my friends or) Myself(, but to my heart) and I (am Sorry).

Singing in the rain to: Toni Braxton & Michael McDonald - Stop, Look and Listen (to your heart)
You're alone all the time, Does it ever puzzle you, did you ask why
You seem to fall in love, and out again, Do you ever really love or just pretend
Oh, baby why fool yourself, Don't be afraid to help yourself
It's never too late, too late to Stop, look, Listen to your heart, hear what it's saying.


Though you try, you can't hide, All the things you really feel, this time decide
That you will open up, and let it in There's no shame in sharing love you feel within
So darling, just jump right in Head over heels, and fall right in
'Cause it's never too late too late to Stop, look, And listen to your heart, hear what it's saying




Dedicated to the special someone, who will always has a place in my heart. Guess we choose the wrong theme song, due to our poor Chinese. Smiles. No matter what happens, we shall walk on to live on. 周杰伦 - 搁浅

久未放晴的天空, 依旧留着你的笑容, 哭过却无法掩埋歉疚
风筝在阴天搁浅,想念还在等待救援, 我拉着线复习你给的温柔
暴晒在一旁的寂寞, 笑我给不起承诺, 怎么会怎么会你竟原谅了我

我只能永远读着对白, 读着我给你的伤害
我原谅不了我, 就请你当作我已不在
我睁开双眼看着空白, 忘记你对我的期待
读完了依赖, 我很快就离开


Translation: Run Aground - "The sky that hasn't cleared up for a while, As usual retains your smile, Cried before Yet no way to bury guilt.
The kite has run aground in the overcast sky, Missing you, still waiting to be saved I'm pulling the string, Reviewing the tenderness you gave
Loneliness that is insolating, Laughing at me for not being able to give a promise
How come, how come, You unexpectedly forgave me.

I can only forever be reading the lines, Reading the hurt I gave you
I cannot forgive myself, Then ask you to regard that I'm already not here
I open my eyes, Looking at the empty space, Forget the expectation you had towards me
Finished reading dependency, I will leave very soon."
