A Mind Fucker.

One night, in twitterland.. One of the famous and my fave author, Raditya Dika, just tweeted quotes from Neil Gaiman’s book. At first, i thought it’s just another cheesy love quotes. I bet you’ll gonna say the same thing with me if you just read the first line.

And then i read it till the last lines. And i was wrong. I was SO wrong. Its not just another cheesy love lines. In fact, it was one of the greatest and “MENOHOK” lines i’ve ever read. And I know its gonna stick in my memory forever.

And this is the quotes from Neil Gaiman, the Sandman no.65:

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vurnerable.

It opens up your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit armor, so that nothing can hurt you.

Then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life. You give them a piece of you. They didnt ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isnt your own anymore.

Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness.

So simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart.

It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.

I hate love.”

Another mind-fucker. A mind-raper. And its stuck in my mind from yesterday till now..or maybe for forever.
