I posted this blog on facebook, but i thought i should post one here too since this is my fortress of thought anyways.

So im writing this after watching an episode of the GMA series Marimar.

I just need somewhere to vent my thoughts, cause it gave me a new outlook on the idea of love. This is no homo. I just wanted to deep talk with myself.

First of all the series is addicting, not because of the plot, because in all honesty the plot kinda sucks. It’s a rollercoaster ride of emotions of sadness and happiness. No homo or anything. The love between the two main characters is the only reason im still watching the series. Mahal kita, walang iba. I love you, there is no one else.

True Love doomed to always want but never have. It makes me sad that two star-crossed lovers destined to be together can never be together because of malice and selfishness in this world. Someone always wants revenge. It’s sad because no matter how much love they have for each other, no matter how many times they hurt each other, no matter how many times they rise and fall with each other, they can never find true happiness. Now this is the question I ask myself every time I think about the subject of relationships and love: Is it worth it? Are the good times good enough to outweigh all the bad times, or are you just hurting yourself? Is it worth it, because you can’t see yourself loving someone else or because it’s comfortable, it’s what your used to? Can you really never see yourself wanting anyone else.

That’s the entirety of it. What is Love? Is it a feeling, an action, a longing? I guess that what I’ve been trying to figure out during my adolescent life. It’s kinda dumb, because some people spent their entire lives trying to find, and figure out what love is, and here I am an 18 year old boy who has never been kissed, trying to sum it up. Why are people so fixated with love? What about love makes a person so self sacrificial? I wonder… I’m in love with the whole concept of love. I’ll admit it—I’m a Fucking Hopeless Romantic. Maybe thats why im soo fixated on trying to what it is? Is love a feeling, a thought, or a desire? I've only seriously had crushes, no real serious relationships, but a lot of friends. I have never really experienced romantic love, only love from family and friends. There are billions of love songs in the world, maybe i just want to know what everyone is singing about.

Some people think Love is all you need. Love is the answer. Love can heal all wounds. But can it? I know Love is hard. It takes time, sacrifice, compromise, but can it really save the world? Can it save your world? Can you honestly tell me you would gamble away everything in your life, your life, your passions, and your potential happiness for something that is not guaranteed? Something that is sure to have you crying, laughing, hurting, Trying. I guess people who get married are ready for something like that. They are willing to put the time, the effort, the sacrifice, and the compromise into a relationship that will become stronger in theory than any other relationship ever experienced. I know im not there yet. But its kinda nice thinking (no homo) that someday we all might love someone that much once day, that we would be willing to give our mind, body, soul, and the unconditional promise symbolized in the band wrapped around our fingers that we will love each other with our entire being.

That leads me into my next thought. What is it about love or relationships in general that scares people? Is it the commitment, is it the fear that the person you are with won’t return your feelings. Those are legitimate reasons to be afraid of love, but in my opinion I don’t think people are afraid of love. I think when people say they are afraid of commitment they are actually saying I don’t trust the idea of love, which is completely understandable. Maybe someone hurt them? But to anyone, who thinks love that they don’t need to love anyone or anyone to love them, I just want to tell those people that I feel bad for them.

Our purpose in life is to love. We are beings made to love. We love being touched, we love being kissed, we love being thought of. We love special surprises. We love being held in security. We love having someone to turn to when our day isn’t going well. We love having someone to call, and a hand to hold when we have a little too much on our plate, a little more than we can handle. We love having the person in our corner supporting us and telling us we can do it. Someone whispering in our ears… I love you. It’s nice, especially when you whisper back… I love you too.


Now here the question I prose: Would you trade everything for love?
