When we’re in love, it shouldn’t make us fall, but rather, grow.
Falling in love is easy, it could be love at first sight, second sight or whatever way of falling in love we could possibly name. But the journey doesn’t stop there. You have to ask yourself: How will you maintain being in love? Staying is the hardest part. Humans are not perfect, so is your partner. So I think it takes a lot of trust and never-ending forgiveness for both parties to maintain such relationship. When we’re in love, it shouldn’t make us fall, but rather, grow. Love must motivate us to grow—in all aspects of our being. And often times, love will teach us to let go of a habit, feeling, and even a person. Well I won’t talk about my experience of letting someone go in this latest blog ’cause I already did here.
I’m turning 20 this year. People of my age are, presumably, stressing about finding the love of their life now or else they will grow old alone. But that doesn’t apply to me, I have different goals and priorities at this age. Currently, I am working on my career. Securing my future and helping improve the life of my parents. And no, I am not scared of the thought of growing old alone—yet I never imagined myself with gray hair and no hand to hold. Ironic, isn’t it?
I believe in timing. That God’s timing is always perfect. For now, I’ll allow myself to grow more and become a better individual. To pursue become the woman God wants me to be. To glow in my own phase, to become the light of others by imparting my life to them, to you who is reading this right now. Life has so much more to offer. Just open your eyes and experience it.
