interlude: flight



the difference between flying and falling
lies in one’s awareness of his capabilities and limitations.

so the next time i love, i will no longer fall.
i shall fly.

that way, if i should hit the ground,
it would be because
my feet missed the stability of the earth.

    @thecurioscat ~ thanks! good luck to all of us. haha

    @red ~ aren't we all? problem is i'm a romantic disguised as a jaded person. but definitely next time i go into something with someone, i won't allow myself to fall so hard. it's hard to find someone who can catch you.

    *emo overload*

    "Love should not be a heavy feeling
    It should not make you suffer
    Love should make you happy
    It is a smile in the heart
    It makes you come alive
    Love makes you want to fly."
    - Sharon Cuneta in P.S. I Love You

    Wala lang. Feel ko lang magpaka-Janice De Belen a.k.a quotation queen. Hehe! :P

    Falling in love is easy; it's falling out of love that sucks. Happy weekend! :)

    oooh, nice one. never thought of it that way.

    next time, i'll say "i'm flying in love" instead of "i'm falling in love".

    i don't think that makes sense. haha.

  25. citybuoyJanuary 18, 2010 3:12 PM

    haha when you put it that way, it doesn't really sound nice. sounds like something an addict would say. haha

  26. red the modJanuary 18, 2010 11:42 PM

    Haha. Ok lang yun. Ako din naman. I often sound jaded or disheartened when I tackle ardor issues. My past few posts have been replete with emotionality. Malapit na kasi ang Valentine's, and it makes us romantics feel all the more self-aware.

    But the thing with love is that it knows no bounds or limits. When we fall in love, we deny all boundaries and we are aware that we will fall, yet we fly like the moth heading for its death into the fiery candlelight or like Icarus captivated by the power of flight thus falling to his doom in the bottom of the sea.

    Love is indeed like flight. We fly high for a moment, and we shall forever treasure that moment until we fall once again into the deep face of reality.

    -in short, love sucks- :P

    (wla lang, nag emo ako. toinks)

    welcome to my blog! :D visiting your site now.

    i guess yun yun eh. it's just that i'm pretty sure there's a way to fall in love without being so self-destructive. anyway, time lang naman makakapagsabi kung magagawa ko siya. hehe
