I caught up with an old friend. Someone from very long ago - when my other half still lived. There was not much change in her outlook - still as pretty, but her personality took a 180 degrees change. During the last year that I have not seen her, she got married, got divorced and developed a really strong relationship with God. Apparently, religion is all she trusts and find comfort in now. While I think it's good that she has a strong relationship with God, I feel that she has lost hope in humankind. I guess her failed marriage became sorta a booster in her spiritual path.
I still am pretty disturbed by the time we parted ways. The last time I met her, she was religiously preaching about her MLM product to me. This time round we met, she's religiously preaching about her life testimonials to me. While I'm happy for the fact that God has showered much blessings upon her, I can't help but feel skeptical about her enthusiasm towards religion. She reminds me of an exceptionally bright candle that burns at a rate far more than it can afford to. I guess my take to this is - easy does it, take things slow, and you will go far. She just gave me a feeling that she's someone who falls into things fast - and snap out of them doubly fast.
I believe that still waters run deep, be it in relationship, or other aspects of life. Of course there should be excitement and passion, but wouldn't you prefer a long lasting relationship peppered with excitement and surprises, compared to one that's filled with excitement everyday yet fizzles out the next moment you blink your eyes?
