love is not like how u read in books or watch in movies

sometimes, reading too many books and watching too many movies are bad for you. why? because you lose your sense of reality. your expectations towards life are unrealistic. your opinions are formed based on life you see in movies or read in books.

i realized now that what movies/books say about love is a dream. in reality, it's not easy and it's different.

in reality, love is:-

• when he/she cooks instant noodle for you, middle of the night when you are hungry.
• when he/she touches your forehead to check whether you are down with fever.
• when he/she carries a heavy bag for you although he/she has to carry his/her own heavy stuff.
  
• when he/she kisses your cheek when you are reading or watching tv or sleeping.
  
• when he/she refrains from provoking you when he/she knows that you had a hard day.
• when he/she holds your hand when crossing roads or drains.
• when he/she hugs you when you feel cold
  
• when he/she surprises you by buying your favourite food
• when he/she companies you to watch a movie he/she dislike
• when he/she shares with you the good things in his/her life
• when he/she does silly gestures to make you laugh
• when he/she tries to understand your irrational fears and push them away
• when he/she shares with you his/her childhood memories, happy or sad.
• when he/she massages your head when you have a headache
• when he/she starts cam-whoring together with you. LOL
• when silence doesn't need to be a barrier between you. a comfortable silence.

ok. i'll stop being lovey dovey here. but.... doesn't books and movies teach you the most unrealistic stuff? for example, there's no such thing as an 24 hours perfect boyfriend/girlfriend. a boyfriend can't be sensitive to his girlfriend's needs all the time. a girlfriend can't be soft and gentle all the time. when a disagreement/argument happens, you don't make up immediately. nor does he comes apologizing all the time.

a relationship needs work. it doesn't just happen to be perfect from nothing. and most of the time, it is not romantic. come on, tell me, who has the time to be romantic most of the time? gosh.

bad movies, bad books. it creates a maya and blurs your perception of real life.

suitable suitor or the wrong one, it's up to you to decide, not standards set by movies/books. your happiness lies in your hands only.

and guys, have a great weekend! TGIF
