Memoirs of a Girlfriend - by Sharon Toh

opportunity

opportunity plays the biggest role in the starting up of all relationships. It may also play the biggest role in the break ups as well.

Alot of people may not have experienced what it is like to be in love, due to the lack of opportunity that meets their way. Perhaps they are not exposed to new people, or perhaps they don't take advantage of the opportunities that are presented to them.

Now comes to the nitty gritty part.. The opportunities presented when you're about to break up. During your relationship, you have the opportunity to meet new people as well.. But what if you don't, what if you feel as though you cannot meet anyone else and you decide to stay with them because you feel as though you cannot 'do better'. So when someone better does come along, are you willing to let go of your partner to be with the better someone? Is that your intent to stay in the relationship - to avoid being lonely? I'm not saying that everyone feels that way, its just alot of people stay in a relationship to prevent themselves from being out in the cold on their own.


But staying in a relationship that makes you unhappy to kill time is just going to take away the opportunity you have to engage in a better relationship with someone else.

I say, when relationships don't work out, don't blame yourself.. blame opportunity!

Everything in this blog made sense- up until the last sentence!! What's the use of blaming something else (especially something abstract)? When and if a relationship fails, a mature person doesn't need to blame something like opportunity- instead, they recognise who is at fault and understand how they could use the experience to better themselves for the future!! Everyone has some control over the opportunities that come their way- if they want more opportunities to meet new people, they can go out more!!! so i say, don't blame opportunity, when it is really ourselves who are at fault.
