My friend told me to look at friendship/relationship like a glass partly-filled with water.
No this is not the typical story, listen.
The water represents memories you've gained and collected throughout the relationship- good, bad, mostly good..
Where the water stops is the point of end of the relationship.
The non-filled empty part represents all the what-ifs, the unknown, undiscovered possible futures.
Well basically at the end of the relationship you could let yourself get caught up regretting the "premature"-or-not end, imagining about all that "could have" happened had it continued, all the "losses". Essentially, these regrets and thoughts are based on 1 thing- air. Empty empty air.
We could , on the other hand, look back to the water and think about all the good times- the memories, and cherish whatever we had out of it.
At the end of the r/s, we choose. To look to the empty part we'd be wondering/regretting, to the filled part we'd smile. Chances are, you'll be a much happier person if you choose the latter.
Besides thaaat.....
Me, Shad and Fie ("The 3 Stooges", Katak calls) went to Secret Recipe today!!! Ate ate ate til the flabs runneth over (the waist of my skirt). Tom Yam spaghetti was delish, who would have thought? And the cakes, marble cheese, White Choc Macadamia and Banana Chocolate were gorgeous and tasted fab (Your saliva running yet, Kamie?). I had to, hmm, clear my bowels, before I could walk properly after that. Over-estimated the size of my stomach once again.
Btw, check out the US version of the Coldplay's Trouble vid. Good stuff.
All down, cerpen to go..
