Love,
Today, I didn’t cook. I ate bread and drank soursop juice for lunch. For dinner, I got food from my neighbors; it was nasi kebuli with chicken.
My activities today included writing an article, watching a movie, playing games, and joining a webinar at night. Kinda busy? Maybe. Hehe.
My mental state was kind of good. Oh, I fixed my terrace lamp because it was almost dead. I fixed it using a ladder.
Today, I watched an interview with Takeru Satoh on YouTube, and it showed his personality. That made me think: who do I really like? Is it Takeru as a person or Takeru as the character he portrays in movies? It made me think deeply about “love.”
Do you know, when we meet someone and fall in love, we don’t really know which side of them we love—is it their true self or the side we expect? Do you know what I mean? Like the imaginary side we hope the person has.
Actually, it’s really hard not to have expectations of someone. For example, when we see an artist in a movie who is gentle and soft-spoken, we expect them to be the same in real life.
It’s kind of similar in relationships. When we meet someone who seems gentle, we expect them to have the same personality we imagine. So if they don’t, we still hope they will one day. But it’s not good. You won’t get what you expect, and it just hurts you.
But I know it’s really hard to avoid this. That’s why right now, I try not to have any expectations in my life, especially of people.
That’s it for today. See you again tomorrow if there is one.
