I took the road less traveled by, and got lost.

It is this feeling...

... that I have right now, that makes me think that not having someone to be in love with, isn't so bad after all.

I guess maybe because I've been spending too much time by myself, that's why I suddenly feel sick of being alone, or maybe because I haven't found enough moments like this in the past months, years...

But what I read from my friend's blog, just puts my feelings to shame. Somehow, knowing that someone is in love, and in a really good way, without all the trivialities, commercial-ness and superficialities that other people put into it, knowing that someone has found it, or has yet again, felt the real thing... It gives me genuine happiness, because right now, I don't feel envious or sad about how I'm not in love, or how, the feelings I think I have don't amount to anything compared to those of the people who feel so much that they get to put their feelings into words, and come up with brilliant and inspiring stories, songs, or whatever else they can make with their talent.

I haven't really been writing anything that makes a lot of sense lately, and perhaps it's because I'm a little devoid of feeling, despite the so-called claims and accusations of my friends that I'm in love. Now I'm confused as to what to think about this feeling I have.

What does it matter if you figure out whether you're in love or not? It's not like you can change how you feel. What if you suddenly realize that you're not really in love? Will you be able to stop your heart from pounding faster because you think your feelings just aren't as intense as those of most other people who are in love? I've long since realized that love has no standards, no rules, and what you feel are just that--your feelings, so you can deal with them in any way you want, despite what other people, psychology experts and friends alike, say. And yet... Somehow... from reading a part of my friend's blog entry and seeing his description of love as this really big thing, I feel as though something is missing from my emotions.

Certainly, I feel different whenever a certain person is around. But is it as different as the grandeur feeling of love? Or am I yet again, just reading too much into little things, clinging on to something that isn't there, simply because I haven't found anything new, or better, to cling to? But then, it's not as if I like him even less than I used to. I still feel giddy, and somewhat uneasy, but in a good way, whenever I think of him, except, I don't think it's as much as I could feel. But if it isn't, then does that mean that he's really not the person I thought he was to me? Does this mean that I actually feel even less for him, than I originally thought or made myself believe?

Love doesn't have to be like anything, I know. It's not absolute, and there's no criteria for it. And I guess it really wouldn't matter whether you can confirm or not if you're in love. But somehow, I get to thinking about myself and my emotions, which just don't seem strong enough. Have the walls I've built using my cynicism, hopelessness, inferiority complex and pessimistic views, to protect myself from pain, really been built that thick? And all this time, I thought I wasn't really building walls, and just putting up this front that I was. Although, I noticed that lately, it's also been harder for me to cry. Has my wanting-to-be-tough-exterior really worked and so well, that it's seeped into my interior? Or is he really just not the one? Scratch that, I know he's not. I just, never thought that my normally stubborn mind might actually consider that he really isn't.

I still like him, that's for sure. But there are times that I feel like this... happy... and, in love, but not with him. Not with anyone.

aw.... i believe that we're on the same boat. i too am feeling that way, doubting myself, building walls around myself, having tons of insecurities, etc, etc... i too am comforting myself with the usual "dadating din yan" attitude as well as the "there's always someone for everyone" saying.

sometimes the things and memories that we try our best to hide deep within our minds re-surface and pull us down into depression and misery. also, sometimes we try to expect too much from someone to give you something that you have been longing, what it is and how long have you been searching will only be yours to answer.

anyway, i do hope that you'll go through this "watcha-ma-call-it" phase so when you look back you'll just laugh at yourself

^_^

daan ka na lang sa blog ko para matawa ka naman :P masyado ka ata "tsiryus!"

We look forward to the future that much that we feel happy/sad/whatsoever emotion in the most unexpected way with the most unexpected weight and in the most unexpected time.

Maybe it's because we extend our faith into the consolation of the future "meron din tayong mahahanap"

That itself fuels us to live and to fall in love with uncertainty :p
did i make any sense?

Anyway, grabe ha serious??? :))

Nga pala yung intro mo parang yung sa Moulin Rouge haha
