It's great to be home! I miss my comfortable room, my dad's silly jokes and my mother's nagging. Haha! Living in hall does make you appreciate your family more.
I came across this booklet called "The Art of Dating: What men and women should know". It's published by the SDU and provides many books and resources to give people advice on how to date.
Hmm... I won't pretend that I'm not the least bit amused when I saw it. I mean, why should there be an instruction guide on where to turn to for dating advice? It's just... weird to me.
But anyway, I found some really meaningful quotes on love inside the book, some of which are really sweet, such as these:
Love is a canvas furnished by Nature and embroidered by imagination. - Voltaire
We can only learn to love by loving. - Iris Murdoch.
Love is friendship set to music. - E. Joseph Crossman
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind. - William Shakespeare
And my favourite is this:
Love cannot endure indifference. It needs to be wanted. Like a lamp, it needs to be fed out of the oil of another's heart, or its flame burns low. - Henry Ward Beecher
How true it is, that everyone needs to be loved and that loving others requires effort and hard work.
To me, Love is a choice. That means no matter how unlikeable someone is, as long as you make the choice to love him/her, it is possible. It's not dependent on circumstances nor events.
Of course, this means there's plenty of hard work and patience and understanding involved, but isn't that precisely why such a love is so precious?
Easier said than done, of course...
But...
Nothing is impossible, especially with Him...
