"Anything less than love is a waste of my time"

my friend from work, trixie... an eRep famous for her Bb. Pilipnas version of an Elnk call greeting, posted a friendster bulletin with the same title as today's blog...

she was discussing 2 quotes from the film; Dream for an Insomniac; a Jennifer Aniston flick, which i had an opportunity to watch 2 months ago, when i was still brooding over my heartaches.

the 2 quotes were "I don't want to be sixty years old and married to my second best choice, wondering what ever happened to the one who got away..." and "Anything less than love is a waste of my time. There are so many mediocre things in life, and love shouldn't be one of them."

i agree, i totally agree.

after watching the movie, it made my heartache worse. this movie is the man reason why i found it hard to let go of the Cindy. always, at the back of my mind, what if she really was the one, and i just didn't try hard enough, or i just gave up too soon. it's really disturbing to think about the possibility of us ending up with the wrong person... after all the planning from teenhood to all the courting and daydreaming of being with the person we would like to grow old with... someone to share our gray years... it's really hard to think of such a thought.

but then again, it there really such a perfect, specially chosen person for each and every person? or is it just a matter or chancing upon each other as we age? i know people who are madly in-love with each other even 40 years after marriage; who claimed to have had past lovers thinking they were soul mates and ended parting ways because of irreconcilable differences...
