never give your “100%”…. when you love, leave some for yourself
time for a new entry, this one’s a lesson for everyone…
i love you with all my heart and soul
i love you more than anything in the world
i love you more than myself
i’d do anything for you, take you to the moon (and those kinda things that they say)
yup, they do sound a little romantic and there’s no harm in saying them… but those are just words, what’s scary is the emotional attachment… that’s the problem, alot of people lose sight of themselves when they’re inlove… they tend to give everything they got to please their loved one. they do everything they can to make it all right. they let their emotions get in the way of their heads. they don’t think anymore, they just feel. giving 100% of yourself to someone isn’t wrong until it becomes an obsession. and when things go south, then we have a problem.
imagine a girl in love. say for example they’ve been together 2 years. everything is cool. this girl gives everything to the guy, time, attention, care, love. this girl does everything in order to make the guy happy. spends holidays and vacations with the guy. she thinks about the guy all the time and she forgives anything he screws up. now, imagine… for example, for whatever reason the guy leaves the girl, for example he found someone else, "a new flavor" they call it. guy just got fed up, got up and left. what happens to girl then? that girl is in trouble. for someone who dedicated the best of her two years, someone who gave her all for two years, gave a 100% it wouldn’t be easy to let go, two years might sound a little soft, say for example they were together 5 years. she gave everything to that guy for 5 years. what happens then will look these…
girl can’t cope she’ll drink, girl can’t cope she can’t get over the fact that she was dumped, girl is in denial, girl will most likely regret she ever loved the guy to dump her just like that. girl gets angry at everyone, girl blames someone else, girl curses the new girl, girl will most likely seek revenge, egg his car, or egg the new girl’s car, or spraypaint the guy’s car with "ASSHOLE!" or the new girl’s car with "BITCH, YOU STOLE MY MAN!", it’s a bit funny when things like these happen, but it ain’t a laughing matter at all. the reason she does these things is because she loved the guy more than herself that she can’t control herself aymore, that she can’t reason with herself. it becomes her obsession. this things are a little childish but it happens. sometimes not just these childish things, sometimes the girl gets depressed, get detached, unable to make new relationships, unable to move on, becomes disinterested in love. girl thinks she’s always betrayed. girl can’t trust anymore. socially disabled. now that’s a sad picture.
i am not telling you not to give your 100% to your loved one, who am i to say such a thing. this is just one of the mysteries of love. you give a 100% and in return you are betrayed. but then how can you say you love a person without giving your 100% to them? now it gets confusing. for some reason i don’t believe that you can say you love a person without giving your 100%, it’ll be just an act, fake and untrue. so what can we learn about this 100% thing…
love is a leap of faith, like i said in my previous entry, you jump without knowing if the water is deep or shallow. you just never know what will happen. no guarantees. so i say this… it may be rational not to give everything you’ve got to a person, but for me… love with your 100%, even if you dont know how deep the water is. love with your 100% coz at the end of the day when that person leaves you behind, the rational thing to say now is "It’s your loss,not mine…Goodluck finding someone else like me" so here’s my anticlimax for the title i gave this thing… Go ahead and love with your 100%, give that person your everything coz in the end… it’s better to have loved and loss than never have loved at all… in the end you are blameless and blessed to get of a person who refused you… Go Ahead and Love With Everything You’ve Got.
ty for spending time
