Why can't you just be happy?!

For once, be happy for me! That's all I'm asking for... I don't need to be splashed with ice-cold water at the very beginning.

I'm currently contented (make that VERY contented) with what I have and who I'm with. So with him and I being in the early stages of it all, I don't need anyone to keep reminding me that it won't last, it's just puppy love, it's just yada yada yada.

Nobody has the right to make such a comment or judgement because so far, I haven't come across anyone who's the "undisputed expert of relationship problems". So unless you've that title under your belt, BACK OFF!

He doesn't call me everyday and neither does he sms me 24/7 to check out on me. But that's exactly what I like about him. He gives me my own private time with my friends, my family and most importantly, myself. I don't need to hear his voice every second of the day to know that he cares. Afterall, the things that he does for me outshines a million lines of repetitive love-lines like, "I love you".

Everybody and anybody can go on saying, "I love you, I miss you, I can't without you". These cliche kinda talk is so adolescent. In fact, it is being used so often that it has lost it's true meaning TOTALLY.

So no thank you, I don't wanna be a part of that. I don't wanna go through the same phase and end up in the same state as these people have.

He's having exams now. Which is part of the reason why nobody sees me messaging him or giving him calls to check on him.

Firstly, the guy's studying! Why would I want to disrupt his momentum when his paper is just the very next day?! Not only would I be irritating him, it'll be unfair to him as well because he didn't bug every 10 seconds during my examination period, so the least I can do is to return the favour right?

Secondly, it is not the quantity of time we spend together that counts. I'd go for quality instead!

For example, we could be spending the whole day with each other but most of the time, we're arguing over mundane stuff like why this party didn't call the other or why this party went out with his friends without informing the other. Either that or, we could just meet up for 10 pathetic minutes but whatever takes place within that short time frame is irreplaceable.

WHICH WOULD YOU CHOOSE?

So what if we don't appear holding hands in school?

So what if we're keeping it under the wraps?

Does a relationship need to have a whole lot of physical activity for it to be considered a "true relationship"? That sounds an awful lot like lust instead. And does a relationship need to be announced and made known to the whole of the student population for it to be considered "official"? I don't see a point of having to do such a thing.

What?! The more people know about it, the longer our relationship will last meh?

If someone finds out about it, good for that person. If nobody every discovers it, no biggie. We'll still go about our business; we'll still hang out, we'll still call each other, we'll still let each other know that we care.

See?! It doesn't make much of a difference whether or not we "go public".

Yeah, some of you might say, "You both just started out. Wait until you've encountered problems and then your relationship will never be the same again".

My parents got separated for two years back when I was still a kid. But low and behold (praise the Lord!), they're back together and their bond as husband and wife has never been stronger.

Nobody said anything about a two person relationship being easy. Arguments and disagreements are inevitable but hey, I'm determined to prove to ya'll that just because many couples break up due to "irreconcilable differences", it doesn't prove anything that mine will end up just like theirs.

So gimme a break alright? I was the one who willingly took up this challenge to pursue happiness with him. I don't see how us being together needs to be scrutinised from the start until the end of the day. If my folks have no objections to it, the rest of you had better jolly well shut up.
