i just read karen cheng's blog, (linked from mao's blog)
and her latest blog post talks about love and marriage.
she writes:
"Everyday he tells me how much he loves me, why he loves me, why he loves his life with me. Sometimes it’s silly, sometimes it’s random, and sometimes it brings a tear to my eye.
It’s been 6 years, and I’m one lucky woman."
and it's really heartwarming to see that,
but when i look at our local context, i cant help but sigh,
because compliments, affirmation, edification comes hard.
how many times do you tell your loved ones 'i love you' and 'you are really great'?
or how many times have you heard someone say that to you?
these words shouldnt warrant from the things you do,
but it should come just by being.
not just from companions,
but more so from friends.
i think this asian society can do a little more with words of love.
honestly.
we all need it.
