"You don’t have to give it all away."
Ironic how life lets you have it all, then later, it takes everything back from you. If I were life, heck, it would be like literally stealing candy from a baby. That’s why there’s a saying that goes: “you’ll never know the value of something, unless you lose it, until it’s too late”. Sorry for the long intro.
Anyway, tonight is the night that I've realized that “you don’t have to give it all away” to a person, especially a person you want to impress just because you like them. And in the spotlight is the person you have an infatuation with, a fling or anything related.
Although specifically in tonight’s case, when you like them, you think that you love them, which I think is blinding, because you believe in this fictitious image that you've painted in your head, that you live in a perfect world where you reciprocate each others emotional needs. Which, don’t get me wrong, I admit, that I, we like these feelings of reciprocation especially when its the positive kind. But the thing is, you yourself need to see that this is just a picture, you don’t really know what move your “significant other” (at the moment) would pull. You won’t know, there aren't any assurances that he or she would positively or negatively reciprocate your emotional needs.
We might say cheesy lines like, "you're my everything" or something like "I can be your everything" is just wrong because first of all, God should be your everything. Second, when you would be their everything, d'you think that you could be all that, like what would be left of you then? What'd you leave for yourself to be their everything?
"You don’t have to give it all away in your present relationship with a person, in a sense that you should cut yourself some slack, that’ll show self-love, and self-love in a way that it might sound selfish but no, it only shows that you respect yourself more, that you love you, you like you.
But this also applies to a lot, other than relationships. And this might seem off the beaten track from my re-blogging rage, but these are just my thoughts. Thoughts that have been arguments in my head, I don;t even know why.haha!
Any who, I don’t know if I've made any sense, but owell. I hope you get my point, I just wanted to blurt out my thoughts because it’s hindering me from getting sweet slumber. And if I’ve stirred up any reactions from this, may it be negative or positive, please let me know so we can either stir up a debate or not.haha, kidding! ;] Thankies!
