"But if you want to leave, you can. I'll remember you, though...I remember everyone that leaves"

I've never understood how it feels when someone leaves, until this day. Yet, I would have to face it soon and it's not something I fancy experiencing. Expect the unexpected, they say, but who knew this day would come so soon. The day in which I dread, even in my dreams. But, there are times in which I long for it to happen, longing to give it all up and just let go. I would've admitted that I've lost if I could, who knew I would lose in a game that I created in my mind? Who knew...? Even if you don't love a person, it still hurts to see them walk away and I'll never be able to comprehend that heartbreak. If only I have a heart made out of metal and a soul that's cold as ice, yeah, perhaps I should get it in done A.S.A.P. Judging the current level of technology, it shouldn't be much of a problem right? I guess not, or probably I should get busy, doing things that don't matter just to get my mind of things that shouldn't matter. Goodnight.

"Burnt lungs, sour taste"

Have you heard of a song named "The A-team" by Ed Sheeran? It's a nice song with a decent rhythm and yet it holds a deep, dark meaning hidden in between lines. It's mainly about a girl that is addicted to class A drugs and she does anything she could to get her hands on drugs. I believe that's her only way to escape reality, a short getaway from the cold world we live in. And as she turn to these artificial manner of temporary happiness, she walks along the path of self destruction without regrets of any sort for she has lost her will to stay alive and she just creeps by, day by day. I guess this song would describe my life to a certain degree after replacing the class A drugs with cigarettes. Some people enjoy smoking, some smoke due to the addiction to nicotine and there's some others that smoke for the fun of it. But I don't belong to any of the above for I smoke as an act of self destruction with hopes that each stick I take would take my life away, bit by bit, till I wither and die a lonely, ugly death. And don't get me wrong, I'm not addicted to nicotine at all, I can live on without smoking for a long period of time and I wouldn't feel a thing. Some friends of mine often bombard me with questions like , "Why would you want to die so badly?" "Why do you have these negative thoughts running in your mind?" Well, I don't necessarily seek death that badly, just that I'm not that keen on keeping my life either. I believe that if I were to die, I would. What's there to look forward to in life? It's just another rat race and people run around circles, never knowing their purpose in life. Maybe deep down, I'm just waiting for someone to save me from my old ways but no one ever did and I don't think anyone would.

To be honest, I don't think anyone sane would fall for a freak like me.
Likewise , I don't think I have the capability to fall for anyone.
It's like, I shouldn't even have the thought of being in a relationship with anyone .
I don't think I deserve anyone for I'm such a mess , such a wreck from inside out.
I demand such high expectation from someone that I think I might just suffocate them .
But who am I to have such expectations? I'm never good enough for anyone.
Why would anyone pick me amidst everyone else who has better looks , better personality?
I guess I'm just frustrated , frustrated at the fact that if I fall for anyone , no one would be there to catch me , and I don't think I'll be able to tank such pain . Someone just shoot me dead , please .

"This one's for the happiness that I'll be wishing you forever."

Holla there!
I guess it's about time for my emotional ramblings once again .
This post would be solely about my unpopular , two cents worth opinion towards 'love' .
And by the 'love' I'm referring to in this context is the romantic "love" that exist on earth , the type that Hollywood movies exist to instill a global mindset of what 'romantic love' is.
"Love", i don't think there's an actual definition to what it is. It could be a warm fuzzy feeling to someone , or perhaps a burden to another .
You see, being in love is just a state of mind we believe in when we feel a new wave of feelings overwhelming you, taking over and you're willing to do anything to keep the same feeling ablaze.
So by putting "Godly" love aside , cause I actually do believe God is up there somewhere , watching over me with His perfect love and any further arguments put forward would be rendered invalid (Actually that sounded a little bit too cheezy for comfort, right? Ha.Ha) , I'll start off with reasons on why I think love sucks .

1. Love makes you vulnerable .
In order to maintain a good relationship , you have to tolerate each other to a great length . You would have to change your age old perception towards something in order to love another . As an example , you would have to change your believes towards something in order to fit in with your other half . And I believe that in the process of doing so , you'll slowly shred the walls you've built up around you for years , exposing your vulnerable self to someone you "love" , making it easier for the person you love to harm you .

2. Love brings up attachment and higher expectations .
The longer you are in a relationship , the more attached you will be with each other . You would have to face the agony of waiting for a text or a call from your the person you love . And by waiting, you'll start to doubt yourself with unnecessary questions like , "Has he/she fallen for another?" "Is he/she talking to someone else?" "Am I not important enough to receive a good morning text?" "Am I being ignored?" and so on. And the pain that comes after detachment hurts way worse than that . Apart from that , you'll expect more from your partner , but the higher the expectation, the higher the fall. You'll probably expect to receive at least a text or a call everyday but if he/she doesn't do so, you'll be disappointed , which therefore leads to sadness .

3. Love is uncertain and it hurts .
How sure are you that the love you have for someone would last a long time ? How sure can you be that you'll never get bored of being with the same person? This proves how uncertain love can be as nothing last forever . And as you watch your partner fall for someone else , all that's left is history . Apart from that , love hurts when a couple is not willing to break off a relationship that has withered long ago cause they believe that they might harm their other half by breaking it off and they would rather suffer silently .

And contrary to what I've just blogged about , I do believe in true love and that love is capable to change someone for good . But, what are the chances of finding your true love? To quote "The Only Exception" ,
"Maybe I know somewhere , deep in my soul that love never last
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone or keep a straight face
Up until now I've sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness."

I've sworn to myself that I'm content with loneliness...
