I decided to churn out a blog post in view of the fact that... Well. I may not actually finish the book that quickly. And I am super sorry for any typos cause I am typing this on my iPad.
「那些年，我们一起追的女孩」
The show was... Really good. I watched it with the bandies (Sheryl, Soomin, Haoxiang, Munam, Martin and last but not least Chong) and... Not surprisingly I cried. Buckets and buckets I could not even stop myself. I knew of the IMO really sad ending before hand as I researched all about it in my attempt to convince Emmanuel that it was not a "raunchy sex show" nor "Taiwanese pie" and I guess... I hate the ending, but then again, reality sucks balls.
我们有过多少次差肩而过的爱情？In the movie, the two lead characters loved each other. The guy was extremely blatant about it, but the girl, being a girl, just wouldn't admit it (for reasons I am still unsure of but I will find out after reading the book). He chased her, for a full 8 years but he never got to her. She got married to someone else, the typical case of 我爱的人不是我的爱人。
But then again, even if they did get together, would it have lasted? Love (and a loving relationship) does not only require the two people to be in love with each other. 凡事都需要天时地利人和。That though, we will never find out.
什么是爱情？ Was the "thing" between them really love, or was it what adult called "puppy love"? What true love really is, I am unsure of. However, I still strongly stand by what I have always believed - that two people will only really, truly, love each other when they are young. When they are oblivious to the rest of the world, oblivious to making a living and what not that they can ignore all secondary factors and truly love someone. I have never regretted a single relationship that I've had in my life; they were all wonderful learning experiences that I've had, they gave me shitloads of great memories, it is a past that I will embrace until I die.
But right now, the biggest question on my mind is: 我们有过多少次的差肩而过的爱情？ Labels: daily, thoughts
