"For Keeps"

HOPELESS ROMANTIC, INDEED.

Love occurs when the collision of two worlds create a strong bond that can only be broken by death. But apparently, love is seen as something you get instantly nowadays. It is no longer the result of two reactive chemicals that mix perfectly. Over the years, hollywood had been selling an enhanced version of true love to us. They make it seem like it is so easy to walk in a park, bump into a cute guy, talk for hours as you stroll around and observe nature, then fall in love after a week or so. People then think that love is easy to find when in reality, it hell isn't. A lot of people are in search for their "one true love" that fairytales claim to be "just around the corner" singing at the top of their lungs just to express the "undying" love they have for you even if you haven't met. People are too idealistic nowadays because of the influence of romantic comedies and the classic fairytales. You don't need someone who will fill your room with rose petals nor ride a horse and save you from the top of a mountain, all you need is someone who will stay through your ups and downs and always see the beauty in you. He doesn't have to buy you all the stuff you want, he just needs to give you the only thing nobody can take: his time. If you find or have someone who encompasses all of these, then you can finally say that he is "for keeps."
