Chapter 14: of walls and supermen
dear readers, this is not a hoax and your eyes are not deceiving you. i have purposefully skipped the number 13 for obvious reasons. from time immemorial, the number 13 has been associated with being unlucky and so on. not one to break traditions, i choose to follow suite. hope you don’t mind me breaking this uniformity.
ok, back to today’s topic. i’ve blog-crawled and come across a few dating articles, which i must admit, arouses curiosity and is thought-provoking. one such article, describes how they build emotional ‘walls’ around themselves to protect them from the hurt love sometimes brings. that would explain song titles involving “Love Hurts”. sometimes, the walls are so thick that it suffocates the individual from actually enjoying any form of a satisying relationship, be it platonic or special. then, there is the metaphorical ‘door’ some describes. this i refer as the ‘door’ to the heart. hence, the need for a key to open it. the question is, how does one obtain the key to a person’s ‘door’? one response i got was, only the super person will know. in this case, a superman of sorts i guess, to sweep her off her feet and fly her away from here (wherever here is).
ok, the fun part, questions. how does the person know, who COULD BE the superman if their walls are too high and thick for his laser eyes or superhuman strength to break through? how does superman know then that he has a key to the ‘door’? how does superman know how to open the ‘door’ correctly without being zapped by her superpowers? how does superman help lower the walls slowly to show her the way out of her ‘door’ and enjoy the experience of ‘flying’?
i must apologize for all the odd terminology in my analogy of a relationship but it pertains to something close to heart and hence i’ve left it as-is for digesting and feedback. for those, who know where i’m coming from. please feel free to leave a constructive comment and let’s analyse this together.
emo: i feel like Dr. Love and Sherlock Holmes right now. go figure.
