This blog entry is specially for 2 people, E & WonderWoman... though I hope we'll all get Real... (read below to understand)

To E, because she has taken a very Big and Bold step (well, at least it seems that way to me) towards her happiness!

To WonderWoman, because I hope she will take her own Big and Bold step towards that someone... hehe... ;)
And here's a bit more for you.. though it would have gone much nicer with my other blog entry on "Reasoning out reasonable reasons for the unreasonable..." on 19 Oct. But anyway...

"The heart has its reasons which reason does not know."
Pascal

and by the same guy again...

"People are usually more convinced by reasons they discover themselves than by those found by others."
Pascal in "Pensees"

So while I'll still try to convince you of you-know-what, ;) I hope you wun try so hard to counter-reason... haha...

To all other people, just read and enjoy... taken from my social psych textbook, personal postscipt of author David Myers, though he didn't say where he got this passage from...

When someone "loves you for a long, long time," explained the wise, old Skin Horse to the Velveteen Rabbit, "not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."

"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.

"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real, you don't mind being hurt."

"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"

"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't often happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."

Hmm... My naivety in love feeds on such material...hahah...
