love's not about wanting...it's about waiting.
i'm saying this to certain individuals, who have confided in me their stories lately. sometimes when we sit down and think about it, things can become really complicated. and sometimes when we are in it, we feel so seemingly lost that we don't know our way out.

it's rather recently that i realised that love's not about wanting. very often, we hold onto our list of expectations and criterias so closely to our hearts. and we ask ourselves, why isn't the other party doing something about it? why isn't he caring for me? why isn't he showing me concern?especially when we do have a long queue of guys after us, we tend to adhere to our list and cross out those names whom we felt don't meet our criterias. just as we are ticking off our lists, guess what? the guys on the other end are doing the same. and at the end of the day, we found ourselves disillusioned by this whole thing.

sometimes love knocks on the door at unexpected moments. we don't plan and special people walk into our lives suddenly. girls flock into your life suddenly and you may not know how to handle this sudden flood of girls!! if so, what do we do? close your doors? close your eyes? well, love's about waiting. wait till you are ready, then go ahead with pursuing happiness. love's about being patient. love's about accepting the goods and bads of the significant other. love's about making things work. love's about growing closer in character perfection together. and love endures.

so with time, you'll find that special someone. and when he or she is here, you'll know. i think so.
