"Relationships-of all kinds-are like sand held in your hand. Held
loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute
you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles
through your fingers. You may hold onto some of it, but most will be
spilled. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and
freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold
too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is
lost." - from http://en.thinkexist.com

I read this the first time from the book, Chicken Soup for Soul when I was in high school. I felt so down back then and I remember borrowing this book from my aunt. That was 1998, and I could say that my heart was healed after reading the book. Seven years later, I think I need to read that book again. I’m just gonna drop by at Powerbooks today to get a copy.

I’m a sucker for love stories… seen, read, or heard. Last friday, I was crying while watching the final episode of Sassy Girl Chunyang. I don’t know I just can’t help it. I envy the characters… I envy their passion. "In our next life, we would still be together". All I could do is sigh while I watched them exchange those lines.

Last night, I read this story posted on my friendster bulletin about a boy and a girl on their 7th anniversary. I don’t care if it’s cheesy… I envy them…how they stayed madly in-love for the last 7 years. Fiction or not, I envy them. Oh, how I wish life is this simple.

Going back to the relationship quote, it made me think..
am I holding on too tight? loosely? am I holding you back from your priorities?

I just had a bad dream last night. My eyes are all puffy when I woke up. It seemed that I was crying the whole 8 hours that I was asleep.
