"How would a person appreciate your sacrifices if they can't even see you as part of their life?"
- Halcyon EvenfallIt took me two weeks to decide.
Should I still pursue her? Even all of
my fellow aikidoka are already
making a bet about how long before I
surrender and stop pursuing her.
Nevertheless, I will continue but my
resolve has already started to falter so
I still didn't know what to do.
Everybody thought that I shouldn't
waste my time for her because it
wouldn't work and I deserve better. I
knew they worry about me but I
didn't like what they told me. I'll
prove them wrong but even I didn't
have any good expectations from
continuing it.
Rather than being myself, I think it
would be better if I became selfish. I
should test the waters first before
doing anything else. She's became
annoyed at me for no reason and she
treated me diffefently from her
friends. I am already in a critical part
where I should decide to continue it
or not. If I continue it may be painful
in the end. If not, I'll save myself from
the pain. I pray that whatever I decide
to do, I wouldn't not have any regrets.
It has been three sessions of training
and she was still a no show. It's
somehow making me feel
unmotivated in my aikido training.
Because I was lonely as I think about
her, I accidentally landed on my knee
which really put a hurt on me. I didn't
train taekwondo even if I really
wanted to and I went home.
As lonely as I can be, I still continued
going to class focusing on my studies.
The world was so dull and it was like
in monochrome as I walk in the
campus then I saw her. She seemed to
be deep in thought or she might be
trying to avoid eye contact but I still
waved my hand. She looked at me,
smiled and waved back.
The colors came back to my life again.
I felt joy all of a sudden but then I
realized about my previous thoughts
about her. My emotions got mixed up.
In the end, I still can't decide but one
thing for sure, is that I'm going to
have regrets in the end.
