Our Story


I never wanted to collect memories and then lose the story.

There is a reason why our fate is designed to be unknown. A reason why our destiny are not revealed from the start. The reason why we can't figure out exactly the one whom we are matched.
...because it will lose the sense of magic.

Imagine if there's really that technology that could match our DNAs with our "The One", with our destiny. Then we will no longer look for others because we finally found our match. And we're sure of it. Our DNAs say so.

But what would become of our love stories?

They will all be the same.

The same stories that we found our match because our DNAs said so.

We cannot tell stories anymore because we don't own one.
We create lots of memories with our "The One" but loses the magic of falling in love. Of loving even though you're not sure if he loves you back, but you still punch the moon, jump on the edge, because you are sure that you're in love. We can no longer be brave to love because there'll be no more bets and leaps of faith.
It loses all the magic and the senses of love.

Love is fearless, it is brave, because even in the midst of not knowing and uncertainty, we choose to love and get hurt. Isn't that brave?

Love is faith, that even if you miss all the chances, you still go back to where that single chance came, hoping it will come again. Isn't that faithful?

Love is a story, different from everyone. We get our own fairy tales, we get our own forevers. We get that magic only us could ever known. A story only us could ever tell because it belongs to us. Isn't that magic?

And if one day we lose all our memories. Our story gets told. To others are just words, but to us it is a poetry.

So I never wanted to collect memories just to lose our story.
