L.O.V.E. Test.

When you've fell for someone, would you purposely say something that hurts only to test the person's patience or to seek for own self-security? If you really do so, you're just thoughtless and selfish. Yes, seriously.

Thoughtless, why? 'Cause by doing so, you've downgraded your image inside the person's heart. And more importantly, a piece of your precious credit has been given away. If you were to ask any experienced and mature human out there, he would say it was challenging to gain a bit of trust and love from someone, on the other hand, very easy to lose. Like a traveler who is fortunate enough to get some water in the middle of a boiling desert, instead of treasuring it like diamonds, you simply think luck will hit you again, thus, wash your face and hands with all the water in one shot. Isn't it too cruel _ not to the water, but to yourself? Would you think of the moment when you're dying of thirst and there's not even one drop left for your burning throat? You will apologize for your earlier act of madness. You will beg. You will pray. You will do anything to get a small sip of fresh water. Well, sometimes you're lucky enough to be forgiven. It just doesn't happen all the time though. Game over.

... And selfish _ this is pretty obvious, no? You're practically hurting someone you love to reinforce your insecure self. It's not the way to go, definitely. Some are understanding and patient enough to take it several times after which, they collapse in pain. Some are just so sensitive and fragile that they break down right on the spot in vain. So tell me, would you really achieve what you aim for initially? To some extent, yes, the more painful it feels, the more successful your test is. After that, would you be happy watching the ending of the show when the person either is emotionally hurt or sweeps away the rest of you and move on to a better choice? It's then too late for your utter regret no matter how hard you try to express it. What has gone is gone.

In short, when you have special feelings for someone, just go ahead and explore the little world shared by both of you. There might be awkwardness. There might be quarrels. There might be disappointment. There might be good and bad stuff. But at least, you've stepped ahead and tried instead of hiding within your own tower and shooting the opposite one.

Open up. Give. And Receive.

LOADS OF LOVE.
