What would you do? If you were in my shoes?

I like to ask myself this question. Which is essentially, to put myself in the shoes of others, view things from their point of view, and then you will realise why the person is behaving the way he/she is. You may not like it, but at least, you will understand it.

Eg. X is in love with this superstar. X has connections that links to this superstar. X does on occassion, chat on msn with this superstar. X's friend tells X that the superstar likes her, and that he even wrote the new single he had out for her. X cannot believe it... she's ecstatic and in denial at the same time. She has a date I think with him, and she's flying to go meet him.

As I listened to X's story, my initial reaction, was probably disbelief. How can X, a normal girl (sorry lah, but really normal in everything, not bad, but not head turning), have garnered the attention of a superstar? Especially since they have only chatted a bit on msn, I was grilling her about it, and then some. Nothing v suspicious there.

Now, I was convinved it was a prank by X's friend, and that X is being delirious.

Then I asked myself... why not? She's single, just recovering from ending a long term relationship, she has a fledging business that is doing quite well, no family committment, why can't she fly off and just meet the man of her dreams? Does it matter if the song was not really written for her? Does it matter if she gets her heart broken? She went and followed her heart. I mean, we're talking meeting the man of your dreams!

[This is something that only happens in drama, feel like writing a script for it.. AND!! whoever is reading this blog, this storyline has just been copyrighted by ME! Cannot use the same story, or else I will sue u! I have lawyer friends (wags finger menacingly)... ]

I asked myself, would I dare fly off like this? Actually, the anwer is No. No, because, I have more committments than her, less courage, and ok, a lot less courage. It take courage, REAL courage, to fly off and meet someone like that, I mean
1) he's a superstar, how're you to know if he's really the person he portrays himself to be
2) what if it was really one big bad joke, can you take the blow?

I admire her guts, her forthrightness in admitting that yes, she likes him, and wants to meet him. I mean, how many girls can do that? Anyway, the answer to whether it's a fairytale, or a joke gone bad, will only be answered AFTER she flies off and back.

We'll see... wouldn't mind knowing a superstar.. hahahaha
