take a shot for bliss

Last night, MMK featured a typical rich-girl-poor-boy love story played by Anne Curtis and Zanjoe. Although Zanjoe sucked, Anne Curtis nailed her character brilliantly which led to the episode’s success. I cried when Anne Curtis cried. Yep, I was totally carried away by the drama.

Watching this though led me to think of the reality: love stories like this seldom work out in the end. These kind of love story doesn’t always end up “happily ever after”. Eventually the couple would split because of their differences in social status. Its either parents would intervene or one of the couple would give up on the relationship because of the stress put upon by their differences. Yes, a relationship of two opposite people would work; but it’s also very tiring, so why not just find a more suitable match for you and leave all those “hardships” behind? The relationship is temporary anyway, so why do you have to endure the stress? All in all, it’s absolutely impractical to stay in this kind of relationship.

Now, my question is this: Is it worth it to try in this kind of relationship where the other one is just super rich while the other one is just plain poor? I wouldn’t know what to do if I was in that situation. Knowing myself, I would probably go coward and close myself of any romantic feelings to prevent life’s complications. But still, I do hope that I would be courageous enough to risk a heartbreak for my feelings because even if we delude oursleves, we eventually have to face that life is short. Getting hurt is part of life’s beauty.

We have to remember that in those bittersweet moments with your love. He/She was able to give you that unique joy that only a loved one could give. If ever the relationship ends up to nothing, don’t sigh because of the supposed wasted time and effort you put upon the relationship because in reality, nothing was wasted. In that span of time, you were able to grow into a stronger and more beautiful person that you were before. That person has become a part of you and IT is because of him/her that you were able to realize the uniqueness of various aspects in life. Music isn’t just for relaxation. It is also for expressing the pent up emotions inside of you. Rain isn’t just a nuisance for commuting. It is a sign of the playful child inside of you who has no nuance of getting sick in the rain. Everything takes up a different perspective.

Indeed, we have to live in the moment. Carpe Diem.
