Aloha Psychic-has-to-be *grins*
My bad again! I seem to disappear frequently without truly meaning to as life has put me far from the living edge again. Now with me resting along with my hurtful gum [after the horrible wisdom tooth surgery], I am staying home and catching up with the layout and posting around here. Even though I can’t literally yell at people, it doesn’t add to my “injury” if I shout at them inside my wicked head.
A good friend of mine [or should I use the term “used-to-be good friend”?] recently told me about her boyfriend’s gambling debt. I don’t want to reveal how much on here but I would say according to my extravagant dictionary, it’s definitely something NOT small/ neglect-able. And what amazed me was [hm, it still does, but I used “past tense” anyway] that she actually went to the bank and co-signed on the loan document for him. That means, if he runs away, she will be responsible for a huge amount of debt which wasn’t “caused” by her anyhow.
First thing that came to my mind after hearing the story was, “are you out of your mind?”, “do I even know you?”, “is ‘love’ so powerful that it causes that fucking blindness and brain death?”…etc. Instead, I remained speechless, not because I wasn’t able to yell physically [I didn’t have my operation then], it’s because it’s happened, it’s history. She was not asking me for advice, for opinion. She has already made her decision and she was just informing me. Maybe I appear busy all the time doing this and doing that and never really want to chit chat on the phone [the radiation causes me headaches!], but if she would only pick up the phone and talk to me about it before making such a hasty decision, I would have been honored to analyze the situation together with her. Maybe she doesn’t know how serious the issue could be if a breakup happens. Maybe she doesn’t care that her friends care that much for her. Maybe she thinks that’s what love and support mean if she is in a relationship. That leaves me with a bunch of *sighs*…
Once a gambler, always a gambler! Right, call me shallow, call me cold-blooded, call me BITCH! In my life, it’s really that simple! If it’s a business failure, if his parent needs to go through some kind of serious operation leading to the owning of such a considerable amount of debt, I would understand. Hell no, it’s gambling debt! Let me repeat the word again - G.A.M.B.L.E.!
My friend, it takes 5-6 years to repay all the debt [assuming that there is no additional debt accumulated throughout the years], excuse me, how old will you be by then? If you are looking for a stable, wonderful married life with healthy kids running around, when could your dream be accomplished? If you think you are so in love with him, it would only make sense if you take a step back and review the whole situation before your eyes, then tell me if this is the Mr Prince Charming you have always dreamed of. If you want to foresee a future, have you loved yourself and protected yourself enough to have that bright light that you deserve? If a person jeopardizes your love like that, are you that blind and courage-less to let him ruin your life?
As a friend, I can’t say much. Honest words are always not appearing to be the most appealing words to your ears. You have a brain, go figure! Maybe you would say that I don’t understand a thing, I don’t understand love, I don’t understand being there for someone when he is going through hardship. I won’t argue, because the thing that I don’t really understand in this world would be YOU. And now, you don’t know how frustrating and heart-breaking this is to your friends that they don’t seem to understand you anymore.
Ice Queen who is Beaten up by “love”
P.S. Sorry for your friend in your previous entry. I only wish maybe your friend should know the friend I mentioned here, then, the world would be a better place! Well, I guess mismatch happens all the time ha?
