An excerpt
This is from The Sandman Vol 9 (a conversation in chpt 9)
Are you going to hurt me? Kill me? Mess me up?
No more than usually; no, and perhaps, a little, but only with love.
Love...
Have you ever been in love?
You might say that.
Horrible, isn't it?
In what way?
It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up.
You build up all these defenses, you build up this whole armour, for years, so 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 don't ask for it. They do 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 a simple phrase like "maybe you should just be friends" or "how very perceptive" turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart.
How picturesque.
It hurts, no just in the imagination, no just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real-gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.
Nothing should be able to do that, especially not love. I hate love.
How apt. I've been trying to find adjectives but omigosh, this is the best I've seen so far. Love, btw, doesn't always only mean romantic love okay? Sigh, neil gaiman is the best (:
Okay let's talk about today.
Sports day, hung out with mei xue talking crap, raiding the milo van and sharing her purple brolly. Then went to marina with lihui, yl, cy, grace and cs. Bumped into ppl like yiwei, yun jing and huifen along the way. Managed to trick yj that we were watching glory and hope. (hint: think love and honour)
Armed with 6 Lays/Ruffles packets, we went to the cinema for movie timings. In the end, only yl, grace and I watched Mr. Bean cos the rest watched it already. Then we discussed la, went back. Or rather, they went back and I went to collect my phone (:
Got off at the wrong stop, but no harm done. Simply got on the next train lol.
Interestingly, I bumped into 2 people today (extra). I was collecting my phone when I saw this guy from my church who was collecting his son's phone. Talked for a while before he left, but the interesting one is the next.
Yl, grace and I were meeting lihui, cy and cs at the food court. I plonked on my seat, happened to turn around and guess who I saw? Hint: Someone from khs...
very... BLACK...
likes... jade...
wears... one bottle of perfume a day...
has thick... foundation (and arms oops)
and ... is called Mrs Ho.
Heh. BRILLIANT lihui asked me to go say hi and I'm like hullo she never even taught me T_T. Oh yes, her husband looks rather old and haggard. They were eating duck rice hehe.
Yay I love my phone. Tmr is another busy day. Sighhhh.
And I can join all my guide friends to look sunburnt. :( My face is a weird colour... sob.
I mumbled to myself not to mumble ever again- 5:30 AM
