I'm so lazy, I'll just cite.

"Just because you think you found the right person for you,
doesn’t always mean that they feel you are the right person for them.

That’s the challenge and the risk of opening up to someone,
allowing yourself to become comfortable,
even fall in love."

Read this from a friend's blog, and it just struck a chord. How aptly put.

Since I don't have time to put my thoughts down into words, I decided I should just cite people around me. Haha and here it goes:

Affirmation, after a disappointment

This was a part of a blog entry written by a friend. I read it with much empathy, because I would have been so close to this if I had not plucked up the courage to jump ship while I am young and when there are choices. Choices that you can make without messing up too much of your life. Though it would only be 3 years in my case, I think that is miserable enough. To be slogging your way towards something you had no passion for. She's not the first friend who feel this way. Actually, many of my friends in this particular course feel this way. I guess it could be said to be a blind pursuit of prestige, with not much passion to speak of, sadly.

Though I had just been disappointed by an interview, I am still sure that I am on the right track. It might not be the most glamorous, most well-paid, most 'wow' career; it is, undeniably, something I want to do. I believe that is what matters the most - to pursue my dream and to respond to my calling.

爱情到底是什么？

它能让你不顾一切而盲目地跟随着
它能让你的分寸错乱
它能让感情用事替代理智
它能让你变得口是心非，让你把持不住心里的理念。

可是话说回来，这应该不完全是爱情的错吧。问题也存在于各人对爱情的观念。

对我自己而言，我很希望自己在恋爱的当儿，不要失去自己。个人的信念与坚持对我来说，还是重要的。不要因为爱着对方而改变自己，因为这样的改变是不能长久的，至少在我认为的前提内。更重要的是不要对对方隐瞒自己的优缺点，更不用掩饰自己任何的怪癖。至少我相信，在两个真正相爱和了解彼此的情侣之间，是没有什么好隐瞒和害羞的。最后一个禁忌，就是不要踩在别人的面子或自尊心上，只为了让自己在爱人的面前显得大方或受尽委屈。真心坦然，肝胆相照，对我而言是最佳的座右铭。

到时爱情来临的时候，我希望我能守住自己的信念。因为我不想因爱情而变成一个虚伪的人。这一点我很确定。
