How Life Plays Out

All teeny bopper love flicks are the same. Watch one and then you've watched all. It's funny why most romance movies evolve in that thing called serendipity. How it is portrayed as a fortunate accident. How lovers put their faith in the hands of fate. How scenes are pragmatic at first but end up being magical in its most phony sense. I may be the proverbial love idiot, which is probably why I am still single. Trying to decipher one's real intentions and motives is one of those things in which I badly need to excel. Duh, I even find it hard to rationalize my own actions at times, let alone someone else's. Nonetheless I believe in that thing called love. It just so happens that some individuals diminish the concept of love into a superficial and helpless emotion. The thought of people going gaga over love at first sight makes me shiver to my nerves, honestly. Reality check, there's no such thing as 'love at first sight.' Attraction would be acceptable, but not love. It saddens me that there are those who incessantly search for their special someone just for the sake of being happy. I wish for us to be accountable for our own happiness. I don't deny that romance adds color to our everyday life. But a healthy introspection and bond with ourselves would be our most effective foundation for all relationships we have.
