What Has Love Taught You Lately?


Recommended Posts

Tinuruan n'ya kong maging kalma lang. Na kung mararamdaman ko s'ya eh dapat h'wag akong maging selfish. Yung magtiwala ako sa nararamdaman ko. Natutunan kong pakawalan yung taong mahal ko para sa kapakanan n'ya. Dahil yun ang sa tingin kong makakabuti para sa kanya. Natutunan kong magtiis kahit masakit dahil yun ang tama.

Love has taught me to not throw around the words "I LOVE YOU" nor even "I LIKE YOU" so carelessly, or with reckless abandon.

 

We Filipinos are a race so obsessed with the concept of "loving and being loved". We even tend to glorify the absurd, poetic reaches of it; letting it slide that some actions are actually incomprehensibly self-destructive, or even disrespectful.

I believe our cultural connotation is dastardly wrong. That is ROMANCE. Love can carry it, but by itself, it is not love.

 

Romance is you-and-me-against-the-world,

Love is being at peace with the world to help your togetherness.

 

Romance is trying-to-move-hills-and-mountains

Love is in crossing those obstacles, acts with certainty

 

Romance is being ready to die for the one you love

Love is to live for one's beloved.

 

Let us be careful in what we think and what we believe in, especially with something like love. It's more serious than we think. We think that we are expressing it just by saying it; no, those are empty words. Empty songs. Empty poems and empty acts wrought in desperation to feel noticed and fulfilled, because we humans are naturally attention-seekers. Infatuation, in its vise-like grip, has blinded reasoning and meaning in exchange for exuberant emotion.

 

So before I say those three words again, I will give [her] the fruits of love and let the words make manifest only in affirmation.
