Sad But True

just had supper with an old friend i got to know since secondary school. we went different paths after that though - he went to a junior college and i headed for a polytechnic.. but that's not the point. he's one of the few secondary school mates that i still keep in touch with, and he's seen me go through some shit, i've seen him go through some shit, and maybe we've gone through some shit together. (like the damned 4 years of suffering in SJI.) well anyway, that's not the point.

the point is, that he recently got himself hooked up with this girl. foreign blood too i must say. french. and so i was thinking that's pretty much quite a nice thing. i've been single and enjoying life on my own for as long as i can remember, but every now and then, there's this little lingering feeling for someone. but that's not the point either. now the reason he called me out to supper was because suddenly he's pissed at his significant other, or he had just pissed her off also. either way, he was complaining. complaining about how terrible life was to suddenly be with someone again.. about how all these commitments suddenly come in once more.

that made me think. how much of my time am i willing to devote to someone? we get lonely during our darkest days, but being with someone sometimes makes our brightest days darker. heh not all the time, but yeah sometimes commitment is a bitch. sometimes you just want to be on your own. in the end, it's probably about having more good days than bad ones, and choosing to be single or attached could very well change that result.

ponder ponder ponder.

in the meantime however, it's back to something that definitely made my days brighter.
