Was flipping through the Feb 2008 copy of Reader's Digest (don't know where the hell did I get it from) and read one of the stories which made me think quite hard. I know I'm not supposed to be doing this when I have so many other work which I ALL haven't started. Never mind!!

It was entitled "My True Love, Sometimes the heart takes unexpected turns" by Aung Linn. It is about a guy who got to know a girl whom he likes a lot but the girl had a fiance then. They became closer to each other and confessed their love.

But soon after the girl decided to leave as the fiance was back. He met another girl but he knew that he was only treating her as a substitute. "She was simply sweet, I thought I could love her" Both got married with the guy having problems with his marriage. After a long time, he started to contact his first love. Apparently his love never died. Then he got a call from his long-forgotten sweetheart who was married and wanted to rekindle the romance.

... ... "I can't forget you, I think about you everyday" ... ...

... ... "Suddenly, everything became clear - this was exactly how I felt about Khin Khin. I had spent my entire married life dreaming about my first love even though she didn't love me." ... ...

... ... "I have finally woken up from the dreams of my first love. I no longer dwell on the past." ... ...

... ... "Although my youthful dreams will never come true, I am finally satisfied with what I have." ... ...

Quotes from "My True Love", Reader's Digest Feb 2008

Life is all about picking up and letting go. Is there really such a thing as "forever"? Can we hold on forever? Though some things may be hard to let go but we have to learn for there will always come a time for us to.

Satisfied with what I have ... ...

I certainly hope I am ... =)
