LOVE

TRUE LOVE ON THE NET

Many people say that you will find love if you are not afraid of opening your hearts , even if only a little. I didn’t belive this. Cynicism that was the feeling i used to have towards love and marriage. Arranged marriages didn’t make sense to me because the two people involved did not know each other before. I did not belive in mathchmaking either. We cannot make two people fall in love just by putting them together. Love at first sight was another foolish and impossible thing because looks cannot reveal a person’s true personality. The relationship probably would not last long because looks can be deceiving. Last but not least , i didn’t belive in long-distance relationship , not to mention , cyber love! “it’s all ridiculous ,” i though to myself.
My belief eventually changed when Lingkan came into my life. Then I realized how wrong and foolosh I had been. It all began while I was working on a college assignment a couple of years ago. I browsed through the Internet to get materials for my assignment. One night , boredom hit me. So , out of curiosty , I logged on to a chat room. The topic of the discussion there captured my attention. One particular chatter whose screen name was Angel caught my attention. Angel seemed to be a broadminded individual with a wonderful personality. We then had lots of long private discussions over the Net. I found out that Angel was actually Lingkan a very interesting girl only after chatting with her for two weeks. I somehow knew that something was developing. It scares me a lot but I was help less helplessly falling for Lingkan.
I learned more about love about its power. The power of love is compeling. It is like a magnet that can draw people together. I couldn’t resist it,especially after meeting lingkan person. She was modest yet confident and so lovely. I could only tremble as we gazed into each other’s eyes for the first time.
The only major problem between lingkan and me was distance. I lived in Sydney, whereas Lingkan was in Manado. We tried to overcome the distance issue by chatting online and on the telephone as much as possible. Still, whenever we ended our conversation, my heart was aching .I yearned to see her. Love had certainly made me frail. This is way I decided to move , to get close to Lingkan. So , shortly after graduating from college , I packed my stuff and got on a plane to Manado.
Now I realize how important Lingkan has been to me. If she were not in my life , I would still be cynical and narrow-minded about matters of love and marriage. I learned much about love when I found Lingkan. We have been seeing each other for over a year and our love keeps growing stronger each day. We are planning to get married this year. I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with Lingkan. She has made me view life in a more positive way. I would not be ableb to become a better man if it were not for her. Thanks god for the wonders of technology and the Internet!
