sigh I guess I'm the only stupid one who loves unconditionally and just keeps getting hurt over and over. I guess I must learn to live "buttoned" instead.

oops got cut off(embarrassed!)
well anyway,i totally agree with you about "fear of getting hurt" and "withdraw",i myself often try not to be into deep until i can be sure of being loved enough.
i was like that,and maybe still i am, but by meeting up with the one who accept me as who i am,i have been changed.
you are so lucky to find the one in this world,and having a good heart to realize your own will to give,to LOVE the one.
given and loved are great,that will give you strength and happiness.
but maybe i can say, to love and give are greater than that.
i wish someday to be a person who can give more of selfless love to the loved ones :)

I can relate to you...
i am currently in a 4.5 years r/s and doing LDR...
i used to hold back because i was afraid to be hurt (i was hurt in the past), but this guy has shown me unconditionally that no matter what happened in the past, stays in the past and continues loving me even though i push him away at times.

If you both love each other unconditionally, LDR would be no barrier. After all, the entire world is much closer now with the internet =) stay strong and optimistic! LDR is no easy game, but it will be because you're the one controlling the game =)

We were so much in love. We left e airport together, she towards shining Stanford & i, across e atlantic for stuffy Cambridge. It was e true oceanic LDR.We stuck fastidiously to e timetable of webcams, internet phone-calls & mails in e 1st mnth. In e 3rd we spoke of longingness, yearning & of planned visits bwt continents. I realised i missed a week's worth of communications when i finished assignments in e 6th. Sporadic calls ensued for e 7th mnth. In e 9th i woke up to e fact that we haven't spoken for e whole of e 8th.

E dream ended when i opened a parcel wif her engagement ring in it during e 11th.

Would a minute have mattered? No, probably not. Possibily even two minutes wld b ok. Five minutes wasn't a crime. We'd hit ten minutes, reaching past a couple of hours along e way. And time stretched.
That's when e parcel arrives.

Thus, no excuses. None at all. For once you have a good excuse, e bad excuses will tag along seamlessly.

I hope your parcel never arrives.

you write your advertorials (or sponsored posts) so well that sometimes I can't even tell that it's one ... o.O

and oh pinkpau why did u delete ur password-protected posts! they were up yesterday.. (not that any of us can read it hehe)

i believe that we all deserve to love 'unbuttoned' as well, and be loved the same way. but like clara says in the comment above mine, some people arent as lucky as u ... =( I'm one of *those* unlucky ones who have loved wholly before, and been abandoned like a pair of unwanted jeans that went out of fashion ... and after that, you sorta learn to love yourself FIRST and put your needs/wants/fears above everything else, cos if u love openly and let your heart go wild -- who's going to take care of your heart, besides yourself, right?

sigh. sometimes things just *shouldn't* be this complicated, esp. for people our age. :/

Su Ann, I've chanced upon your blog through a recommendation by a friend and the first thing that struck me was the similarity of the situations we fall into. Perhaps it's just human nature, to fall into the same traps, for many people here seem to relate to you too.

What surprised me was the number of people who agreed (blindly, in my opinion) with you. That was a beautiful piece you wrote but the thing is, Su Ann, you've never been hurt before. You've never had your essence, your very hope in life sucked out of you and been subjected to such despair that it took every ounce of your remaining breath to pick yourself up and lick your wounds.

Perhaps I've grown cynical because of these experiences because I used to think like you. I lived unbutton once, after my first world fell apart. I just don't think it can happen again - it's all about self-preservation.

As a girl, talking to another girl whom I see so much of reflected in me, I just hope you'll keep my words in mind. I wish you the very best with Martian.

dear su ann, i honestly don't care if this is an advert or not. bottomline is, you write beautifully and from the heart. thanks for another wonderful read. i do hope that an LDR would be the last thing to get between you and your Martian. mwah :)

p.s. love your hair!

pinkpau, i can feel that u put so much heart into all your words, advertorial or not. i really liked the NZN post how u wove that into your personal life.... it felt so intimate, but it does boil down to the fact that you're selling sth and that is not always palatable to the pple who com here seeking.....the truth about you? sometimes i wonder, and feel bad for wondering (because of some prejudice :p), how could u have so much faith in a particular product, or brand but wadahell u only done so many ads so far and i understand ont the principle that you are being selective and endorse what you would choose as a consumer..... but this post is one of those rare posts where i felt i had stumbled on something precious, like being one of the lucky few let in on a secret supposedly between two persons, yet im struck by this queasy feeling when i saw THE LINE i wonder if people saw it coming it was just genuinely surprising for me but but but i still believe in it and i remain a believer in you but not in the product hehehe

i've been an avid reader of your blog for a pretty long time but i've never leave a comment...i'm always amazed by how well you write...and how each words just touches my heart...n i'm amazed by your maturity at such a young age...
i particularly love this post because it's very close to my heart...after i broke up with my ex 5 years back...i've never dated anyone or liked anyone or open myself enough to love again...and this post somehow enlighten me...that as much as i'm afraid to be hurt again...i should really open up and give it a try...to er..live unbuttoned!

thanks!

hi! i wish u and martian all the best too! LDR wouldn't be a problem as long as both of you take the effort to keep the relationship going, which i am sure both of you would. =) so don't worry too much! ;)

hey there, i've been reading your blog and most of the time i don't comment, but for this post, even though it is just an advertorial, i'm amazed at how well written it is.

i used to live life unbuttoned but i loved with all my buttons on. i used to think that when i get into a relationship, i have to make sure that my boyfriend will love me more than how much i love him. in a way, i used to be so cautious in love. in other aspects of life, i can be adventurous no matter how challenging life gets, i savour it.

sigh... living love life unbuttoned brings more hurt than living just life unbuttoned...but it also brings an abundance of joy and happiness when all goes well don't you think?

still very much impressed and astonished with how you can interpret such simple tagline into such elaborated post...

oh well... i guess you've always have your way around words and phrases... and thus you're who you're today ^_^
