The One

Feeling loved and inspired, I ask my friends, who are in long-term, serious relationships, how and when they realized that their partners were the ones. Here are their answers:

1)

"You don't know. You feel. Nagkakasundo kami palagi. And we have similar tastes."

2)

"I just felt it. Despite everything that happened to us, we still chose each other. I just knew it. Tapos nagising na lang din ako isang araw na nung nakita ko siya pagkagising ko na katabi ko siya eh iba na yung feeling ko."

3)

"Pasok siya sa criteria ko na kailangan lagi ako chinachat. Kaya nga until now lagi pa rin kami magkachat kahit nakatira na kami sa iisang bahay. Pinakaimportante dapat damang dama mo na gustong gusto ka niya.:

4)

"Hindi niya ako iniwanan in my lowest point. He's one of the people na napaka-pure ng intention. Love personified."

5)

"I just knew somehow.Yung di ako mahihiya ipakilala sa mga tao. Yung di na ako kailangan magtago."

6)

"Siguro nung nalaman ko na mas higit siya doon sa mga ex ko at yun kasi yung time na we both agreed na kung hindi rin naman kami magseseryoso e wag na kaming magsimula ng relationship."


Walang exact formula pero wala ring secret ingredient. What I learned from my friends is that realizing your partner is the one is both feeling and choosing. You'll feel strange feelings you haven't felt before - feelings of security, safety, and love - that were neither confusing nor forced. And at the same time actively and intentionally choosing your partner for who he is through the good and bad.

So there. I hope that helps.

Before Coming Out

Lately, I've been thinking of coming out. It's like I want to free of myself of the burden of keeping my identity a secret. But before I come out, I just have some personal conditions I need to accomplish first. I won't be doing these things just to earn people's approval on my lifestyle but more for me being comfortable in the path I've chosen to live.

SOML: Somebody that I Used to Know

Was there ever a time in your life when you first heard a song and felt that the song was written for you? That it might be your theme song for a certain moment or chapter in your life? Parang kiling me softly with his song lang ang peg.
