Like the peelings of a mandarin

You know it's funny to think that I came up with this when I was actually eating an orange myself. And as I was peeling back the fruit to get to the juicy centre, I realized 2 things. First, that it is in fact juicy and you could tell from the moment you touched it whether it is sweet or sour. And secondly, that it implied very much on how we unravel him. I do not want to mention who this may concern but for your own safety, I would like you to know that it is not the fact that we are racists or unopened minded people for that matter, but it is in fact the thing about his characteristic and his actions that tells us so much about him, even if it means that we don't know him that well, but it is just like peeling this fruit; when you touch it, it feels rather hard and when you start peeling it, the smell gets to you and you know that you have picked a sour one. The same goes to him. I know because you are blinded by all that sweet talk it seems as if the mandarin is now sugarcoated with honey and that's the thing that makes you think he is genuine and sincere. Okay, let's take a step back, you can argue and say that I do not know him therefore I cannot judge. But have you ever considered (honey coating aside) that we have been you friends for such a long time now and that he has only known you for what, not even a month and he is telling your good friends here to watch out? Mind you, it wasn't in that kind manner as I put as well, it was rather more on the harsh side which still boils me every time I think about it. Who gave him the right to talk to her like that? She has been you confidant for such a long time now and you are just going to fall into that trap of love that he has purposely set up for himself? You're going to believe his word against hers while she has not done anything to you before to hurt you. Then reality check number two, what's with him and his insecurities? You think that this one is different now don't you? Didn't you say that about the last one? And the one before that? I know that life has put you in a difficult position but it doesn't give you the right to throw yourself wholeheartedly while they take advantage of you? Because we definitely do not want that to happen, and as your friends, it is our obligation to make sure that you are not hurt. But we have tried so many times, and every time we tell you it is like your ears are blocked and the only conversation going on in your head is the one that you want to hear and not the advice that all of us are giving to you. You are the one that is blinded and therefore you can't see the truth the way we see it. It is because of that that you are stubborn. But we seriously care for you as our friend, sister, and family and we pray that the unwanted does not happen. We have nothing against you neither we have against him or the bommunity, but it is much better to be safe than sorry.

  1. *sigh* At first I didnt know who you were talking about but I was pretty sure who it was after the good friends part.. I just think it's still a choice. No one can force you to do anything you don't want to do. Especially when 'you' are so strong in personality... I guess we should just remind but not nag cos it s definitely not working.. And yes we all feel hurt cos we know now where our place is.. I guess she just really wants the attention badly.. I hope 'you' ll come to your senses soon before it s too late...
