Hello, Happy Valentine's Day, everyone.
Although I think that this day is really silly and commercialised now, such that it makes my hair stand to see all the couples holding hands and flowers or giant soft toys, I don't disagree that it's a good reminder to people to treasure their loved ones. Not just other halves; but family and friends too. To me, the only thing I would hope for for this day, is to be with someone I love, and that would be enough. No need for flowers or grand displays of love; my wishes are simple. And that, would be a good valentine's day, in my eyes.
I guess some people want things, celebrations, gestures; but I suppose it's because they already have the someone they want it from. People always want more and more, don't they? It's rare to have the patience and selflessness to not do so. But I guess I'm the same. Who knows - I may become more like one of those people in the future, if I one day have the same luck to have enough and be comfortable in my position to want more. Which I think I once did, in the past. But I suppose people who don't have what they wish for, and who have been waiting for a long time, treat hope as a distant relative they may someday be reacquainted with, when the time comes. And so, they don't ask for more, and would perhaps even be content with less. I suppose what doesn't come easy is less taken for granted.
Which is in itself such an irony, because sometimes the most sincere and best of things present themselves to us for the picking. Perhaps people like to suffer; or, maybe, just me. And well... I think we often find that what we've always wanted all along is not really what we want at all. And then our old friend regret will pay its visit once again.
Ahh my apologies. Days like these cause me to be... nostalgic. And perhaps a little whimsical and lost in thought. But no worries. I'm not unhappy... it's just that as time keeps passing, it leaves me older, but not wiser; young, but with less vitality and more weariness. 7 years too early, it was. All the pleasure, hope, hurt, pain, and jadedness.
I'm searching for Innocence.
OKAY BACK TO CAT. -_-
