As i sweep away the cobwebs from this musky lil corner which i've always deposited my random thoughts and ideals, i would like to tell everyone a story about a girl named Jenny.
Jenny believes in true love, the other, your better half - before self, the sacrifices she makes are unlike many of the female species i know of late.
I haven't seen Jenny for a while now, back then while i was at a lil continent far far away, this girl with the sweetest smile was a carefree soul, a lil Miss Independent perhaps, she had the world at her feet, she was pretty, she had a loving boyfriend, yet her smile was always so radiant because she loved how her life was.
Carefree, independence and above all, she had love.
The few times that she'll visit, Jenny always brings a smile to this emotionally erratic alien. She always seem so wise and theres a reason why now that i think about it. Whenever the heart was in doubt, this girl would have an answer.
Seasons came and past us by, one fine day i realised Jenny had given up what i had thought given her smile the brilliance it radiated.
Jenny was madly in love with someone she had just met and already she was ranting about spending the rest of her life with him. The wintery winds and cool spring breezes now hinted of a different scent, i couldn't believe the grin of a carefree soul was now replaced by the gentle hint of a smile of a different kind.
Ahhhh..how can i describe this? I can't.
Many moons had past without ever seeing her smile again, until lately i caught whiff of her lovely smile again. This time i had to seek, the reasons behind those smiles.
Being as wise as she was, she illuminated my thoughts as she spoke.
"I was worried i'll fall in love with someone that would be poor, so in his stead, in these few years before i had met him, i've saved the earnings that i've made. So i may get married with the man i love, even if he was penniless."
There were other gems of wisdom Jenny shared with me this time we met, some i couldn't even transcribe into words.
All i could do was be in awe of how this girl had found love and defined love in her own way and i was speechless at her selflessness.
Indeed, the greatest love of all is putting others before self.=)
It was a funny monday, one moment i couldn't find myself or relate to how love should be. The moment this girl spoke, i realised how and what love really is.
Question is, how many of us could really love like that?
It was no wonder she's the favourite girl of a man with the initials. F.G.
And all i could do is wait.....
