"You can't force love, I realized. It's there or it isn't. If it's not there, you've got to be able to admit it. If it is there, you've got to do whatever it takes to protect the ones you love."
— Richelle Mead
For many things that I have read about, this is the truest.
I sleep late. When I sleep earlier than 22:00 hrs, the tendency is that, I am awaken by the silence of the wee hours. Reading until my eyes grew really tired has become a habit. It works for me, with the exeption of last night.
Siblings always have this weird connection with each other, I believe. I know that right now, my sister is in battle with her emotions. In our recent chats, she told me that she wanted to get out of her marriage. For so long now, I know she does. She told me that she had fallen out of love for her husband. The problem: two adorable boys.
When we were younger, I have heard mom and dad argue many times. Some of them aren't even arguments at all. They were fights. At one time, I asked mom to leave dad. So cruel for a nine-year old me to say, but as I can see, their relationship is no longer working out. Mom could have taken her chance when she had the opporunity. Yet, the pride of keeping a family no matter what was too much that she would rather live with someone she does not even like anymore.
Social dictates and the kids. Those were always the reasons, when they shouldn't be. Of course no man is an island, but feigning love to keep situations socially acceptable is living a life of imprisonment. What authority do I have to say this? Been trapped and I know exactly how it feels like.
The decision to break free is never easy. Yet, it is how we are supposed to live. Whether or not people will agree with me on this, but once you cannot find love where you are anymore, find it. Break a heart and free yourself.
