Dear Self,

Entry#17 Yes

This past few days, i usually encounter issues about cheating in a relationship. I see stories from my facebook wall and I hear them from friends. It makes me curious as to why people cheat in a relationship? What is their sole reason? Why?

The best example of Love for me was demonstrated many years ago on the cross, where Jesus Christ was crucified for us, who were undeserving. It was an unconditional Love, regardless of what we've done or who we were, we were still saved by Jesus.

So, going back, Love should be unconditional. For me, when you Love someone, you should love everything about that person, the good and the bad. And for me Love should not just be an emotion, it is an important  decision you make. When you say Yes to a person, it should be yes to all circumstances, not just on the good days.

Relationships should include God. Because in the first place, You prayed for that someone who you are with. You prayed for that person to notice you, you cried to God when you felt like you had no chance at all, you begged God to give that person to you. That's why I will never understand why people cheat. Why do they choose to give up the relationship that they prayed for? The relationship where they've invested their love, time, effort, and material things. The relationship that they've fought for from the start.

Some say that they cheat because the Love was gone. Love alone will never be enough to sustain a relationship. That is why Relationship is a commitment. When you commit into something, you give your 100%, you don't give up on it, you will do everything and anything to keep that commitment. Just because Love was gone and just because the bed of roses you thought has its thorns, it does not mean that you could just stop and leave.  I hope everyone could realize that when you said Yes to someone, in front of God, it is a lifelong commitment to God and to that person. You can't just stop and leave when it gets hard.

So, let us keep this is mind.
Before you say Yes to someone, make sure you've prayed for it and God gave you the confirmation. Before you say Yes, make sure that you are ready to all the responsibilities that goes with it. Before you say Yes, make sure that your Yes is for a lifetime and not just for the meantime. Your yes should be a yes to good times to hard times; to victories, to failures; to highs, to lows; and to all the circumstances that you will encounter together.

Entry#16 Love

Love is something that comes unexpectedly
It comes naturally
You invest emotionally
It's not something you get instantly

Love is a commitment
It should never be lost in an argument
In love, it is always a yes,
Yes to all circumstances

Love is and will never be easy
You have to make time even if you're busy
You accept the person with all the flaws
You'll always go an extra mile, no matter what the cost

Love is sacrifice
There should be no goodbyes
It should always be hello sunrise
Together through the lows and the highs

Love is God
He has shown us true love
We could love others,
Because God loved us first.

Entry#15 Happiness

What is happiness?
Where can you find it?
Who can give it?
How can you have it?

Happiness is not a treasure that you can find
It is not a material thing that you can buy
Your happiness is not found in anyone else
It is something present in you and in no one else

Happiness is a choice
It is shouting at you in a small voice
If you will be happy is solely up to you
It is based on your decision too

Choose to be happy in all circumstances
Even if you're about to cry in some instances
Never let this world take that happiness from you
It will not be easy, but it is all up to you

You hold every key to your own happiness
Never let anyone have them
Choose yourself over anyone else
Choose Happiness, Choose yourself

Entry #14

" Are you the Right One? "

This world is full of people who are always finding the Right One, pero kahit minsan kaya naisip na nilang itanong sa sarili nila "Am I the Right One"?

Noon, ako rin lagi kong iniisip saan ko kaya makikita yung the Right One, nagkakilala na kaya kami? Kaibigan ko ba siya? Naging kaklase? Nakasalubong sa mall? Magkakasundo kaya kami? Ano itsura niya? And other typical questions. Pero later on I realize na I should not focus on finding the Right One. I should focus on being the Right One.

Ang natutunan ko,  mahalin mo ang sarili mo. Continue to develop yourself. Ayusin mo yung mga dapat ayusin. Gawin mo ang lahat ng mga bagay na magpapasaya sa iyo. Manuod ka ng sine na magisa, magtravel ka ng magisa, Spend time with yourself.  Kilalanin mo yung sarili mo, ano yung mga kalakasan at kahinaan mo bilang tao, ano ang mga nakakapagpasaya sa iyo. Ang pagiging single ay maikling panahon lang sa buhay ng isang tao. It's true, temporary lang kasi yan, spend your time in this season wisely. Wag ka magmadali.

Next, Mahalin mo yung First Love mo, si God. Punuin mo yung sarili mo ng pagmamahal galing sa iyo at sa Diyos. Spend time with God sa season mo na to, know Him deeper. Develop your relationship with Him . Know how God loves you unconditionally. And when the right time comes, pag alam na ni God na ready ka na, the right one will come along. By that time, sobra sobra na yung pagmamahal na meron ka, at kaya mo ng magmahal ng iba. You are now mature enough to handle the relationship. Yung waiting season mo gawin mong season of being the right one.

We always read about stuffs that talks about finding the Right One. But have you ever thought that your Right One is also looking for "the Right One". How can you be his/her right one if you spend almost all of your time thinking how to find that person instead of being that person?

Enjoy the season that you are in and use it to develop yourself. Because being the right one can lead you to finding the right one.
