Chilly New Year
Hazy beginning
January fog

Old street piano
rough keys
owner says back off

Shriek of terror
shadowy figure emerges
Kitty cat

Time is running out
No other choice
Fills in C

Avoiding my swing
The baseball
Reads my mind

I'M IN LOVE WITH DA HO HO!

My idea of a perfect relationship is when I can be comfortable with my partner and enjoy spending time with him or her. I realize a lot of people struggle and stress over achieving the perfect relationship, which I believe is unnecessary. If we do not enjoy being with our partners during a relationship, then what is the point of being in one? The funny thing is I have never been in a serious relationship, yet. If I ever find a boyfriend or a girlfriend, I look forward to having a good time being myself instead of trying to recreate a romantic atmosphere.

Relationships are very important to me not because it proves my worth in society or my social status, but it means my heart has made a connection with a potential soulmate. It is also the stage before marriage so I consider potential mates very strictly and seriously. I don’t look for someone solely based on their attractiveness, but also someone who has a charismatic personality.

However, relationships these days have lost its meanings and significance. A plethora of people I have witnessed think of relationships as a temporary pleasure seeker, which honestly disgusts me. One thing I have realized about relationships is that a lot of people believe physical intimacy is a bigger priority over emotional intimacy. Sex is a beautiful life miracle, but it is abused way too much, especially when no emotional connections are made prior to the happy times.

Break ups are even worse, especially when the couple has invested so much time and effort to maintain that relationship. I have noticed that less serious couples who break up go through less emotional pain and heart break than serious relationship couples. It means that someone’s heart has invested in the relationship but the separation made him or her feel robbed of something very dear.

Curtain Calls

After the joyous celebration of Christmas, New Years is right around the corner to conclude the year. However, before I jump into 2015, I look back and reflect on how I have matured and developed as a human being. Did I complete any resolutions set at the beginning of 2014? Yes. For example, my introverted nature was almost completely demolished as I resolved to be more outgoing. I said hi to people in the hallway, I engaged in conversations with other people, and most importantly, I finally became confident enough to talk to females. Yes I admit, I had many problems with girls back then, it was a constant struggle for me to even say hi to any girl, let alone ask a crush out on a date. My sheepish nature brought upon many rejections and I believe that this bitter defeat helped me become a more confident person. Confucius once said that there are three ways to gain wisdom: First, by reflection, which is the noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third, by experience, which is the bitterest. So I guess I took the bitterest route. *Sigh* Anyways I believe I made a plethora of fun memories because I established close friends whom I can depend on. Which lets me close the curtains to my year of 2014 in satisfaction.
