Haha I've got a feeling this might turn out to be one of the weirdest blog posts I've ever written, probably cos I've recently been in another one of those thinking moods I'm so susceptible to when I have nothing to do and I'm about to lump some of my thoughts (mostly disjointed btw) into words xD

Oh man I don't know how to make this sound less awkward...I've been thinking about love! :P Hehe wait disclaimer: I'm writing this post in the capacity of the thoughts of a 16-year-old (teehee I can finally say that now) who has never been in love before and has no experience of being in a romantic relationship, so yeah my view is really limited >< Haha and I'm pretty sure it's a little too early for me to be thinking of such things but sigh can't control where my thoughts drift to :P

Ok anyway, in the middle of my song-listening session yesterday night I just started wondering if, much like the classic Disney princess stories, lyrics of certain love songs are increasing our expectations of love! So many love songs, both old and new, depict love or the feeling of being in love as like this insanely sweet and romantic thing (hahaha I am really really ineloquent in describing emotions just refer to Bruno Mars' or David Choi's lyrics and you'll know what I mean la) so what if, due to prolonged exposure of listening to some of these songs, our expectations of love slowly increase to epic proportions and we end up waiting forever for that perfect person who does all the right things and gives us all the right feelings that these songs (and sometimes music videos) claim that true love brings? I suppose since artists can come up with such poetic lyrics it serves to prove that perhaps they've felt all the things they sing about and thus love really does feel that way, but I don't know...Haha maybe I'm being a bit cynical but it seems a little impossible that everyone will get to experience such an amazing relationship as depicted by many love songs! And what if in the middle of waiting for our own version  of Mr Right, our high expectations of He-Who-Has-Not-Surfaced-Yet renders us blind to someone else whom we've never considered as more than a friend but who can make us as happy as a girl can ever be as long as we give them the chance? Isn't that a far more appealing alternative to waiting for this perfect guy under the perfect conditions (y'know, bumping into an umbrella-wielding guy as you're running to seek shelter from the rain, making eye contact with some dude across the room in a party and feeling all squiggly wiggly, etc) who might never come?

Hehe if you've time to spare read this article: http://thoughtcatalog.com/2012/the-soulmate-you-deserve/ I think it'd be really really nice to experience something like what the article entails, but at the same time, again, how many people will actually be lucky enough to have a perfect relationship like that?

Haha maybe when I'm 20 or 30 I'll end up with a guy who makes me feel all the things the love songs speak of and maybe we'll meet under some cliche circumstance and I'll laugh at my foolish younger self when I read this blog post then, but I'm not keeping my fingers crossed for that! For now I'll just be perfectly happy entertaining the thought of maybe finding someone who loves me as much as I love them sometime in the future, and perhaps then we'll compose our own love song that makes perfect sense ^^

(I kind of hope my parents don't come across this blog post, because then I'll be subjected to yet another talk about how I'm too young to be thinking about love and I'll have to sit there red-faced, insisting that no, I'm not about to sneak out of the house in the middle of the night to have a rendezvous with my imaginary boyfriend anytime soon.)
