patience maybe

Remember when we were such fools

And so convinced and just too cool

Oh no

No no

I wish I could touch you again

I wish I could still call you friend

I'd give anything


chorus

When someone said count your blessings now

For they're long gone

I guess I just didn't know how

I was all wrong

They knew better

Still you said forever

And ever

Who knew

Just learnt this song on guitar, a really beautiful song Pink- WHO KNEW. Talks about this girl patience waiting for a guy for three years but apparently (pardon me if I'm wrong) he did not come back.

Patience is it something we are wired or born to have, or is it a virtue that we need to grow and learn over the years?
Thoughts like waiting for the guy/girl for three more years, worth it? maybe he will treat me better?Maybe he/she will mature towards the way I want? Maybe I should move on there's too much risk in waiting and wasting my youth? People would probably think that wouldn't they? Of course you could say I'm overgeneralizing, but I'm sure these thoughts pops up in majority of the brains on earth eh?:)

Maybe patience is like planting an apple tree, definitely you can never know the apples you grow are going to be sweet or not after they ripen. Fruits of labour from waiting, is just such a gamble, so much uncertainties and possibilities of losing out.

Maybe patience is a test of one's selfishness, how patient you are could be is inversely proportional to how selfish a person could be. But at the same time, how much you love one person, could be how patient you are towards them, isn't that unselfishness as well. A fine example would be parents, I keep telling myself do not shout f up or flare up, though these times it always fails, their patience has always been there for me. I'm grateful for that but unfortunately, It is taken for granted ><

Maybe patience isn't something that can be learned from watching , observing or reading.

Maybe its something we have to experience losing, in order to gain more back. Like a balloon, in order for it to grow bigger air needs to be inhaled form the mouth. Don't be afraid to lose patience, it could after all be a blessing in disguise.I;m kinda proud to say my patience has increased over the years, but definitely more can be done, hopefully my balloon of patience will be able to give me the strength to be better.

Heard this quote from somewhere:' The simple key to success in a relationship: is when either one side has more patience and perseverance than the other.' So hold on tight , cause you never know that your patience could just be that little bit higher to pull you through :)     <-------(a note to self as well)
