But I think a lot of people would secretly nod their heads. When I had read them, I chuckled… okay, I admit it, I totally agree with them!
“We say we love flowers, yet we pluck them. We say we love trees, yet we cut them down. And people still wonder why some are afraid when told they are loved.”
“Have you ever been in love? Horrible, isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person wanders into your stupid life… You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.” by Neil Gaiman.
Let’s see if I can find a music video to match… The title actually is “Rhythm of the Falling Rain”. I actually found a couple of Chinese versions… they were nice but this is still my favorite.
Okay, it wasn’t a soul wrenching music… don’t think I can handle that much negative vibes for one night. I thought about using “It’s sad to belong..” by England Dan and J. F. Coley but still decided on this “pitter patter…oh oh oh…”
