Liley and Christie

Liley, Liley.....
For Christie, Liley is always so unreachable.....

-Play the game. And I'll be watching you.-
Said Liley.

Christie and Liley are like best friends.
But what are best friends?
Do best friends never have any negativity towards each other?
Because then they won't be.
But they know each other.
Very well.
Very well, too well to even know each other's side which the other one dislikes.
They hate each other.
But do you know that hate is a pained love?

Christie is a cheerful person.
She can never lies : that she's almost never sad.

Liley is a calm and cold person.
She prefers to observe laughters, rather than laughing together.
She is the role of an observant.

Christie feels she's always faking her feelings.
That she always wears the mask of smile and laughter.
Sometimes she wants to appear like Liley, and shows her true feelings.
But she can never be.

Christie is a realist.
Christie knows what is her strength and weakness.
Christie also knows that we cannot have everything.
But Christie is always afraid that she will make Liley sad.

Liley is a free person.
Liley does many things.
Liley can be anything.
Liley always knows everything.
Liley is the perfect figure.
The figure Christie always wants to be.

Liley and Christie love almost everything.
But sometimes Christie thinks that much of their love are fake.
That they don't really love it actually.
That they only believe that they love it.

In making decisions,
They often fight.
Christie knows what's best, even though she may sacrifice her other love for that.
Liley believes that everything can be achieved.
Liley wants to fight for what she really loves.
But Christie says that she has to know the size of her palms, and how much water she can fill in her hands.

Sometimes they find a middle road.
But sometimes Liley wins.
But often Christie wins.

But
Even though Christie is happy with her decision, she always wishes that she could have understood Liley better.

It's not that Christie hates her decisions. Or regret it, no.
She loves her way, yet she hates that her way is different from Liley.
She hates that she loves it.

Why Liley, why do you always have to whisper "It should have been that way"?
And why?
Why do Christie always wants to be Liley?

Helen Keller is Watching Over Us

Oprah said that the key to a succesful relationship is communication.

But how do you communicate, when you can't hear and you can't see?
Helen Keller had passed the test. But can they?

A young journalist who loved drawing got a new assignment today from her new boss. That was, to interview a trumpetist from a local jazz band. She didn't know him, she had no interest in music, actually.

What the new boss didn't know was that the young journalist's ears hadn't been responsive ever since she'd been born. But the young journalist was not in the mood to argue the new boss, indeed she wasn't so open about her disability, she didn't like people to worry more than they should be.

So she decided to just take the plunge, and she strolled to the café where the band usually played. Just a few words, she thought, and all done. She had called her coworker to help too, for, you know, the musical part.

But as God and Keller watched over her, the twist of fate smiled. She couldn't interview the man by herself, well, at least for the first time. The trumpetist was young, and blind.

But they would both develop an interest of each other, in a very different way.

A music-lover man who couldn't see. An art-lover woman who couldn't hear.
They were taking the test to prove that this cliché quote was once again correct :
That love knows no barriers.
