Something that got me thinking

当他还在你身边时，你会珍惜吗？你还会错过吗？

This phrase captured my attention while browsing through one of my colleague's blog. It made me thought of the situation my friend, E is facing. His story was quite a sad one, kinda like those which will only happen in those early days of chinese drama. Got to know E during poly days and he was a good, typical down to earth man that every girl would love to be with.. but ever heard before 男人不坏，nu人不爱 - it's just so true, well maybe to me, at least.

Anyway he's been through some major ups & downs in his 5 years relationship and my sincere admiration to him for being himself & able to stand up strong & determined * salutes* I would have fallen badly if I were in his shoes, and lost hope in all future relationships (perhaps that's why women are always more sentimental & emotional) He's into one relationship now, but it wasn't exactly something that's going pretty smoothly for him as well. They had a few loopholes here and there, now I'm beginning to ask myself regarding the phrase above, how true it is? Remembered the last meet-up session with Stan & P, we talked about meeting the right one. They felt abit pressurized seeing everyone around them settling down and wonders when they'll meet the ONE? But have they ever thought of this - What if that someone is already there, besides them? But they have never given that person chance to show their affection? What if that's really happening? Will they try?

Well, I do feel God had long assigned one partner to each & everyone, it's just about how we can/are going to reach that correct path. 当他还在你身边时，你会珍惜吗？你还会错过吗？ - my answer : we always take our loved ones, those people who cared for us, for granted sub-consciously. Because we know they are always there when we need them, they won't run away. But little do we know how bad and painful it's gonna be when they are out of your life. E used to debate within himself whether to give the relationship a last shot, but will there be a chance given for that last shot? - it will be a ?? Very ironically in life, when you have overcome your fear and determined to do something, you'll only come to realise that chance was gone, it had slipped away gradually...
