The reason why.
"Someone once told me that the power in all relationships lies with whoever cares less." We always want to be the person being ran after at. Be it numerous phone calls or pleas for attention, in the game of love, we always want to be on the receiving end. We always seek power and control in every relationship.
I've learned from this movie which I saw only recently that to have control in a relationship one must care less. It was a brilliant idea. Simple, yet can be very effective. But along with this discovery came a sad realization.
You see it's sad how falling in love is no longer as simple as it used to be. In grade school all you had to do was write a letter on stationary and be honest with your feelings. And sure enough you'd find yourself in a relationship where dreams would be made and promises kept. In high school you could try the love letter trick again. But such innocence and sincerity are often ridiculed and laughed at in those times already. And then the quality of the love stories of your life would go downhill from there.
You become cynical and unimaginative. You lose sincerity, honesty, and romance. You find love but you no longer know the right thing to do with it. You forget how you were when you were only ten years old. You forget how you treated love then.
Ask yourself. How did you treat love then? Was it about you? Was it about him? Or was it about the both of you? Was it about winning? Was it about losing? Or was it about being?
You were never really afraid then. It was going to be just you and him against the world. You were so happy and contented to be just holding his hand. It was all you wanted.
But now things are not as simple anymore. Now you are afraid to commit. Now you are afraid to open up. Now you are afraid to give in. Nothing has changed. You just think this is how being in love should be.
Well it isn't.
Love isn't about fear. Love isn't about hurt. When it comes to love you must always give your all. No reservations. No pathetic attempts to secure your fragile heart. Take a leap! Be the first to call. Be the first to believe in the relationship.
Be the first to say I love you. A happy ending in love will not be served in a silver platter. You have to fight for it, fall for it, and be there for it. So when love comes knocking on your door it's alright not to play it cool. Run at it with a wide smile in your face,
just like when you were a little girl. "And he was right. But power isn't happiness. And I think that maybe happiness comes from caring more about people rather than less." -Connor Mead
