Questions

So have you sat there talking to someone you’ve known casually and suddenly felt feelings that can in no way be described as casual? Can your sub conscious mind suddenly feel a certain vibe…a certain something that makes you look at this regular, always around the place guy differently? Or were these feelings always there? Lingering in the background…

Have you met someone new…someone who in no way would seem a possibility? When you’re happy with the way your relationship is going but there you are sensing these insanely crazy feelings of want for someone you don’t think you’d even be meeting again?

Have you chucked aside moral values to take a chance at exploring these feelings? Would you sit and judge someone who did?

Would you take that chance and then get back to your life - like nothing happened? Can you?

Have you wanted to be with someone simply because they make you feel secure and you’d rather settle for that sense of security than live with the notion that “love” is forever?

Have you been crazily in love with someone and promised them “heaven” and “earth” only to fall in line with your family and throw aside a chance at forever? Just so you don’t hurt the family that made you what you are?

Have you woken up one day and realized you no longer feel the same way about the man whose name you moaned out the previous night and so many nights before?

Have you jeopardised your best friend’s relationship because you couldn’t share your friend with anyone? Have you fallen for your friend’s partner?

Have you fallen for your first cousin or someone in your family and let your feelings dictate your life?

Have you been an abusive relationship? Let someone walk all over you and not made an attempt to get out …

……………………………………………………………………………….????

Conversations with a friend and having experienced some of these feelings myself, I find over time relationships can’t be set to clichéd norms. How two people live and choose to be in a relationship move beyond clichés like “loyalty, commitment” and even the oft repeated excuse for individual freedom “space”!

What troubles my mind is unlike before I somehow can’t let my mind take a straight forward safe view in terming what people frown upon as wrong. I find my mind stepping into the shoes of the people involved and more often than not, I can sense why…I can understand why…and my heart can’t simply follow the crowd and term it “wrong”… I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing?

Those who have the balls will take that step come what may.

Sadly more than half the world is filled with sissies who piss in their pants the moment they see that a r'ship needs some work.. hence such things are best only to talk/write about. Pity!!

While reading through this post, i was wondering 'whew! this one has lived a very chequered life when it comes to relationships'.

The fun part is, i still dont know.

twilight said...

j - i dunno y a show of such guts is always defined by such male chauvinistic cliche's @ "those who have the balls" .... :)

@ sissies - it's ppl who don't want to face the aftermath or foresee more trouble tht don't make it work...

twilight said...

aakash - err ... that's not all me. Some of it yes.

Mala said...

Keshi said...

**there you are sensing these insanely crazy feelings of want for someone you don’t think you’d even be meeting again?

many times LOL!



**Have you chucked aside moral values to take a chance at exploring these feelings? Would you sit and judge someone who did?

yes for both :)



**Would you take that chance and then get back to your life - like nothing happened? Can you?

thats the only thing I cudnt do...will never be able to do..



**Have you wanted to be with someone simply because they make you feel secure and you’d rather settle for that sense of security than live with the notion that “love” is forever?

yes..


**Have you been crazily in love with someone and promised them “heaven” and “earth” only to fall in line with your family and throw aside a chance at forever? Just so you don’t hurt the family that made you what you are?

no...but my ex-BF did that to me.



**Have you woken up one day and realized you no longer feel the same way about the man whose name you moaned out the previous night and so many nights before?

yes..but it happened due to what he did...the choices he made.



**Have you jeopardised your best friend’s relationship because you couldn’t share your friend with anyone? Have you fallen for your friend’s partner?

nope...



**Have you fallen for your first cousin or someone in your family and let your feelings dictate your life?

yes...it happened...but it was just a silly crush bak when I was younger. I grew out of it thank God :)



**Have you been an abusive relationship? Let someone walk all over you and not made an attempt to get out …

yes..in a emotionally abusive one. And took me awhile to get some sense into my head n get out...



**How two people live and choose to be in a relationship move beyond clichés like “loyalty, commitment” and even the oft repeated excuse for individual freedom “space”!

I so agree.



**and my heart can’t simply follow the crowd and term it “wrong”… I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing?

true...even I cant do that. Cos everyone is different. But as humans we do judge initially atleast..it's unavoidable.



Great post girl!

I like that. And i would say there is a good side and bad side to that kinda thing. From most count i will say its a good thing. As long as we don't let our opinions get to our heads in our terms of demanding its accuracy it should be fine i feel.

A very thought provoking post.:)

Something i would want to come back to and read again.

*hugz*

AmitL said...

Hi,Twilight..Whew..what deep questions..Thankfully,I can't recall (m)any incidents where I have passed through such thought processes. And, when I did,they just,err'passed' without havoc being wreaked.Primarily due to common sense and/or 'putting oneself in the other's shoes'worked to diffuse the situation. *touchwood*.

Have a nice day.

I can relate to a couple of the questions posed.
sometimes life is nothing but questions that remain unanswered, dont you think?

An ILLuS|On said...

Well being unique is always a good thing coz its not always necessary that what masses do is always going to be right!
Be whatever you're & feel whatever you feel like instead of complying it with the masses & then doing something about it *though i know you don't but still*

FireWhisky said...

you know, i always wondered why people who claim to have total faith in love want to cut and run when they see that love needs work... it needs faith and the will to fight it out...

lovely post...
