Courage To Love

Thought of writing about "Courage to Love" in Chinese.
But the Chinese software is really giving me issues.
Hopefully I'm able to translate my thoughts into English accurately...

Recently went to meet up with various friends.
Through conversations, I've discovered that we've all somehow changed.
In one way or another.
In the past, our attitudes and mentality towards love were somewhat different.
We might be afraid then. But not as afraid as now.

Perhaps it's our mentality on refusal to lose.
Perhaps we've subconsciously regarded that a failure in love means failure in life.
Perhaps we feel we're no longer young.

Somehow we've forgotten the simple joys we experience when we fall in love.
Is it because we have matured over the time?
Or is it because we think and rationalise too much that we've become more complex?

Love requires courage.
Because somehow someone needs to make the first step.
And time awaits for no man.
Even if failure awaits, at least there's no regrets in years to come.

In my view, the worst in life about love is not the rejection or failure faced.
Because there's confirmation and closure in the relationship.
The worst is that two persons love each other and yet still fail to come together due to a lack of courage.
Because regrets will await when the truth prevails.

Wish all my friends success in love.

I've always liked this song. Love to sing this in KTV:

勇气 By 梁静茹

终于作了这个决定 别人怎么说我不理
只要你也一样的肯定 我愿意天涯海角都随你去
我知道一切不容易 我的心一直温习说服自己
最怕你忽然说要放弃 爱真的需要勇气 来面对流言蜚语
只要你一个眼神肯定 我的爱就有意义
我们都需要勇气 去相信会在一起
人潮拥挤我能感觉你 放在我手心里 你的真心
如果我的坚强任性 会不小心伤害了你
你能不能温柔提醒 我虽然心太急 更害怕错过你
