Jack and Jill

They say every Jack has his Jill. In Korean, we have a similar old saying, "Every shoe has its pair." Well, it appears that some of us are neither shoes nor Jack (or Jill). The former is most likely true because you are a human being, and as for the latter, I guess it's because you're not from an Anglophone nation. I suppose you might be Jacques or ... whatever the equivalent of Jill is in French. OK, so I started babbling a bit. Back to the subject, then, shall we?


I'll save my breath for this posting, for I suppose it's a topic only too commonly discussed among the billions of lonesome singles out there. I guess the aim is to babble about my current status and just leave off some sort of uplifting comment just so that I can make some good out of this blog. But really, it's pretty much pointless.

For me, one of the most compelling reasons that makes me crave a relationship is not simple loneliness, but a form of insecurity. In a relationship, one has someone to count on for encouragement and intimate interest. It pulls you out of the gray myst of negligence from the all too cold and ignorant society. However, such motivations for a relationship, ironically enough, can become a prime cause of the said relationship's failure. In this case, my insecurity will begin to create a gap between me and my partner, as I grow unsatisfied by my partner's level of encouragement and interest. As a result, our patience would grow thin, and the relationship will come to a crumbling end.

The above was merely an example that I can cite from my previous relationships, upon a brief analysis. The motivations behind everyone's longings may differ from one another, but I suspect that there is a purpose behind the root of every single person's "loneliness". It may be healthy or not, but be aware that if your motivation for seeking and entering a relationship are not dealt with wholesomely, you may come out hurt and disappointed.

I suppose this entry was more to console myself than others, but that's the very purpose of blogging, don't you think? It's a paradoxical method of simultaneously talking to yourself, to nobody, and to the entire world.

Do you know what happened to the pair?

"Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after."

Watch your steps ;-)
