kakatuwa lang... share ko...
pagnagmahal ka ng isang tao... you commit yourself to that person... you like to help them in every possible way that you can... and as much as possible you want to be by their side... to keep them safe... to make sure no harm comes near them... malamang... mahal mo ehh!!...
you commit yourself... --commitment... dedicating your life or yourself to someone or something...
but with commitment comes restrictions... and that's what people fear... they hate the thought of cornering themselves... having no options... sticking to what they HAVE to do... but isn't that a risk worth taking?... for love? love that so seldom comes our way... people fear pain... and making other people feel pain... but in order to feel the joy you seek... you have to put one foot forward... take the road... start the journey... though you see that the road you'll take will bring but again a barge of uncertainties... the chances would still be 50:50... it's either you get what you want... or have nothing at all... or if you're lucky... you could actually get more than you bargained for... or lose more... but if you stand still and let fear cover your eyes... and you let anxiety and tension stop your heart... xet~ then there will only be a 100% assurance... huwaw!! assurance... no uncertainty... assurance that you'll get nothing at all! congrats! comitting yourself would be hard... but to enjoy life more you'd also have to feel pain!
when you fall in love... your partner will be your guide... that person will be commited to you as you should be to him/her... that person will give you boundaries but then again they'll help you find your direction and will help you reach high goals... parang ganito un... --a river bank looks useless, right? but without it... will there be any river? the river bank gives the river direction... the river bank makes the river stay where they are... it gives the river it's boundary... for if not... then there'll be no river at all... the water will only spill and be of no use.."
you could choose not to commit yourself... to run away... to be free... but then what use will your life be?? for a short time... it would be fun... then you'll feel that tinggling feeling... that your lacking something... i'm not just talking about commitment to another person as in a relationship... it could be to God, to your parents, your studies... or for your dog for all i care... pero ang kulang talaga... kung wala...
