In my life there are girls I have met and I got into relationship
with, we were so compatible, we had good and admirable
love, we had a lot of fun and we shared great moments. I
prayed for our love to last forever and I thought we are
inseparable. But guess what? Time came and we fell apart
over small, daft and solvable issues.
Happiness turned into sadness, smiles turned into tears,
promises turned into lies, "I love you(s)'' turned into "I hate
you", sweet names like “my prince charming, honey pie,
sweet pie, babe, bubu...” all turned into ugly names, sweet
words turned into abuses, great moments turned into
regrets and a great couple turned into strangers!
Honestly, it hurt me a lot back then and it scared me so
much but it gave me lessons and it made me realize a lot of
things. Among the things that I realized are:
1. There is nothing in this world that lasts forever. Whether
it’s sweet love, friendship, or anything, they all come to an
end at some point.
2. People change and things change. They never stay the
same or maintain what they say or start with.
3. People never appreciate or get enough of what they have.
They always want more and more. They are really hard to
please.
4. People give up so fast. A small argument,
misunderstanding, or rumor makes them give up easily.
They never think twice, they never search for the truth; they
never fight for what they had. They just let go without
thinking twice.
5. People forget so fast. They are easily taken up by the
excitement and love in the new found relationship. They
forget what they had and what they have been through. They
see it as shit or nothing because of the rough times
encountered in it. They forget that the excitement in the new
found love can also fade away and a relationship becomes a
war zone at some point.
6. People aren't patient at all. They never want to start their
relationship from scratch. They want already made things;
already made pesos, already made good life and already
established people. They think that's all it takes to have
happy and endless love.
7. People aren't loyal and trustworthy. They disappoint a lot,
they lie, and they pretend, they give empty promises, they
fool around, they are never open enough and they waste a
lot of our time.
There many others but those are the major ones. But what
does that imply? We need to enjoy what we have to the
fullest while we still have it because you never know what
will happen tomorrow, we need to appreciate and be
contented with what we have, we need to have strong hearts
and be determined to finish what we start, we need not to
be so excited and taken up so easily by new sugarcoated
things and forget or throw away what we had or held on for
so long, we need to be patient enough and constructive, we
need to trust but not a 100%, we need to be careful with our
fragile hearts and bodies, we need to learn to forgive and
forget, we need to love but leave a room for
disappointments, we need to be careful with the people
(friends) we share our relationship secrets with, and lastly
but not the least we need to commit everything to God and
trust Him to lead us.
Think about it and act accordingly.
