“Give love a try, just one more time” is a part of a song from the Jonas brothers. When I first heard this song, it made me realise why I never gave love a try in my life. Throughout my high school years, I never really gave love a try. The reason for this was that I made a promise with myself that I won’t give love a chance because my focus was to get into university. After I got accepted to university I basically gotten so used to not fall in love that I think I’m scared of falling in love.
A friend of mine, in Vietnam, asked me “Have I ever fallen in love/ have I lived in love yet?” I told him “No I haven’t”. After he asked me that question, I thought for a few minutes why I haven’t fallen in love yet. And I had realised that I never really had given it a chance in my life. I basically was so involved in chasing my dreams that I forgotten all about it. But how do you know if you fallen in love anyways?
When I was in Vietnam a lot of my family friends’ kept asking me that I should marry a Vietnamese guy over there than back here in Perth. Then it made me think, if I were to fall in love with someone over there than what would happen to us. I mean; I grew up in Perth and I have family and friends here and if I decided to live over there than what would happen to everything I knew. Would I just throw it away for love? And what happens if it was the other way around. What happens if it is him who decides to move and live with me in Perth? Would he be willing to throw everything he knew to live with me?
Even though we grew up in to different worlds and our worlds have crossed, eventually in the end we must realise that our worlds cannot collide with one another’s. But is this what most people do for love? Is love about the sacrifices you make?
If love is about the sacrifices you make for no another than why is it so hard to forget someone you love because you know you can’t be with them? For instance, if you fell in love with someone and you know you can’t be with them, for a good reason, are you willing to let them go because of that reason why you can’t be with them?
I’m the type of girl that normally watches Asian dramas and most of the dramas I’ve watched have a similar story line; boy meets girl, or vice versa, and they fall in love but something prevents them being together. The ending to these dramas however, is usually a happy ending because they overcome the situation and live happily ever after. But can people fall in love in real life like the ones in the Asian dramas? Or in the typical love story type movies?
There was a movie which I watched on the plane, last year, it was “Boys Over Flowers: The Movie”. One significant quote which I remember was “What is your dream?” This quote underlines the fact that if you ask this to someone you love and their answer was their dream is you then they have considered you in their future. However, if the reply has nothing to do with you then they don’t see a future with you. This quote was used when the main female character didn’t know if she loves the main male character. After she gotten her reply from him, she knew that he loves her, but did she love him?
Sometimes, after a break up, people don’t give love a try any more. Maybe it’s because they are scared that they may fall so deeply in love again that breaking up would hurt even more. I’ve seen some of my friends going through this phase over and over again. The stories that they tell me, I can see how in love they were. So why does love hurt so bad when you break up with people? What are the signs to tell you that before committing yourself to someone that this relationship won’t work before it’s too late?
“People who love each other end up reuniting. No matter how far apart they are, they will reunite in the end. Love is something that returns!”
