#363 - I'm not very good

at a lot of things. I'm not hardworking, I don't study enough, I have no drive.

I'm mediocre at a lot of things like dancing, singing and writing. Even then I'm on the verge of mediocre and barely average.

The one thing I can say I'm good at is talking. I'm always quick to make small talk when I meet someone new, and awkward silences rarely come by when I'm around. I may not be as witty as the characters in books, but I get by.

It has, however, recently come to my attention that I'm not very good when saying the words, "I love you." Sure, I type it out and I say it, but I only use those 3 words towards something general. E.g "I love you guys!" I've never said it in "that" context before. Even with family, I'm seldom the first to utter those words. It's always my reply, "Love you too." Someone always has to initiate it.

Nowadays, I see those words being used all over the place. Among friends on facebook, twitter, everything. And I begin to think and wonder. Words said too often lose their meaning. Sometimes, I see new couples, barely a week old using those words and I think, "That can't be true. That's not love." Unless they HAVE been in love for a long time before getting together then fine, understandable. Granted, I'm no great guru on the subject, but I think I get the general idea of it.

I don't think you can fall so hard and so fast in love. It's not right. Those feelings can't be true. Why not wait a little longer? Let those words actually have some meaning behind them when you say it. And when people say they love two people at once? I'm like

Don't ask me why I'm suddenly talking about this when my Mid-Years are next week. I'm probably just PMS-y or something. Or maybe it's because there's been a lot happening lately, and I'm just growing a little out of the hopeless romantic-shell. I'm not sure anymore.


Mng. Till next time then!
