office musing

love n friendship... that's what they say keeps the world goin. but is there anything such as unconditional love? something that demands nothing in return except the same sort of unconditional care n concern? true love which doesnt need to be professed everyday through empty words but shown in actions? love which aids u to grow in life... yet not something which is totally utilitarian n selfish?

i dont mean love that demands ultimate selflessness or self-sacrifice... but something which has the power to turn burdens lighter and make life sunnier.

well, but that is something that you get only in books right?

casanova

I came across an interesting site forum with a topic that caught my attention. Topic: L-O-V-E-M-A-K-I-N-G (phew!). One of the post said something like ...the problem with love is that people stopped making love, too busy trying to stick to everything moving.

Lovemaking is a forgotten art and it is an experience many people never get to understand or live to speak about.

Most people settle for easy f*** like marathon to see who finishes first and forgeting about the journey to get their. I think its the most selfish act any two people can perform together. And when it's over, will it be remembered next week? Next month? Or the same emptiness?

Lovemaking is the ultimate act of selflessness and in that intimate space two people communicate in ways the mind cannot fathom, and only can be shared in that intimate space saturated by love... a conversation without words spoken with the eloquence of scholars, using words Webster has yet to utter. Emotions and dreams shared without a sound; where old pains become new joys, old woulds are healed, and innocence is renewed. "

With love lost and won everyday, the goal remains the same- to love and be loved.

sorrow and confusion

i am frustrated. why? i don't know.

i recently started feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because i don't really know what i want to do.

i look at my job. i love what i do. i love my desk and my office (except for my lousy PC!). i adore my officemates, they are my second family. but somehow i feel im not growing anymore. i am bored, close to getting burnedout.

i feel alone and scared and confused. i feel insecure and then secure. life moves so fast and suddenly change becomes the enemy. nothing seems certain. i cling on to the past with dear life but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away. and before i know it, i am in the crossroad of either staying where i am or moving forward and either option scares me.

i recently had my heart broken and wonder how someone i loved so much could give so much pain. i lay in bed and wonder why i can't meet anyone decent enough to get to know better. i cannot figure out why i am having such bad cards in relationships when i am not a bad person at all.

i go through the same emotions and questions over and over and I feel stupid because I cannot seem to make a decision to life's simple questions.

i worry about my future and making a good life for myself while winning the race would be great. But right now I just a challenger of life.
