So, Valentine's Day is coming. As I type this, many girls in Japan are probably busy making (actually I agree with sy's friend, to me it's reshaping) chocolate for their guy friends or romantic interests. Away from family and friends with no knight in the horizon, Valentine's Day simply doesn't interest me much. Not too long ago, with the spate of people I know getting attached, it seemed that love was in the air. Then one of my best friends updated me on his love life (jumped on the bandwagon!), and told me that good guys are getting fewer and fewer. I wonder if that's a call for me to stop being so picky and be content with what I have, or can have. When it comes to relationships, contentment is hard to find. There are many good guys around me, but I don't feel any chemistry with them, nor do they give me the pitter-pat heart that I'm looking for. Put it down to reading too many romance novels, but I have high hopes (expectations?) for my significant other. If I were to be involved, I want the whole works, everything my heart and mind wants. For a pragmatist, this is extremely unrealistic. But I just can't settle for someone simply because he's a good guy, communicates well with me, understands me... If it's just that, no butterflies in the stomach, what distinguishes him from being a significant other and being a good friend? There must be something more. Until the time comes when something happens to shake my beliefs, or when I'm worried that I'm past my sell-by date, I'll continue to hang on to my ideals. Maybe if I'm very, very patient, cupid will turn his bow and arrow in my direction. In the meantime, my commitment apart from family and friends will be to this blog.


And that was me clearing some backlog of thoughts that were lingering in my mind, but that I was too lazy to organise and blog about. Not that this is very organised, but I realised that if I don't purge the thoughts, they circle round in my mind and new ones can't enter. Limited brain space. -nods-
