The Miranda Dilemma
And so 2 weeks have passed, but the subject on Jet never seemed to go away. Like a shadow that lurks, Jet is never around but always there... no thanks to Big who keeps talking about him every single day. Somehow, Big always manages to find ways and means of inserting Jet into the picture. Whether we are having our meals, watching movies, or preparing to sleep, it's always Jet, Jet and Jet non-stop... so much so that it's as if we are already in a three-way relationship with this invisible Jet guy. If I didn't know any better, I'd believe that this is an actual ploy to psycho me into a three-way relationship... I mean, get the person so used to this invisible third party, and who knows? When the third party actually comes into the picture, it probably wouldn't seem out of place since the person has already been mentally prepped for one in the first place. But, I know my limits. The moment Jet steps into the picture, I know it'll be my time to step down. So why remain with Big now? One may ask. Perhaps it's the false hope that maybe...just maybe... Big's infatuation with Jet would eventually fade with time. But of course, who's to say that there won't be other future Jets around? So, we are back to the same question again. Why remain with Big?
The past two weeks, I thought hard and long about the predicament I was in and I did myself a Miranda list. You know, the one that Miranda did to help her decide whether to meet Steve at the bridge or not. In Big's case, he had a long list of little pros. On the other hand, while his list of cons were extremely short, it was nonetheless significantly substantial. Thus, the dilemma - does one choose to be with the man because of his many small merits that adds up; or does one choose to leave the man because of his one single, but lethal flaw? In the end, I chose with my heart.
And so for now, the journey continues on with Big... but no one knows for sure what the journey ahead would lie. Even I, the author of my own life, would have to patiently wait and find out.
