On Crushes

Honey A and I have been going on for 5 years now. And we had a commitment never to get attracted with other people anymore since we will be the the last persons in our lives.Tough! Does that mean that we can no longer have crushes or admire others? Honey A replied, Yes I still can, but on a case to case basis! Honey A is much, much older than me. And I respect the wisdom he has learned over the years. I take his word that he knows what he's talking about, and it's for our own good.

But then, i find it hard to supress admiration. People come in different packaging and there are times that we marvel those who have qualities we don't possess. Maybe it's easier to accept good-looking celebrities or articulate politicians. But how about a good-looking officemate who turns down flirting and yet keeps his family of 4 God-fearing? How about a hunk neighbor who comes home early, goes to the market instead of his wife and takes the kids to the park every Sunday? How about a boss who always talk about his wife and kids even on meetings? It's hard not to admire these guys because they make any woman envy their wives! Crushes are just admirations, and they cannot take you far if you know how to handle yourself. Life isn't perfect. And as long as there are imperfections, the adulation with other people will never end...
