Love Will Be The Solution

If we give a little love, we can change the world. 
Definitely.

She has not lived long, but she definitely saw how love changed the world, the people around her and something within her.

Welcome to Life Isn't Honey's latest blog post; welcome to her story.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sitting on an airplane bound for Malaysia, she is coming back home. The clouds slowly past her by as night slowly turns to day. There were many people in this flight and the sign of seat belt was switched on and off constantly. That was how slow time passed her by. But, time that was given to her was not wasted at all because as the airplane flies across air currents to Malaysia, her brains begins connecting nerve to nerve as she thought of the possibilities and the future.

In Malaysia, someone was waiting for her. Sure, he was preoccupied with examinations but she was hoping, with a small glimmer in her heart that he thought about her from time to time. Her holiday to another part of the world was not as fun as it used to be. Last time, she would explore, jump and run about but now she is careful of where she went, afraid to die lest she cannot return in time to see him. In fact, when she went back to Malaysia, she is sure she would stick close to him and never let him go. But, is it that healthy?

Because in books, advice columns and real life scenarios that presented themselves to her throughout her short life, it was not healthy to be afraid or to be so attached to their other half, also known as the "sticky" type. This scared her even more, even to the point of demoralizing her thoughts and actions. She was not so confident of herself anymore. After many past relationships, she really want to make this relationship work. But, how can she?

He is going to start an internship soon, which would mean he would meet more people, more exposure and less time for both of them because of his lack in time management. Meeting more people means he might meet different type of people, but she thought about those bitches that seduces people for favors or for fun  in exchange for sexual experiences. She frowns as she looks at his picture. But, he is not like her ex. He is not that kind of person, but so many things could happen along the way. Maybe he might fall out of love with her and be in love with another. Oh man, that would really break her heart. She sighs.

More exposure means he would get more knowledge and more experience. "Now, that is a good thing," she thought happily as she smiles. But, we cannot also forget the fact that less time will be spent between them as he is involved with work and studies now. He keeps saying that he needs to resit for a paper, which means he need the extra time to study after working hours. If that is the case, where does that put her? It seems troublesome, since she meets him every day even when they go to different schools. But, what worries her the most is that he cannot cope along with the stress of everyday life.

She shook her head. What is she thinking? All of these seem minor as she keeps thinking about it.
If he falls in love with another, shouldn't she be happy he found true love instead?
If he can get exposure and knowledge for his future use, shouldn't she be supportive instead?
If he can pass his resit exam and finish his internship, shouldn't she be encouraging and back off instead?

For 3 months, it does not seem like it is a long time. And, if by backing off can he only succeed, why not?
It is not like the end of the world, is it?


So what are those ounces of prevention we can apply to our relationships to ensure they remain stable and satisfying? 
  1. Learn to negotiate.
  2. Be compassionate and listen to the thoughts and feelings of your loved ones.
  3. Rather than complain, become a problem-solver.


This was something she read when she was typing her story here. She is putting it up as a reminder, not only to herself but to everyone else. Besides that, her mind is calm similar to when the airplane touched down on Malaysian grounds a few weeks ago. The upcoming events are not called challenges, they are called OPPORTUNITIES. She plan to continue to walk down the path of Life with him, although she would have to work on the "sticky" part. She thought she was doing well on not being so sticky, maybe she needs to work harder? (:

-my own quote and conclusion-
Love will be the solution and not become a problem. With all the love she can give, she hopes her love would give him the support he needs. Love will change the world, bit by bit. (:
