I have been asking myself this question lately. "Have I ever been in love?"
I have a friend of mine, he is single for quite sometime and I think it's his first time to have a girl friend. I asked him if ever he fell in love before. He said a couple of times. How can you say that you are in love with that person? He said that often thought about that specific person and it made him smile when he sees her. This made me think. This guy didn't had relationship before and still he could say that he did fell in love. I on the other hand never came to a moment in my life that I said that I am in love.
I am secretly a romantic but somehow I have always masked this.
Maybe I did fell in love but stopped myself from doing so. I always thought that being madly in love is stupid. I do want to imagine myself acting stupid and doing stupid things because of love. Apparently I did many stupid things and many mistakes and I was not that I was in love. I am just plainly stupid.
I realized that I am too guarded of my feelings that I have stopped myself from enjoying something wonderful (though people tend to me silly at this time but this is part of the beauty of it). The real reason why I don't fall because I am afraid of getting hurt. I don't want to be disappointed and rejected.
I do want to be in love but I can't unlearn what I am over night. Hopefully I will take baby steps and take my chances. I have been hurt before but for other reasons. My love is developed and a very slow process.
I just hope that one day I truly make someone happy and not be the cause of someone else's pain.
