Why am I talking about Love?
Or relationships for that matter? I'm in no position, nor am I an authority on this since I cannot boast of any successful, long term relationship of my own. But this has been brought upon by a friend who's confused and another friend with a very different view from mine. I know where they are coming from, but knowing and understanding are two different things.
I took the time out from playing Zoo Tycoon in my PC to write this blog. All my free time the last two days have been solely devoted to playing. I am obssessed with it. I even had a dream about putting up different fences for my cages, or adopting a more popular animal than the male olaki. Even during mass, when the singing has become too slow, or during offertory when they are not singing my favorite offertory song (Bukas Palad), my mind will wander to my Siberian tiger, my cheetah and my favorite Giant Panda. Why am I telling you this? This nonsensical, unimportant and current obssession of mine? Well, because I was thinking maybe this is the same way my friend is obssessed with her guy. (Yes, she will be flattered to death that I finally had an inkling of her obssession and comparing her supposedly committed-elsewhere Prince Charming to an African warthog.)
Anyway, what I wanted to point out is that I have no idea on how she really feels about the guy. From the outside, it just seem so wrong, so illogical, and so stupid to still be hanging on. But we don't have any clue on what's going on inside. So I told her she decide. The thing is, I wanted to tell her that if she decides to stay, then she waived all rights and privileges to whine and complain about her hopeless situation. I want to tell her, but of course friendship has no ifs and buts, only about support. And I'm willing to give mine.
I may not know about relationships, lust, boy-girl love, or even the Hopelessly In Love, but I do know what I HOPED True Love is. It's there. What I already wrote about. It'll set you free. It'll give you wings so that you can fly. And it won't make you compromise your beliefs, principles in life. In other words, it's falling in love without losing yourself. What's more, it'll help you be the best you can be.
Now, where was I? Ah, okay...I'm about to adopt an arctic wolf. Tee hee.
pare... i agree with you... there is true love. minsan nga lang we are not looking towards the right direction. for true love is not only about giving... nor only about receiving. it is the dynamic exchange of giving and receiving wherein the object becomes the subject at the same time. galing nu? sana in love ako ngayon...
