Life is a very cruel, cruel game. The term dog-eat-dog is very much applicable. But what’s really downheartening is, you meet someone who you thought is the best person in the world, pouring all your love and care to him, but it turns out that you’ve made a VERY huge mistake. Try as you might, you can’t turn back the hands of time to retrace your steps. In that point, you’d be asking questions like ‘Is it an inborn curse to lose?’ or even say ‘Why does it always have to be me? Why not my neighbor?’

If only Life has a feeling of it’s own, it would laugh; cruel, harsh, and heartless. But instead, Life is a big puppeteer and all of us are like a million Pinocchios. With string in its hand, we’d be trained to walk, talk, run, etc. on the face of the earth. We’d be walking up and down the street and meet a lot of other Pinocchios. Soon, we would meet the Pinocchio of our dreams and fall head over heels over them, oblivious that Puppeteer is creating a game of its own. So, while we are overly drunk at the love we are feeling to the Pinocchio we think is our future spouse, the right Pinocchio passes by. Then when the time comes you become somber and become aware of reality, you’d realize that your own Pinocchio isn’t the right one for you. The real Pinocchio for you is also suffering to another wrong puppet of his dreams. Damn

What made Life do something cruel and daunting like that? It’s like it doesn’t care about what we feel at all. The happiness we longed to feel and experience is now far away from our grasps. Well, it may be physically near but it’s like a star you can see but you cannot reach. Maybe you’d think this is crazy but we do lose something we haven’t even owned. Maybe, destiny re-arranged our heart’s possessions and played a prank, well, Life told it to.

Sometimes, you’d just want to close your eyes and think that all of this is a big, big, joke. Sleep away the tears and the pain you feel inside but the moment you wake up, the pain is still there, tremendous pain. No amount of consolation can take it away. It doubles, it triples, it even quadruples…with that, you might just want to sleep forever.

Crazy…what a crazy life we have. You love the wrong person, the right one comes along. Tremendous, overwhelming pain succumbs you to forget the happiness you once dreamed off…you feel doubt because you thought you have loved someone you thought you’d love forever until the game is over and you realize you lost… It is like a disease you thought was measly and unimportant you neglect it. Until it is written all over your face that the truth had just passed you by.

The cure?

The hugs and love from the right Pinocchio…

disclaimer: this applies ONLY to those who feels the same way. Don’t blabber at me saying ‘Ooh, I already found my TRUE love and I am not regretting anything!!!!’ Well, I HAVEN’T FOUND MINE YET! And maybe 52% of the human population too!!!!!
