Expiry Date
Every food substances have an expiry date.
But do love expired as well?
Looking back, it feels like the people I met along the way has an expiry date invisibly attached on them.
Some expired as short as weeks, while some expired in months or years.
And the funny thing is, we just never know when is the last time somebody will participate in our life.
When somebody decides that they no longer want to put effort in continuing a relationship or friendship, when life just happened that people lost in contact, or somebody move to another place, etc... these are things that is beyond our control hence there’s no specific formula to calculate the success rate of a relationship.
You see, risk is what it takes it all.
We take risk in knowing somebody deeper, allowing them into our personal space, being vulnerable and gamble if he/she could be the one.
But we often forget that, the other party might not be certain - and this... is the part where people make decision to continue or to stop, the gamble comes in.
People get tired of people over time, I guess.
And all everybody want is just somebody who won't get tired of them no matter how long or how cliche.
Simply said, somebody who won’t give up because love isn’t just simply a feeling but a choice.
Just somebody who still chooses us even after seeing the unattractive and messy part, and that it feels like home.
Being vulnerable to somebody you love is not weakness but strength.
But also - vulnerability is so raw that you’re open to wounds.
How irony, at least to me.
Some say when you meet the right one, he or she will never get tired of you.
And I’m just looking for one who doesn’t have an expiry date attached on them.
