I read a book well actually a manga today and like marathoned the entire book for the duration of the half of the day there was. I somehow loved the story and for a guy like me to be into this is kinda awkward yet I am proud to say I am happy reading it. Pastel is a story about a boy and his love for this girl whom he thought would never meet again. But then fate intervened and made them into housemates which started all the ups and downs of their life. A good story to begin with and with fact it teaches someone that sometimes you have to understand and respect the person you love. The portrait above is named "Yuu". She is one of the main characters of the story and that somehow showed kindness to poor Mugi who could not confess to her, fearing that if he would, she would leave.
I can't actually relate to the story since I never had such a feeling but I can say during the course of my life, I had encountered the feeling of not saying how that person is to you seeing it would ruin the beautiful friendship you have. It was a long time ago in college. But I don't want to remember much of the details since right now, each time I would touch my heart, I remember who it felt. Being loved and being left alone. I moved forward and thought that I'd recover. I met the next girl then my wife but before getting married I got into a wrongful relationship which ended shortly and now, here I am with my wife, expecting our daughter whom I pray we can keep. I pray my daughter never feels the same ache I had gone through and even her mom's. I could only protect them to an extent but sometimes the decision is up to them.
You can't push people always to like you. Nor can you have them speak up for you. The timing and the situation has to be perfect and perhaps when that happens. Maybe... you can be Mugi. Have fun looking for the book and reading it. It's a good story and tells about how sometimes love can be. Later! - Max
