"Come as you want, leave as you wish" was that feeling I got from that money-minded shopkeeper down at Petaling Street, so was the same feeling if you were to waltz down to Chow Kit Road to get laid, or even public toilets for that matter. What is my point? It's the idea of others treating you as if you're something to them when they need something from you ; nothing to them when they don't.
I can't be bothered if this is the feeling I get for every time I head down to have a meal at the local "Kopitiams" or Coffee Shops, but if this same feeling is to be prevalent in friendships and relationships, it really ticks me off. Because it's simply pointless to get to be friends with someone that treats you like a brassière, where one wears it as they feel like it, and doesn't when they don't.
Even if you're in a relationship, most of the times you'll notice that there are cases where someone comes after you because you've got the good looks, so good that they'd be more than happy to get into your pants, or even the cases where you're blessed with riches, that they'd simply want a piece of your cake.
So the question comes in at this point - why do we promise to jump off the 99th floor and fall on the hard ground for the ones we "love", especially if you know that "you can't live without them, but they can live without you"? Well, I hope for the best that you won't be encountering such issues, cheers.
