A Little Girl's Note: It's when you're not looking that you find.
Don't you think it's strange that it's when you're not looking that you suddenly find what you're looking for? This happens to me often. I lose something, look for it, and not find it. Then suddenly, it appears out of nowhere like magic! Just recently, I lost my earphones. I could've sworn I looked every freakin' where. That's what I thought. I lost hope that I'd ever find it. Then I did find it! After a week or so of not looking for it. It was with me all along. Inside my bag's pocket. The one I'd carry with me everywhere, everyday. And I thought I looked everywhere. And yeah, you're probably like, "Wow! *sarcasm* So what? It's nothing but earphones. What's your point? Get to the point!" But that's what happens. It happens often. Who would've thought it has something to do with life and love... I think about the times when I lose and not find, not look and suddenly find. And it reminds me that it is no different with life and love. We often do things in vain. We often chase cars. We often forget to be still. Being still doesn't mean we just gotta be idle. No. It simply means we must pause, not rush things. Love works like magic. It does things you cannot imagine. It does things you do not expect. It does things that make your eyes sparkle. It makes fireworks out of a blanket. And all that happens when you least expect it. We need not be desperate. We need not be a princess (or prince) looking for her prince charming (or his cinderella). Fairytales are fairytales. In our waking lives, we ought to know that a missing glass shoe won't make such a difference. We ought to differentiate fantasy from reality. I know some who are obsessed with finding someone they could call The One just for the sake of it, do extraordinary things, and get heartbroken in the end. Frustrated, even. I believe in fate. And I don't mean we should stop havin' fun. We must keep havin' fun! But havin' fun only happens when we got the right motives. Don't mistake havin' fun for bein' a player and turning love into a game. Love is not a game. It is a gift. No one has to lose. Only learn. So take that out of your mind. Love is a game only for those who don't take love seriously. And won't get serious love in return. By havin' fun, I mean bein' friends with the opposite sex, getting to know what fun is, together. Just being with that person and loving the moment. Motives shouldn't involve "to get him/her as my girl/boyfriend for the sake of it", "to get laid", "to play him/her", "to boost my ego"... If one day you find yourself liking that person and then falling in love, good. Cupid must've done something right. That's when you pursue her. That's when you let him keep your heart as his own. That's when you call yourselves romantically in love. But that just happens. Love happens. It just happens. Cupid does his thing. We need not steal his bow and arrow. Just wait to be stabbed by Love! Why stab yourself with the wrong arrow? Love love. Just love! Don't love only so that you'll "double" the chances of finding The One. You will. Love for love's sake only. Love is not all about romance. Love involves so much more! Love is all around us. Love your passion (eg. music), your God, your family, your friends, your lovers, your crushes, your country, your faves, your world, your own Wonderland, yourself! Doesn't matter what gender, what age, what race, what religion, whatever! JUST LOVE! No selfish motives needed. We were meant to live and love. So spend time loving yourself and others. Spend time loving what you know you love. Don't waste time chasing cars. Spend time havin' fun. Love is every freakin' where. Embrace it! There is no law that says "Love only romantically." There's no reason to be desperate. No reason to make things complicated. It's when you're not looking that you find. Love the moment of just bein' there with the person who means a lot to you. Don't keep yourself from loving. Be a human BEing. Love. Just love.
Now maybe I wasted your time. I don't know if what I said made sense. Who knows? I might be wrong. I just wrote this to remind myself of my thoughts. Thoughts that might matter, and might not. But I want this and don't care if you don't. I do what I want. So I'm doing this. If it didn't make sense at all, I don't apologize. I'm a little girl whose mind wanders in another world called Wonderland. I'm a little girl who may or may not make sense. And I like that about myself. Yeah, I'm twisted. And I like it. Don't say I didn't warn ya!
If it did make sense? Then I guess risks are worth taking. ;)
Love,
ANDREA
