waiting
I got this thing so I could join those icon communities..and decided I might as well write in it..since I'm not writing a thing in my diary. I'm watching AC Milan v.s. Liverpool with my grandfather, who is actually asleep, but that's just because nothing is happening so far and he's a Man U supporter.
So lately, I've been doing a lot of waiting..which is kind of hard..I know patience is a virtue and this waiting is really cultivating that quality in me..but in general, I'm not very good at waiting..even if it's something simple like waiting for your food to arrive after you've placed your order..but I know that's more an I-love-food-and-I'm-so-hungry! kind of thing than a waiting thing. Waiting for the mail to arrive is this eagerly anticipated thing..but it's also annoying when you wait and wait and no mail arrives.
But nobody does as much waiting as Clare...you know Clare in The Time Traveler's Wife. It's like she has to wait for Henry to come back from wherever he's gone..and she can never follow him (cos she doesn't have the chrono-displacement gene). It's not easy at all..but Clare does it really well..the thing is she's waiting for someone she knows is the one for her..what is harder than that is what you see in someone waiting for a person they don't even know exists..like some of my friends are waiting for some guy to come and sweep them off their feet..and it's not like I don't believe in true love because I do...but sometimes I wonder whether stories like this, romantic I-will-die-for-you stories, kind of warp our vision of reality and give us unrealistic expectations of love. I read somewhere once that scientists have found that one person can be with five different people at any one time...something like that. As in it's perfectly ridiculous to believe that God has specially hand-picked one person for you, forever (which is what Cleo says, but seriously, half of the things written in that magazine are fluff).
Anyway, I know that there are many people who believe in the concept of soulmates..but if you ask me, aren't friends..people you can really connect with and talk to about everything...aren't those people your soulmates too? But I guess it must be a beautiful feeling...to know one person so well like he or she knows you and to know that they're always going to be around...I don't know if I believe in one soulmate or not..but you know what I definitely do believe in? Fate. That things happen for a reason. Which is an easy way to accept all those icky things which happen..like now for example, when Pirlo has just scored from a free kick..ick..ok half-time..and the end of this entry. :) bye!
