the art of LoveLives

I have never been good at drawing, coloring things, or even expressing myself through the arts. I have never been the creative type and I think I would never be 'coz I firmly believe that "creativity can never be taught, it is within one's self."
So when our MAPEH class at school was taught by a new, more-experienced, and far more artistic teacher, I had a huge problem keeping up. He taught us to blend colors and draw first the sketch of the things which we were to color. Sounds cliche but I think the activities he made us do were obviously underrated. I didn't think that it was that hard to draw a palm tree, or a bamboo, or even an apple. GDI! I always had to ask my very artistic and creative seatmate, Milton Jason Tanedo for help. And I'm glad that he was always there to offer a hand.
But Love, Love is a different thing. In art, for me, no matter how many things you draw and no matter how many of them looks like the real thing, you will never learn to improve the way you draw them, unless you want to. On the other hand, in Love, after past experiences, whether you like it or not, it changes you. In some ways- obvious or not- little by little, you become less and less of yourself as before the actual relationship even began. And when it ends [because it's rare nowadays that you see people or couples in happy relationships] you don't know who you are anymore.
So many people [those whom I know] are breaking up these days. It upsets me because the couples who you'd think were gonna last forever, didn't. But for those couples whom you know won't really last long, it's not that appalling. And it kinda saddens me because it's like before, when my friends and I talk, we talk about the things that make us smile and the people who give us reason to do so, but now, it's like we talk about the effin' things they said and how the BS things they kept just surfaced now. Finally, I think that Love, like art- there's no exact way of doing it, you just learn to do it in your own way and accept that it's not perfect but atleast you made it:)
P.S.: I am not good at singing, I will never be great at drawing and coloring things, and I will never ever ever be sporty.:)
