Love: Why Can't Let Go?

"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close."
Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets

Love: Why Can't Let Go?

"There's so many fishes in the sea." "Why can't you let go him/her if he/she doesn't love you anyway?" "You're a martyr, even though for how many times you failed in love, you can't still stop loving somebody."

Ever heard so many lines like this? It's very ironic right? We love, we get hurt and love again. That's the cycle.

Lately, I just realized that people can't easily let go of what they love because they are already drawn by their presence - that if it will be completely gone they gone insane and depressed.

If you truly love someone, you get blinded. You don't mind their flaws or negative traits, you just love them simply because you were attracted. And if you're really into them, if you love so hard, you can't get out as if you were trapped.

Even if it's one-sided, even if that someone doesn't love you the way you love them - still you can't stop on loving them either. Until such time when your feelings gets decreased and decreased until you felt tired, that's the time you'll slowly let go.

Am I right, right?

So folks, you really can't control the feelings of love. You can't easily get out of it if you love someone so hard. But if everything is out of your control, just let time heal all your wounds. It's the nature of love, that no matter how look into it - it's all the same. Just take it easy, and love happily.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
