At Long Last, L-O-V-E!
One day last week, I told my best friend of my dilemma that I can’t come up with a decent topic to talk (write) about here. Well, you may see for yourself if I even came up with one the past week. Anyway, he suggested that I write a piece about love. Yes, L-O-V-E. Uhmmm, I think after all that he has heard from me he figured out that I can write a lot about it. And with the gamut of stuff that I discussed with him plus the oft-argued (and habitually, unsolicited) pieces of advice he has received, I deem that his suggestion may be right. I’d like to seize this opportunity particularly because it’s the best time that he should hear these again. Of course, just hours ago he had read this. But for the sake of emphasizing and highlighting (and I tell him that all these are part of a grand plan to spear them doubly), I list all these. Enjoy! >>>Reassurance? That’s plain and simple customer service. But does it bring you anywhere? >>>Love is not enough. It’s the fighting for it that makes it hold its ground. >>>Choose your words but don’t filter the emotions. >>>You don’t owe me anything. You owe yourself your own happiness. >>>Selfish love is immature love. >>>Are you staying there because you want to move forward? Or are you staying there because you’re stuck? >>>You don’t change a person. You change his habits. >>>Lack of choice is different from lack of will. >>>Don’t disappoint us. And please, don’t fail yourself. You surely deserve better. >>>If you can’t fight for the one you love, at least fight for yourself and what you feel. (Better heard in the vernacular:
Kung hindi mo man maipaglaban ang taong mahal mo, ipaglabahan mo man lang ang sarili mo at ang nararamdaman mo.) Here’s to wishing that he will make the best, fairest, and most upright decision. Then again, he still might not. And I loathe the fact that I can’t do anything about it. Or at least in the meantime.
