Love principles

The other night, I met a blogger for the first time. We had a dose of coffee and conversation. Most of the topics that came up were about love and relationships, topics which I seldom talk to someone because I have limited confidante. Anyway, in the conversation, some of the beliefs and principles I that live by came up. 

• Find someone who complements you and not someone who'll complete you.
• Love yourself first before you can love others.
• Love should bring out the best in you and not the worst in you.
• Sa pag-ibig kapag may sumuko na, ibig sabihin nito tapos na ang relasyon. (syempre, you should fight for it first. pero pag di naman talaga nag-work out, dapat ng sumuko)
• Guard your heart. Don't give yourself wholly to a person. Leave some for yourself.
• Kung kayo talaga para sa isa't isa, kayo talaga sa huli.
• Kapag nagawa niyang saktan ka o lokohin ka once, malamang mauulit din yun.
• Once trust is lost or tainted it's hard to regain or mend.

Basic lang naman talaga yung mga principles na yan. Pero dala na rin ng nag-uumapaw na pagtingin sa isang tao, minsan natututunan nating kalimutan ang mga iyon.
