What is Love?
painstakingly translated by selvi baby from bahasa indonesia coz i asked her to. would be a waste if i'm the only one to read it. so i'm sharing with you guys. i hope it strikes a chord.
love is like butterfly. the more u go after it, the more it will run. but if u let it fly, it will come to u when u least expect it. love can make u happy but it often make u sad. love is only valuable if u give it to someone who knows how to appreciate it. so dont be in a hurry, choose wisely.
love is not about being the perfect one for someone. but it's abt finding someone who can help you to be yourself. and because of that, u may be perfect.
don't ever say "i love u" if u don't care. don't ever talk abt feelings tat never existed. don't ever touch someone's life if it is gonna destroy his/ her heart. don't ever look at someone in the eye if all u do is but a lie. the cruelest thing that someone can do to anyone is to let him/ her fall in love, while u have no intention of catching him/ her.
love is not "it's your fault" but "i'm sorry". Not "where are you" but "I am here". Not "how could u" but "I understand". Not "if only you hadnt been like this" but "i love you for the way you are".
the most appropriate measure of compatibility is not how long or how often you stay together, but whether you are together, you always fill in on one another and build a high quality life together.
sadness is only felt for as long as u want it and only cut as deep as u allow it. the tough part is not how to cope with your sadness but how to learn from your sadness.
the way to fall in love: fall but dont fall flat. be consistent but don't force share but dont be unfair. understand and try not to be overly demanding. you can be sad but dont keep your sadness
it is painful to see someone that you love being happy with someone else but it will be more painful if the person you love is not happy being with you.
love hurts when you part with your loved one. it hurts even more when you are forgotten by your loved one. but it will hurt most when someone that you love doesnt know how you truly feel.
the saddest part in life is to find someone and fall im love, only to realise that he/ she is not meant for you, and you have wasted a lot of time for someone who doesn't appreciate it. if he/she is not "worth it" now, he/ she will never be "worth it" a year from now, or even 10 years down the road. So, let him/ her go...

Omg! Its so true! So painfully true!
whoa! it struck such a poignant chord
Something that probably takes a lifetime to experience, savour, interpret and learn.
J, are you training Selvi up to be a world-class bahasa-English translator?! That is a lot. The first logical entry to appear on your blog had to be selvi's translation... heh.
hey hey! i'm giving her practice ok! anyway, my blogs aren't meant to be logical. heh.
