Love & Commitment
10:15 AMSome part of the world are currently heartbroken, following the news of Zayn Malik & Perrie Edwards cancelled engagement. I am not a huge-super-fans of One Direction, nor am I for Little Mix, but this makes me realized that nothing will ever guarantee a happily ever after. It has been stated that they have dated for 4 years, and engaged for 2 years, which kinda get me shocked as well, how can someone have a partner, someone they really care about for so long, and all of a sudden trying to survive life alone? It may sounds exaggerated, but having someone around you for years and suddenly lost them surely is not an easy thing.
It just seems that on and on, the value of a relationship and a commitment has started to fade. A fellow friend of mine has to survive struggling losing a loved one, after the boyfriend decided to cut all connection without a reason. My young brother's close friend also experiences breakup and heartaches, which triggers him to ask me a question, why people broke up when they already decide to be together? Why all of a sudden?
Seeing couples that have been with each other for so long, but ended up being strangers, sometimes also got my faith shaken. At one point they were so in love with each other, doing all the sweetest things, and were once a "relationship goal", and all of a sudden everything changes. I often got scared of the possibility of experiencing heartbreaks, because real life is not as good as fairytales.
There is this story of an old couple, who were asked how to manage their relationship for a long time. They answered that it is because they were raised with the knowledge, that if something is broken, you should try to fix it instead of throwing it away. If a light bulb is no longer working, you should change the bulb instead of moving to another house. But is it possible to be applied to a relationship? To try your best to cope with a person? Or if it is your destiny and if you're not meant to be then it will not work anyway?
