Fate VS Timing And The Eventual Happily Ever After

After chatting with Yoniko for the entire night, I decied to put my after thoughts of her after thoughts of the conversation we had into words. MUAHAAHAH!

Okay serious time.

I really like her last blog post. I have been there when she was with her ex-boyfriend. And I have seen how she and her current Mr Best got together in secondary school, then broke up. How he seem to always keep a special place in his heart for her. How he eventually won her heart. And how happy they are now.

She is someone who means so much to him that he never let her out of his mind.

Sometimes that is just what we need. Meaning something to someone, and having someone there for us when we are at our weakest.

But life is not simple, fate and timing is even more complicated. Perhaps circumstances do not allow. Perhaps it was just not the right time, or the right person. Or perhaps it's just not meant to be.

However, maybe what we need isn't absolute commitment. Maybe it is just enough to know that someone we care about at least has a place for us in their lives.

A friendly glance, a sincere smile, a thoughtful gesture. The little things that allow us to believe that at least our feelings are appreciated, if not reciprocated, even if that someone may not always be everything that we want them to be.

Although it may seem like slim pickings as compared to having someone who is always there, who feels strongly about you, but it just isn't the same when the multitude of feelings is just on different levels. Sometimes you can just care so much about someone that platonic cordiality becomes the only thing you want, because it would mean keeping that person in your life for as long as you can.

It is actually not a bad thing at all. No one ever gets everything they want. In life we lose a lot of things, some exceptionally treasured, others grossly neglected. But one thing is for sure, at some point of time, we will get around to feeling melancholy about these things. A lingering despondence for the treasured and a passing dolefulness for the neglected.

And I believe that it is through all these losses that we eventually get there. To the right time, the right person, the final meant-to-be for each one of us. And that will be the time when we finally get our eventual happily ever after.
