I got bored... good thing my cellphone has an FM radio so I plugged my headset and surfed the channels. While searching for a worth-listening-to station, I chanced on Magic 89.9. It was Sam Oh's segment with Guru something and two other guy DJs. They were teasing Sam Oh and Guru that they're a perfect match no matter how much Sam hates Guru. Moving forward, someone wrote Guru a letter asking for some "love" advice. Here's the situation: Girl has fallen in-love with the best friend of her ex-lover. Now she's torn on whether to pursue this guy or not considering that she has broken up with Mr. Ex for a year already. Guru's advice: RESPECT is the main issue in this situation. Sometimes there are boundaries in love and if you know how to respect the feelings of others, then DO NOT EVER CROSS boundaries. Mr. New Guy is the "best friend" of Mr. Ex. Even if Mr. Ex tells everyone that everything's over between him and Girl, it doesn't mean that it's okay. Some feelings are harboured inside. One of the parties will still get hurt. Mr. New Guy must also refrain from crossing the boundary if it's FRIENDSHIP that's at risk. As simple as that... Guru was able to explain the RULES OF FRIENDSHIP. Hmmm... which reminded me of a very familiar situation between this guy and what's-her-name. The only difference is, the guys involved aren't just best friends! They're first cousins. Now, imagine their relationship as cousins ruined because of a girl. Tsk... tsk... Well, it seems that the other guy doesn't know the real meaning of "blood is thicker than water." Then I began thinking, this won't just involve three people! Since the guys are relatives, this could also cause a rift between families. Or maybe, both families of guys may not approve of the "girl" who caused this "falling out". Why? Mainly because the girl who should've set the boundaries crossed the line herself! Right now, I don't believe in "you and me against the world" thing. It just strengthens the heart-over-mind matter. Because when you love, never stick only to what your heart feels. Remember that sometimes, using your BRAIN is a necessity. Don't be scared of letting go. Keeping a relationship that was founded by lies, vulnerability, despair, or even just the idea of being in-love is a WASTE OF TIME. Love the one who will fight for you and bravely face each and every consequence. Someone whom you can call "MINE" rather than "IDEAL". Someone whom you can be really PROUD OF. |
