Relationship (Week 6)

A friend of mine is frequently worried about her relationship with her boyfriend over the summer. She lives in Vancouver, but she comes back to Taiwan in summer. Her boyfriend claims that he had been pretending to be love with her for over 7 months. He believes that it's time to end their relationship. She doesn't want to break up with her boyfriend, so she's struggling. She ponders and complains that she shouldn't have been in a relationship if she had known that it won't last. It sounds like a typical chick-lit movie, yet it always happens in real life. Through her chagrin, I start to wonder whether boyfriend/girlfriend is worth of that much trouble. Love is like a snakebite, a venom spreading through the veins, yet love can be a sunset with a blaze of colors. It's amazing to feel loved, yet it's irritating to spend so much time worrying about relationship. Instead of vexing, I would rather spend time to discover and develop my interests, listen to music, or watch a movie.
