Grenade

It’s been awhile since I last blogged, so bare with me. Just awhile ago, I was listening to Bruno Mars’ new song called Grenade which of course, explains to title of my blog. Anyway, when I first heard it I didn’t really like it. I thought it was rubbish to be honest, but then I clicked a link that lead me to my friend’s blog and on her blog was that specific video so I thought, why not give it another listen? Then it hit me just like that, wow! This song is deep. I mean, it’s about this guy who is completely and utterly in love with a woman who does return the feeling back which is kind of sad especially because he would “catch a grenade for her” it’s not often that you find guys nowadays who are actually committed and devoted to a person. In fact, it’s rare to find anybody who does, agree? Reason being we’re all afraid of getting hurt. Has anybody ever realized that no amount of pain can cause as much pain as heartache? It’s as if once you have your heart broken it’ll never be fixed again, of course you’re able to mend it but there will always be a piece of your heart that belongs to someone who isn’t even yours anymore. I guess, in the end it’s not about saving yourself from heartache. In the end it’s about taking risks, being brave. Because to be in love is like putting your heart on the table and hoping that the other person would not stab it with a knife. Courage, risk, and bravery, that’s what love is all about. To whomever out there who has loved someone so dearly but those feelings are not returned, I give you the utmost respect because to do that takes a lot of courage. So to everyone out there, if you know it’s love and it’s real, don’t run away from it but instead, embrace it. There is not guarantee that you will not get hurt but hey, that that starts sweet ends bitter and that that starts bitter ends sweet. I’m going to wrap this post up with a quote of my own.

“Life is like a box of cigarettes, you never know when it’s going to be your last stick.”
