Well, I'm happy that I had the opportunity to spend time with my friends. But I must say that I am not uncomfortable with them talking about their relationships. I am not completely stable on my stand in the sense that my logical mind tells me no but like the person I have always been, my emotive side gives me a strong yes. For now, I know that a firm "no" should be the way to go but listening to their conversation, I figured out that telling them "no" would be forcing a stone down their throat. Neither could I take the heartache they were narrating because I know that is not the way love is and the reason is because it's not time to be involved a relationship yet. So I backed away. Frustrated. Why can no one understand what I understand? Why can no one see that a "no" is the way it should be right now? Why?
I understand. I guess then, that the hands of time will make them understand. Yes, it's part of growing up that certain lessons have to be learnt the painful way. All I can hope is that not too much pain will be inflicted before they learn the lesson.
I guess then, that's also why we never truly appreciate what the older generation says and never take their words of wisdom to heart.
Must we only learn the lessons when we grow old? After all the pain?
Can we reverse the order?
