Love does not measure time and effort spent with each other. The spontaneous desire to be together is simply greater than an interest to do any other activity.
The electricity generated by just sitting or standing side by side is enough to light your days. It doesn’t matter where you are, what you do. It’s just your world, the two of you together.
The other day, I accompanied my daughter in Glorietta. We came in two separate cars. Then she sent her driver home so she could ride with her boyfriend who’s coming from work. I told her it’s exciting to be together, yan pag mag boyfriend, ganyan susunduin, when you’re in the car, the world stops and it’s just the two of you. Kwentuhan and you don’t notice the heavy traffic. Enjoy lang kayo magkasama.
When you are in love, you don’t measure the amount of time you spend with this person. No one forces you to be with her/him. It’s your own volition. You like him/her so it’s just natural that you are always excited to be with him/her. It should not be an effort that’s dictated or tallied. You are simply following what your heart desires.
For budding romances, it’s expected that your schedule would revolve around his/her schedule. Kasi nga, if given the chance, you just want to spend the whole time together. That shouldn’t be imposed at least consciously.
There would be times your schedules would not match, love must not begin to compare and tally “I spend more time with you than with my friends”. It shouldn’t be this way. In the first place, no one forced you to spend time with her/him. Love is spontaneous. You spend time with him/her because you want to, not because you have to, not because you want to be given a thank you card for spending time with him/her. That’s not what love is.
Hi Ms Annie,
Here’s my all time favourite bible quote on love.
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
May your children find their one true love.
God bless you Ms Annie.

It’ nice to be in love, Ms Annie.. 🙂 You have been in love with the same guy for the past 30+ years and u are still happy together in wedded bliss.. 😉 Pretty Oyen is in love with her boyfriend and hopefully they will end up together so u can soon hear the patter of little feet running around ur house.. 😉 and Handsome Nyke is probably in the middle of a beautiful relationship as well.. 😉
Love is unpredictable and spontaneous.. No one knows for sure when the RIGHT PERSON will come in ur life.. But if and when it happens, it is becoz God knows u deserve the kind of LOVE and HAPPINESS that Special Someone has given u.. 😉
You are the best example of having the RIGHT kind of LOVE, Ms Annie.. 😉
it may not be perfect, but u still chose to stay in this relationship for so long, simply becoz u BELIEVE in ur heart that it’s not the IMPERFECTIONS and FLAWS of two individuals that matters..
