When you are with someone that you love, you gotta make some sacrifices, adjustments, and so on. No, the definition of love isn't about these; it's about being someone who makes me feel contempt, whether it be monetary or must be by mental. To me, mental health is the factor, not the monetary one.
Being in love doesn’t mean we will be adjusting on and on, nope. It doesn’t mean that we will be sacrificing one after another. We crave good days, moments, things that we can cherish, understanding, and happiness. But often, things don't go as we expect, maybe we do overexpect things as well that never meet the reality, or could be hard to get.
Today, I was coming back from the office, and saw a couple on the local bus. They got down near an area that is filled with restaurants, parks, and places that are ideal for couples to hang out. The fun fact is, usually I haven’t seen any couples that are well-dressed, out of hangouts in local buses. Like, I couldn’t just digest the matter, it's not like they can't afford, or anything like that, you know what I mean. They could, I can guess that from their dress up or so, also the area they got down is kinda pricey as well.
Here, the factor is convenience. The road they used, for that area, buses are convenient. The same distance on that road in CNG or Uber, you will need to pay 10x the fare. No rickshaw in those areas, rickshaws are the national transportation for couples, joking.
Unlike others, “Eww, I can't ride in local buses, so congested and cheap.” Seen many people, and they are always like this, only what they are comfortable with. I will never try something else out of my comfort zone.
Wait a minute, I am not pushing anyone out of their comfort zone, nor telling everyone to go for cheap stuff. The thing I am trying to portray is, some will go for that, maybe they have that understanding, when they get down, they hold hands and start to walk slowly, so beautiful!
This was just an example; there are underlying stories. Stories that I have experienced a few stories as well. And so this tiniest one sparkled inside me. I was like, “Damn, how beautiful the couple is!” I have spent days like this as well. Not because they travelled via local bus, I have highlighted, I brought the matter up because I felt wholesome when I saw the couple walking holding hands. Simply this thing that made the whole thing beautiful.
Nowadays, love or relationships they become one kind of trade on the balance. Both sides see what they have to offer. Both are blind with their own hunger; no one actually feels the spiritual aspects, and so the increasing violence and disturbing stuff is going on. No one is really in love; they are just in some kind of illusions, a trend like I must have a boyfriend/girlfriend, they no longer want a soul mate with whom I will be living the rest of my life, my companion towards the good or bad.
So, that's all I had to say. Something different sparkled that is kinda hard to notice around. Countless people, countless couples we came across here and there, only a few are the true ones that sometimes we too get to see.
