things i used to believe in:

• you could die of dehydration and loss of blood if you cried too much (haha i think my mum used to tell me that i was crying out clear blood and water or something like that...)
  
• all the rice left over on my plate would one day translate into pimples
• if you swallowed a watermelon seed... it would grow inside of you
  
• if you had a really bad cough... it was possible to cough your lungs out
• boy germs (though i never really thought about what it would do to me... more that it was icky and ewwww)
• love was a state you fell into... kinda like you just tripped: involuntary, unexpected and unless someone caught you, painful when you hit the ground. haha actually... to a large extent i still believe that, but... i don't believe that you can fall in and out of love just like that. instead, i believe love is something that you work on...

i think thats why i don't think i believe in the concept of soul mates anymore either... the idea of someone else that completes you. its realizations like these that tempers my romantic notions... in the past i would have readily described myself as a hopeless romantic, but now... probably not. i don't believe in love at first sight, i'm not even sure i believe in theone anymore... *gasp!* (I've had a lot of interesting conversations centering on the concept of theone lately, and generally i get that kind of reaction when i express these thoughts) i wouldn't say i'm jaded (gosh i hope i'm not!) but perhaps a slightly cynical romantic, but wistfully so? in the sense that, i hope i'll be surprised and perhaps proved wrong.

i still refer to the future guy (whoever he may be) as theone, and i hope and secretly wish that i will be lucky enough to have the guy walk into my life with a huge sign on his forehead reading 'amy's theone... other girls please do not touch' HAHAHA!!! but highly highly unlikely...

so i'm not so sure i believe in theone, but i do believe in TheOne and i think by far, thats the greatest romance ever =D
