Neil Gaiman on Love
i found one of my old drawings and decided to post it here. And it kinda reminded me of Neil Gaiman's thoughts on love. This is an interesting read."Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love."

i can sense bitterness. and that's not good.
or maybe... im too much of an optimist? who cares. i think optimism is better than pessimism. especially on a love case. hehehe

im optimist too. pero i cant find any better words to explain how it feels when ur heartbroken. i just love how he said it but it's not what i feel completely :)
optimism is the best. i kinda lose it sometimes due to unforeseen circumstances, pero i think im going back to optimism. since optimism is me :)
