It's the 25th of February 2018, which means New Years, Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year has passed. What do all these events have in common? They're all flaunt-my-relationship-on-instagram events.
Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not a salty and bitter single lady cursing and hating on every couple on earth (I think...), but I realised how much importance is put on finding "the one" when you get older. When you meet your relatives during Chinese New Year, the never ending questions about your life seems unavoidable. And if you're ashamed of your utterly pathetic life, get ready to live through it every time you reconnect with an aunt you haven't seen in a year. Fortunately for me, I kinda figured out my priorities in life, well, kinda... Anyways, I'm digressing a lot. The whole point of this blog post is supposed to highlight the fact that romantic love is kinda overrated, whereas friendship love and self love is quite underrated. Everyone talks about how hard it is to do a long distance romantic relationship, but no one talks about how hard it is to do a long distance friend relationship. Everyone talks about loving your other half on Valentine's day, but no one really talks about loving yourself every other day. At the age of 22, I feel like I've still got quite a long way to go, but the fact that everyone around me is attached, or getting engaged, it does kinda stress me out a bit. And with Hollywood romanticising this whole "the one" thing, I mean, I obviously am a disbeliever of that concept, but your environment somehow plays a part in how you should behave. So yea, while I'm slightly stressed, I think mostly, I contented with life. I don't know where I was going with this blogpost but yeah.... I guess I just wanna remind my readers that hey, there's more to life that the concept of "the one". And I guess if someone that makes u happy comes along, then good for you. I know the message I'm sharing has been.... kinda overshared? But I think it's still good to be reminded once in a while about other types of love that are shadowed by the romanticised "romantic love" Thats all for now! Ciao
