I just finished a book by Gabrial Garcia marquez and it let to different feelings and thoughts. In fact I think that if you do not feel anything or think of different things while reading a book, you shouldn’t read it at all. So I give a chance to the writer reading max 40 pages, if before that I still stay untouched, not intrigued and indifferent, I don’t bother.
Here is what I came up with….
He spent years watching her and going through the different events of her life. He saw her getting married, he watched her children grow up, he discovered how happy she was without him…. But no matter what, he never gave up. He never got disappointed and the fact that she never noticed him made no difference…
She couldn’t even imagine that someone can love so strong, so pure, so addicted and for so long. She had no idea, because although she lived a happy life she did not know what it was to love and be loved. As opposed to that he didn’t know what happiness is, but there was no one in the world, who knew better than him what love was, how it felt and what it could do to life…
If she only knew what she was missing during all those 50 + years…
But that’s life I guess. Making tricks to people and watching how they overcome the time, what they make with their lives and where they go to…
Lonely hearts pass each other on a street not knowing that they are looking for each other since years already. They do not know that the person who just passed without looking at their side, was the one they dreamed of on those sleepless nights when the loneliness was their only friend and lover. Just one second… just a twist of their heads…turn around and your whole life will change. But no! They pass by and continue the search. Some will find their halves, many won’t. The ones who won’t will try to be satisfied with what they can find to substitute. Some will never be satisfied…
Many people have to meet several substitutes before they reach the real thing, but once they do they know that all that was worth it.
Meanwhile, try to enjoy the process and don’t let the life pass you by just because love hasn’t reached you yet. There are many things in life, not that good but good enough to feel and do. Open yourself to experiments, turn around and look at the person you pass and do not be afraid to open yourself to new people. Who knows, maybe that unnoticeable, modest and “grey” person in ridiculous glasses is the one who you need most. Maybe ….
