Why do all the problems that can exist in relationships seem to befall us? Why do we have to endure so many bumps and humps and never given a chance to sail a smooth journey? Why can't I be, close to you?
Do you believe in Walt's Disney happily ever after? Will good triumphant over evil in the real world of ours where the Princess do not live in far far away castle and our knight in shinning armours is just an ordinary man in the sea of extraordinary gentlemen? A simple story of love with a tablespoon of hope, a dash of romance, 2 stalks of happiness, 500grams of faith, a sprinkle of laughter and 3 litres of Tears. It may not be the ideal recipe for fairy tale love stories but it is sweet nonetheless. However, the question here is, What is the IDEAL recipe to create a Walt Disney's happily ever after? Do I dance my way into a magical ball with my glass slippers or Do I simply prick my fingers on a spinning wheel and fall into a long deep sleep till Prince Charming come along and give me a kiss? I have longed grown up and stop believing in my dusty books of romance. There is no Jamie Oliver to teach us in this world to cook up a good meal of love. A good and loving relationship must have and will sail through wild seas and roaring thunders before they reach their destination called, Port Bliss.
Well, of course, undeniably not all relationships can survive the ocean. Some will sink, some will hit the iceburg, some will lost their way, and most will never see the clear blue skies and ringing church bells awaiting at Port Bliss.
The crews on the relationship play important roles. In the whole journey to Port Bliss, they must continously give and take. There should always be understanding and as crews in this dangerous journey, they must equipped themselves with wisdom, patience and LOVE to survive. Wisdom to know when to steer clear of whirlpools and not to jeorpadise the other crew. The patience to understand the needs of the other crew, to give into some of the demands he/she may have and the possible drama(s) that may ensue in the journey. Love is above all. What is love? Knock at the door of your heart and it will let you into what is love. Love drives you to sail on in the storm, it holds back the bitterness that ensues and it hides your struggles, but most of all, its the connection that the 2 crews will need to keep on sailing.
I lacked the patience and my crew lack the wisdom. WE struggle to keep the ship afloat in storms, we fight about who should steer the wheel, we raised voices for the tiresome long journey and we ponder why it is taking us so long to reach Port Bliss. Along the way, we have throw in the towel. WE got bored the journey and we stop embracing love. Love is when we will just enjoy the simple things in this 'ship'. Listening to the lapse of waves, watching dolphins swim in the sunset, and lying next to each other counting the stars at night. If you ever feel lost in the sea and lonely at times, embrace love. Just simply come back to your heart and knock at it.
It will fill your soul with love and then you will be back on track to your Port Bliss. The church bells will ring and the birds will sing, but it is your choice, to jump ship or to endure the hardship so you can listen to the ringing and the singing together for Love is Cinta. Do not let the cumbersome journey drain out your love darling.
