DILEMMA

How rational are you when it comes to falling in love? Do you think about it carefully and prepare for its possible effects towards you...or do you just savour the moment and allow love to to take its scene?

Well if you're going to throw back the question at me, I'm not really sure which one will I choose. Most of the times I am a risk-taker, but there are moments in my life as well that I like to annalyze and calculate the pros' and cons' first before jumping into the situation. But then again I also tend to over analyze things during those times when I try to balance the situation beforehand. So I guess that would still make me more of an irrational being than a rational one, right?

I know I'm not really old enough to talk about things such as falling in love and all that 'love-related stuff', but hey, love knows no time nor age, and besides I live in a free country! So I guess I can write and say anything I want to say about love...

Okay, okay... Since I am a very imaginative human being, I would like to share one of the many ways I look at love. Here it is...

Falling in love is like being on top of a tree on a cool, dark evening. At first, you're still enjoying the feel of the cool evening breeze caressing your skin. You're still glowing with pride and joy of being on top, carefree and untroubled.

Then suddenly you fell off from the tree, unguarded and unprepared. You haven't noticed the very strong wind that blew you off because you were still so ecstatic and radiating with happiness when it came. Then the next thing you know, you're already hanging on to one of the branches. You're not sure on what to do.

You're caught between hanging on the branch or letting go of it. If you'll choose to hang on the branch, you're not sure on how long will you be able to hold on to the branch. You're not sure if you'll be able to keep hanging on there 'til daylight comes. On the other hand, if you'll choose to let go of the branch, you're not sure of what awaits you down there since all you can see is the unending darkness.

Now, Will you play it safe and keep hanging on and wait 'til you see a ray of light or until someone comes for help?... Or will you risk everything and just let go even though you're not sure what's in store for you or whether someone will catch you when you reach the bottom?

We may have different views on love, we may have our own ways in dealing with it, but one thing's for sure though, we'll never know when love hit us!
