Love is addictive, yes it is. When we are falling in love, we enter a new dimension of world where life keeps amuse us with a new habit to give, and to care. And this is the time when we feel we don't lose anything at all even though we giving out so much. 

 

Young & Feby, I met this interesting couple when we captured their best friend’s wedding in Bali, where Feby was one of the bridesmaids. After that, we shared many things, especially when we did their prewedding session in Melbourne, they told us about how love touched them in an amazing way. 

 

They worked in the same company in Singapore, where Young realize that Feby is a very special girl. Although Feby was raised in a different culture that he commonly knew, but Feby is a very hardworking person. She can be childish sometimes but Young found her to be very interesting.  

 

And also Feby, she found that Young is a typical of man that she always wanted for her life partner. Mature, caring, hardworking, and a man who has a clear purpose of his life. And along with all the pluses, they have a same hobby, they love travelling (and eating, not to mention) ;). No wonder, whenever they have spare time amidst their business, they will grab fast their bags and go somewhere.

 

Somewhere during our conversation, as they shared their stories, I said to them how lucky they are to have each other as a company. But they just looked at each other an smiled to me. They told me, along with the wonderful things they love about each other, and along with the things they shared in common, there are also times when things get rough in their relationship. There are so many things that feels like doesn't fit at all, the more they know each other deeper, the more they complaints about their differences. And there was a time when they nearly gave up, and thought that their relationship was not going to work.

 

And this is the key that they want to share with us. It is true, Love give you a beautiful power of giving, when you love someone you start to give whatever you can to make sure the happiness of the person you love. But sometime we forget that love is not all about giving, but also about accepting. We must accept the differences and all the things that are not so ourselves, the things that we think are very strange and make us want to say “Arrrghhh”. But when we start to accept each other, this is actually the time when we minimize our "me" and let love grow even stronger.

 

With Love
