Love 101


If I have a lesson in love from other people that i remembered too well, that is:
"when you love, give your 100%. Always think of him, as your one true love, and if life changes course and decided that his not really the one, then you can say to yourself with dignity that, here is this man I used to love with all my heart.. and you will never regret every part of it because you know you are always true and never make a fool out of yourself.
-this one came from the popular love adviser's local radio program i had listened to in the not-so-busy nights.
Living in a dormitory allows me to meet many people that in one way or another shares me great life lesson and this evening, Ate Claire tells me the following thoughts she herself learned:
1. When a woman fall in love and enters a relationship, she must always bear in mind that loving a man also means thinking only for the best in life for his partner, even if she was a part of it or not.
2. She may contribute to the growth of their relationship most especially for him to become a better person.
3. Loving also means dreaming your years together and trying your best to accept him as much as possible, always being there for him, no matter what happened and being diligent in every situation life may bring.
What is the implication to young woman like me? Say for example, for my own case. I can say that I am a submissive woman and I know, I easily fall for a leader  type or a person who can be dominating in a nice way. What ate Claire shares to me are things I might not understand since I never even tried being into a relationship. Some may say, those were for the martyrs only. However, having the guidance from people who already lived to it can save you from any mistakes in the future.
Love, it is a very complex, in every sense but then it is also simple and fulfilling. I have witness the perfect example for this: my parents. They had gone through ups and downs, i can say mostly downs, it was never easy but because they are the partners in life, love and all the other things life has to offer, they simply go through the difficulties and surpass the challenges. I can also say that the harmony and loving atmosphere in our home is one of the great blessings from God.
There is always this one and you may wonder who she or he maybe. But trust in the Lord's time. Remember, He works in mysterious ways and be happy because He made sure, there is always a time for everything, a time for every purpose under heaven.. a time to love..
Is there any lessons in love other had shared to you? Hold on to them and in time, you will preciously be thankful for these great gems.
