Cupid’s arrow or Pinocchio's?
In the spirit of Valentines...heres another love thinker.
When we fall in love and we actually fall, is it Cupid or is it Pinocchio who hit us? It is love really or is it the lies that got us?
In the eyes of a cynical like me, the only way to give love a chance is to get past through the lies. It’s like mining gold...it’s rare and you have to go through all the dirt and shit just to get your shiny little prize...and even then you would still have to process it 'till it become the strong, polished jewel you want it to be.
It’s a long and exhausting ordeal and sometimes what you get out of it is not even worth it. The sad part though is when you actually decide its worth all the hassle but since you became too tired of digging through, you don't have enough energy or zeal or even enthusiasm to enjoy it. And sadder even is when you decide you don’t want to have anything to do with gold and jewelries anymore. Sometimes, the lies are just too hard to separate from the truths that they somewhat become one and the same and no matter how hard you try to trust, no matter how hard you try to separate the ore, its stuck and your stuck.
Pinocchio's nose is too long now I'm sure. Worst thing is, there is very little you can do to cut it off. You can't control how long that cursed nose will grow, people will keep telling lies and you will keep believing lies or keep telling yourself lies and others for all its worth. What you can do is run as fast and as far and you can go and shut the door behind and hide under the covers and eat your chocolates and hope that the bitter sweet confection will make you feel better and less stupid and hope that the door will lock itself and that you won’t have to open it again until Cupid hits you finally.
Fairy tales and Valentines. Love and Mining. Chocolates and Lies. Stupid-ass romance.
On that same note, I had a pretty good Valentine’s Day. It's not real holiday, never been and maybe never will be but somehow this recent one had been special. I got more than I bargained for and that’s good enough for me...for now at least. Hope you had a good one too.
