Love is in the air. Well, should we make it seasonal? No. We should be generous in making other people feel loved not just for Valentine’s Day or Christmas Day.
Dahil Valentine’s Day na bukas, let me ask you, have you already found your ‘The One’? Maraming pasikot-sikot ang mundo. Kung nalilito ka na sa magulong kalye at expressways ng Metro Manila, humanda ka na ring malito sa nakakalokang paghahanap sa iyong one true love, one great love, The One. Whatever you may call him or her.
Nobody said it was easy, sabi nga ng Coldplay. Wala naman talagang nagsabing madaling humanap ng taong iibigin na may tatak 100% guarantee na hindi ka masasaktan o magkakamali. Kung may alam ka mang ganito, baka pwede mong i-share sa aming lahat. O kahit sa akin man lang.
When we talk about love, it’s just as complicated as engaging yourself in a conversation about religion, politics, or economy. Sasakit lang ang ulo mo kung pipilitin mong bigyan ng eksaktong definition ang love. Pero kasama nun ang kakaibang feeling na hindi mo maitatangging nagpapasaya sa puso mo.
Sabi ng sa nobela ng idol kong si Ricky Lee na Para Kay B, me quota daw ang pag-ibig. 1 out of 5 lang daw ang siguradong magiging masaya and the rest, magiging devastated. Ganito din kaya sa totoong buhay? Paano mo pa hahanapin ang iyong The One kung pati sa totoong buhay ay may quota nga ang pag-ibig. Kung ang sagot mo ay naghuhumiyaw na ‘wala akong pakialam sa quota’, congratulations! Dahil matibay ka, siguradong mahahanap mo nga ang para sa ‘yo.
Last week sa Facebook news feed, nabasa ko ang linyang ito: Ang pag-ibig ay para lamang sa mga taong matatapang. Matapang ka ga? Handa kang maghintay? Handa kang masaktan?
Don’t try looking for The Perfect One. Hindi mo talaga makikita yan. I don’t think that kind of lover exists. The Right One pa siguro. Nobody’s perfect, sabi nga. There are no perfect lovers, only perfect emotions. Oh, I’m kinda uncertain with the last three words of the last sentence. What do you think?
Sometimes even if you’ve think you’ve found The One, chances are, fate will do its trick to test your relationship. Circumstances might tear you apart but if you’re meant to be together, you’ll be back in each other’s arms. Too idealistic? Mushy, yes. It happens, believe.
If you think you’ve found the right one for you, take care of that person. Love is tricky, love is too aloof for some. If love is inside you, nurture it. Nurture it until it grows; until it attract goodness in all forms; until it multiply ten folds.
It’s true – all you need, all we need, is LOVE. ♥
