Sat With Ree: Love = Pain

Was Ed Sheeran right when he said that, "loving can hurt?" 

Personally, I believe that it can. Not all the time, though, just sometimes. The million dollar question is, how often is that "sometimes?" That's the thing about sometimes, you know it doesn't last, but you will never see it coming.

Anyway, maybe we can all agree that loving can really hurt. A priest said on one of the online masses that I watched that loving someone can really cause you pain. Because if you love someone, you will always have compassion towards the people that you love. I also read somewhere on the internet that, "the person you love the most hurt you the most," and I couldn't agree more. Anyone can hurt you physically, but it takes a special person to hurt you emotionally. You can be the toughest person on earth, but for sure there is always that one person you have a soft spot for. 

Love often hurts when the person that you love doesn't meet your expectations, or when they do the exact opposite of the things that you don't want them to do. When the person that you love lies to you, there's a chance that you will also get hurt. There are also times when you unintentionally hurt the people that you love. Each one of us has our own different takes when it comes to pain. Others can get hurt on the things that other people find insignificant. On the other hand, there are some people who has a higher tolerance when it comes to getting hurt. 

The people you love may disappoint you at times, but that doesn't mean that you would stop loving them. Your love towards them should always outweighs their mistakes. (I am talking about love in general, though, not love towards your significant others. 😁) "Love keeps no record of wrongs." You cannot expect the people you love to give the same amount of love that you give. That's not how it works. You cannot and you should not beg someone to love you. Love should be given freely without expecting anything in return. Love isn't an investment because with an investment you are always expecting for a return.

Love isn't perfect. You should always expect to get hurt when you give love, but that shouldn't stop you from loving. Because what's life without love? To love and to be loved in return are two of the best feelings in the world. We all have the ability to love. We are all capable of loving someone. At the same time, each one of us are worthy to be loved. We don't need to have a specific characteristic for us to be worthy of love. We are all deserving to be loved despite our flaws and imperfections. Never ever say that nobody loves you because surely there will always be at least one person who loves you. God is always there to love you despite all your shortcomings. God's love is unconditional.   

Love is the most important thing in the world. Without love, everything that you do is meaningless.

Yeah, Ed Sheeran was right when he said that, "loving can hurt." But did you notice that he also mentioned that, "it is the only thing that makes us feel alive?" 




Ciao.😊

Sat With Ree: Westlife The Twenty Tour

Tell me you're a 90's kid without telling me that you're a 90's kid.  So, I say a little prayer  And hope my dreams will take me there  Where the skies are blue  To see you once again, my love  Overseas, from coast to coast  To find a place I love the most  Where the fields are green  To see you once again  My love Taas ang dalawang paa nong mga napakanta. Yieeeeeeee. If you know the song you definitely had an amazing childhood. Natatandaan ko nong bata pa ako nanghihiram pa kami ng VCD ng Westlife don sa tiyohin namin na kapitbahay lang namin. Ang laman ng VCD syempre music video ng Westlife. Tapos yong pinsan ko tili ng tili tuwing nanunuod lalo na kapag si Nicky yong pinapakita. Crush na crush niya kasi noon si Nicky. Tapos ang bet ko noon si Mark. Ang kukulit kasi nila don sa mga music videos nila. Tapos kapag Saturday sa Channel 5 (hindi ko alam kung anong name nong channel basta Channel 5 siya sa amin) music video yong mga pinapalabas. Kasama don yong 'Bop Bop

Sat With Ree: Jab We'll Done

Surprisingly, I had my 2nd dose of anti-covid vaccine earlier than I was expecting. It happened last Monday, November 22. If you want to read about what happened during my first dose just click this.  I already expected a long line and a lot of people in the vaccination site, so I wasn't surprised when I got there. It was crowded. It felt like I went to school for an enrolment because there are really a lot of children there with their own chaperone.  I went there at almost two in the afternoon. The good thing is that there are designated lines for children, for those who will be having their first dose, and for second dose. There were only 3 people in the line for the second dose when I got there.  Unlike during my first dose where I didn't wait that long, this time the waiting took me three hours to get my second dose vaccine. Fortunately, there was a waiting area outside and it wasn't raining, but it was the hottest time of the day. I had my blood pressure checked before

It's Our 8th

Happy 8th Anniversary to us, blogspot. At sa'yo na palaging nagbabasa ng mga blogs ko, maraming maraming salamat sa paglalaan ng oras. Sana andiyan ka pa rin next anniversary natin at sa susunod pang anniversary at sa madami pang anniversary na icecelebrate natin dito sa blogspot.  Maybe you're wondrin' paano nga ba nagsimula ang pagsusulat ko dito? If you're a "legit" reader of my blogs especially the old ones you probably have an idea on how I struggled with finding a job. Kaya madami akong time mag-browse ng internet at madami akong time magbasa. Gustong-gusto ko noon na magbasa ng mga articles or mga inspiring stories. Everytime I read a well-written story especially the ones written in pure english I am always impressed with the writer. Doon nagsimula yong pangarap ko na maging isang magaling na manunulat. Gusto ko rin maging katulad nila. That time gusto ko rin magsulat at may mainspire ako sa mga sinulat ko. That time I was following a lifestyle blogger
