I remembered asking a friend the question, Me
mahal ka ba? The answer was an eager, Yes! I
then asked the question, Mahal ka ba ng mahal
mo? He then said, Hindi ko alam. Hindi ata. I
asked how did he know he wasnt loved back, his
answer was, Hindi ko pa kasi sinasabi eh.
Youre probably wondering what the anecdote
above means. It made me realize something about
love, loving people and loving oneself.
I remember asking another friend the same
question, Me mahal ka ba? The answer was
again an eager, Yes! I then asked the
question, Mahal ka ba ng mahal mo? He then
said, Hindi ata. I asked how did he know he
wasnt loved back, his answer was, Alam ko lang.
Gut feeling.
Do you see the difference? The 1st friend believed
in the power of admitting the truth. He believes the
truth is the answer, he believes that it could
change the course of everything. I am like him. I
believe that the truth is the key. I rarely bother
myself with the possible humiliation and rejection-
why? Because when I fall in love, I am proud of it. I
never see it as something to be kept secret.
But each one of us, in one way or another, is like
my 2nd friend. We are scared of admitting we love
someone for fear of embarrassing ourselves.
This holds the greater risk.
The risk of passing the moment of being happy.
But there is the saying, Honour in love is silence
Pagkatapos mo kasing sabihin, everything
changes. Maiilang na siya sayo. It ruins the
friendship. But how could you assume that it wont
end happily? Mahirap nang masira yung
pagsasamahan. Rarely lang na pati siya mahal ka
rin.
The only permanent thing in this world is change.
And the only thing we are sure we have in this
world is hope. If you agree with the person above,
you are not giving yourself a chance. It is proven-
confessions may lead to a friendships downfall but
there are cases wherein it fails to ruin it. And by
agreeing with the person above, you are exposing
how small your faith is in your friendship and in the
love you say you have for the person.
Whats the worst thing could happen? I asked
him again. Mapahiya lang naman ako, was his
answer. Hindi ka pa ba napapahiya sa kanya
ever? I asked. Iba ito, hindi ko kayang mawala
yung friendship namin.
Sacrificing ones ego for love is a small price to
pay.
A friend of mine once courted a girl and was
rejected. The reason was that the girl was afraid to
hurt the guy in the future. @$^*#! %! Willing
naman akong masaktan. Sino siya para I-deny
sakin yun? Parang ako pa yung dahilan kaya di
kami pwede. Kasi baka masaktan lang daw ako
We are so scared to tell people the real reason
why we dont want to be in a relationship. In this
case, the reason was she really didnt trust herself.
She was willing to give up the most amazing guy
just because she knew soon shed end up dumping
him. How can she be sure that it will end up that
way? Maybe it happened before with her other
boyfriends- but there are no 2 people alike in this
world. Everybody is uniquelife is made up of
intricate and various patternsseldom do they
repeat. Although it contradicts, History repeats
itself, it still has room for improvement.
I met a guy once, I didnt know much about him
until I read his diary. He allowed me to enter
unchartered areas of his soul, the
disappointments,
the hurt, the want to die and the want to be loved. I
have no idea where to start helping him. I found
myself worrying about him most of all.
I learned he was in love, I dont know how he knew
he was in love. Amidst of all confusionshow sure
he wasnt just infatuated? What if he is just on the
rebound? It could happen. Its possible.
He says they are of different worlds
Love levels all inequalities.
He says shell be leaving sooner or later
Where there is great love, there is great vein.
He says hes not praying that she loves him
back
Love asks faith and faith asks firmness.
Who would be loved must love. Doubt whom you
will but never yourself.
To love or not to love?
