So I've to admit that lately I got into the addiction of watching this infamous primetime tv show called "Gossip Girl" which involves a bunch of teenagers who come from elite families living on the upper east side of NY. To give a gist of it, this piece of fiction involves a whole lot of drama which keeps all the characters tangled to each other; and this is where it caught my attention.
Looking back into my life and the lives of others living around me, made me realize that our lives are no better than the fiction which airs on tv every week. Each of our lives are so tangled with other in the most complex way that we could literally compete with the complexity of a DNA structure. In the serial, there are few protogonists which drive the episode and then there are few who make the show entertaining enough to keep it going. Each one of us seeks drama in their lives. Consciously or subconsciously .. we are crave to have the drama going, people have different approaches to involve every bit of drama in their lives. One way or the other its there and we all like it. Many may not agree with me but this how most of our lives work. Some are open about it and some like to hide it under their sheets.
A section of this drama is about forbidden love - the feelings being confessed mutually and yet it is not meant to be. It is either all or its none, "none" being the important part of it, as it usually ends being none. What flabbergasts me about this drama , and again I could be totally old-fashioned and unrealistic if you must say to such concepts, is how easily people can move on to once confessed love. How easily are people ready to give up on love, hope and most importantly their own feelings (which either they completely misunderstood or that they never believed in it). I see it happening everywhere... people confessing that they like each other and here starts the whole charade of it,for the lack of better words. One enjoys the initial phases if you must say, of the relationship, and enjoys it to a point wherein nothing is expected out of them and espescially as long as it does not require testing times. When the moment arrives of showing how much you really care, love and are committed to what you once said you believed in, people start walking out of it coz a) they are either tooo scared from the level of committment it needs or b) they find it easier to blame it on the other person saying "I was ready to give my 100% but that wouldn't have helped coz he/she wasn't willing to" or c) coz it just might require from their end to really commit to something and that might really show their true colors - fear of commitment, which again is a very common thing observed these days.
After completely deviating from topic of forbidden love - in the end all I can think of saying is, "sometimes it is never meant to be, and it is better that way" .
