Distance: Irony of life

Ironies of life.

DISTANCE

It is a relative word.

You may be hundreds of kilometers away but you feel so close to each other and never felt alone.

You may be also only 2 feet away but you feel so distant to each other and still feel alone.

Choose

If you love someone ask them for nothing. Don't hold them from their destiny. Don't keep them from going off in search of their own answers. Don't ask them for commitment. You will know commitment is real when it is something given willingly, and not as something obligatory. Don't ask them for promises. If you are patient, if you have faith, you will know in your heart when the right time for promises has come.And when that time arrives, then you will see that you have both lost nothing by setting each other free, and have instead gained a richer,fuller life, a wealth of experiences, and a stronger certainty of your desires.But should they return to you, then life hasn't cheated you because no promises were broken. Your bitterness will not last long, and you will feel thankful and blessed that at the very least,this beautiful soul has colored your life, that knowing them has already made life infinitely more meaningful.By setting a person a free, you run arisk of them not returning. But always remember that you found them beautiful precisely because they are free. People are like sunlight. You can feel their warmth, and their glow, but "you can't hold them in your hand and keep them with you forever". People choose to stay. But a choice is made more meaningful when it is made despite so many other options.

Huwag Kang Hihinto

Kapag di na maganda ang katayuan ay kailangan ng maglakad... Ang pagkamit ng balanse sa buhay ay tulad ng pagsakay ng bisikleta... Kailangan mong patuloy na pumadyak para makamit ang balanse at umusad... Huwag kang hihinto.

Kapag malabo ang kuha ng camera ay kailangan mong ayusin ang pokus nito at baka sakaling luminaw... Ayusin ang lente hanggang sa makuha mo ito... Kung mahirap at pagod ka na, pwede kang magpahinga pero... Huwag kang hihinto.

Kapag nagmamaneho may isang laging aral ang aking ama sa akin... "Wag ka magmadali... makakarating ka rin." Ito ay ginagamit kong gabay sa pang-araw-araw na buhay at hindi lang sa paglusong sa lansangan... Huwag kang magmadali pero hanggang sa makarating ka sa paruruonan ay... Huwag kang hihinto.

When you love, you give it your all even if you know you could be hurt. Loving is a risk. It is a gamble. You do things without being asked. You give yourself that could take a part of you forever. You do it without knowing if it will given back. Reciprocated. That’s why it’s called unconditional love. Loving a person makes you vulnerable. It destroys your checklists and logical reasonings. Those pre-relationship non-negotiables suddenly becomes negotiables. You adjust for your partner. You say sorry despite you are not really at fault. This is because you value the relationship more than your ego and your pride. You know you are in love when you let go of your ego and pride. Despite you are angry and hurt, you still care and think about the person. It hurts because you care so much for the person. You could not let go of the good memories you have made and shared together. You cannot easily throw those moments instantly. It hurts because your love one is now a part of your life and it feels that a part of you hurt your very self... and a part of you is now lost.
