Just not too long ago, I walked with my friends. We met up for dinner as well as to celebrate a good pal's birthday. As we were walking and working up a chat, I realised that everyone had different footprint sounds. Some footprints sounded monotonous and fast; some sounded hurried and sharp; some sounded almost invisible with soft underlying undertones- A rhythmic cacophony of sounds.

But as we were walking, some footprint sounds got drowned out by the surroundings and our constant chatter, just like how sometimes our 'true emotions' got consumed from externalities and the tangibles of life. It's quite depressing, to have such notions that are within our reach yet far from our grasp.

A quote from my friend:

"I guess..its gets a little painful when u ar putting more than u ar receiving...I guess..its gets a little uneasy when u ar receiving more than you are putting..Its cool....when you are putting in as much as you are receiving.."

I guess this is probably true for all instance. When we invest so much more in a friendship/relationship and do not get the same treatment as we hoped we can get, we get hurt. And as a result, we go the opposite direction in an attempt to get more attention from the other party, which often backfires. And in this process of stumbling and hurting each other, we become more insensitive and wrap our in a blanket of security.

Do we all not know that all that we have done to save a relationship is actually futile?
