A Piece of Something!

While I was walking, I stopped for a while and thought of things I don’t have. Then I realized that the happiest of all people don’t necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve got until we lose it, but it’s also true that we don’t know what we’re missing until it arrives.

In the gateway of my heart I put a sign that says, “No Trespassing” but love came laughing and said, “I enter everywhere”. Love knows no reason. Love knows no lies. Love defies reasons, love has no eyes, but love is not blind. It sees but it doesn’t mind. Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, the romance and you find you still care for the person. Love is supposed to be the most wonderful feelings. It should aspire you and give you joy and strength. But sometimes the things that give you joy can also hurt you in the end. It starts with a smile, develops with a kiss, and ends with a tear.

When you love, you must not expect anything in return. If you do, you’re not loving but investigating. If you love; you must prepare to accept pain. For if you accept happiness you’re not loving but using. Don’t go for looks. It can deceive: don’t go for wealth, even that fades away: go for someone who makes you smile, make a dark day seem bright.

The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not twist them to fit our own image otherwise we love only the reflections of ourselves we find in them. Never impress someone for the rest of your life. A sad thing about life is that you meet someone who means a lot to you only to find out in the end that it was never bound to be, and you just have to let him go. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we should know how to be grateful for the gift. We oftentimes don’t see the reason why we don’t always get what we want, but in the end of it all, we realize that what we wanted wasn’t meant for us, after all, everything happens for a reason. When you feel down because you didn’t get what you wanted, just sit tight and be happy because God is thinking of something better for you.

It hurts to love someone and not loved in return, but what is the most painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel. It’s always better to have found the courage in love even if you lose it in the end rather than never finding love because you were too afraid to face its challenge. The greatest regrets in our lives are the risks we didn’t take. If you think something will make you happy, go for it. Remember that you only pass this way once.

Love no matter how hard you find it, it won’t… No matter how hard you try, you won’t get it. But when you’re about to give up, it comes. Sometimes the love we are looking for is right in front of us—too close for the eyes to see. So close, your eyes and heart see it self. There are things you love to hear but you can never hear it from a person who says it with his heart. Just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want him or her doesn’t mean that they don’t love you with all that they have. There are so many stars in the sky, only some are radiant to be noticed. Among those you choose to ignore is the one, which is willing to shine for you forever even if your glance remains elsewhere. God never closes a door without opening a window. He always gives something better when He takes something away. Heartbreaks will last as long as you want and cut deep as you allow them to go. Challenge is not how to survive heartbreaks but to learn from them. In relationship, thank God you’re hurting or crying. There you are given a chance to measure the importance of the person because you experienced suffering. We have no right to ask when sorrows come, “Why this happens to me?”, unless we ask the same question for every moment of happiness that comes our way. When God puts a tear in your eye, it’s because He wants to put rainbow in your heart.

A heart truly in love never loses hope but always believe in the promise of love. No matter how long the time and distance. Never say goodbye when you still want to try. Never give up when you still feel you can take it. Never say you don’t love the person anymore when you could not let go. True love doesn’t have a happy ending, that’s because true love doesn’t have an ending.

"When you love, you must not expect anything in return. If you do, you’re not loving but investing."

I would go against with that statement. Why? Because when you love somebody, you are definitely expecting the person to love you also. It's stupidity to say that it's ok if your bf or gf doesn't love you as long as you love him/her, right? It's normal to love and it's normal also to long to be loved in return. As one of the lines of the piece said,"It hurts to love someone and not loved in return."

It is true that when we love never expect that a person whom you truly love will love you in return the way you love him or her.

Loving is not owning
You can let me go.

Never let yourself seek a beauty alone but seek the character and his/her spiritual life. Many says " Beauty is useless but the character is the best". I do agree in them.

I really appreciate the story because in loving a person... expect the unexpected.Served this as a challenge to win the game in life

Tagam! said...

Ms. Nice . . . i'm little bit confused of what u r saying. R u saying that we should not expect to be loved in return? That's totally foolishness, on my own prerogative. Why? Because as I have said, it is normal to love and to expect to be loved in return, although, maybe not to the same extent and level.

Tagam! said...

Ms. Flora Mae, would you elaborate your comment? I didn't get it, please. What do you mean by: "Expect the unexpected"?

"CHALLENGE IS NOT HOW YOU SURVIVE HEARTBREAKS BUT TO LEARN FROM THEM"

It's true that when you love, you have to take the risks and challenges out of it. Taking the risks of getting hurt is a part of loving a person and that's what I've learned!

when i was read this story, "a piece of something",..i really appreciated,touch, and inpired..by loving a person you have to take the risks..if you really hurt and cry,it means you are loving a person..you don't have to be the perfect one,but be the right one with your partner..if you love a person, you don't have to expect anything in return...if you do, you're not loving but investing...in this world,nobody is perfect..only God is perfect..if you enter the kingdom of love,you have to accept everything,you already know what is the consequences,..be patient,understanding,total commitment,open communication,and most importantly God is the center of the relationship...

nice said...

............u know what sir!
......it is not that we should not expect,but try not to expect so much! I know also that loving a person is not investing but instead it is your willingness and your freewill to love him/her.

...........I just only put in my mind that i love cause God love me first!........................

nice said...

dba! when we love it should not be selfish.You should be sensitive enough to your partner.

......aaaaaheeemmmmmmmmmm! nakapagsalita ako!............

Tsk tsk Ms. Nice . . . we are not talking here about God's love to us. Even God himself is pleading us to love Him also with all willingness of heart. How much more for humans, is it not right and just to love and to be loved in return?

And it is not selfishness to expect to be loved in return. And one thing more, I don't agree with the statement that for us to experience joy in loving, we have to undergo painful diappointments. Why? Simple because it is not the LOVE that causes the pain, it's the action of the partner, right?

sir,,i'm happy for you..nakita nA jud u..imong one and trully love...ikaw njud sir..best wishes,...invyt meH huh...wediNg u...heheheh...cenxa na sir...you deserve it sir nathz...:)

Good Ms. Wyn? jejeje . . . It's direct to the point but i can't get it, jejeje. Why don't you try to give your comment to other commentators about expecting to be loved in return?

Is there any other way of avoiding the pain and risks of loving Mr. Brigzz?

Tagam! said...

Wow Ms. Joy . . . I really appreciate your comment. That's what I am looking for. Based on personal experience. Because promises are really made to be broken, when you love the person, you have to fulfill the promise of love to make the relationship lasts for the rest of your lives.

Tagam! said...

Kahilak man pud ta nimo Ms. Clay. Tarong bi, puwede maulaw . . . Anyway, "if you really hurt and cry,it means you are loving a person." Question? Do we really need to undergo such situation, to be hurt and cry, just to justify your love?

nice said...

yeah right!

brigzz said...

...i cant exactly tell you sir that we can avoid the pain because i believe when you are hurt,it means that you are loving....dba sir?

nice said...

whyn said...

sir.ikaw ra baya ang nangayo sa amo ug comment ha?no need for to explain to other commentators.sir wa koy labot anang love2.ang ako sir,tabange me sa questionnaire sa thesis.naglisod me ni brigs..

Tagam! said...

Ana diay na Brigzz, hehehe.

Ani man gud ni, maestorya man gyod nato ni no.

If you are going to think it over, it is not the LOVE that hurts us, it's the irrational action of our partner. Loving is a precious experience but being hurt is not the end of loving, it's the how and why he/she treated your relationship.

Tagam! said...

Morag di motoo aning Menchie ug Flor . . . tinga man pud ta ug walay experience.

Menchie? Walay experience?

whyn said...

loving doesn't involve money,that's why don't expect anything in return.It's really a big different between loving someone to loving a work.

clayzkee_03@yahoo.com said...

for me sir,based on my xperience..i cry and hurt...sobrang sakit...kahit na stupid dahil iniyakan ko siya..i have no regret about that,.kailangan din naman tau umiyak para marelease un pain natin..but,if you do ur best para sa partner u din useless ang lahat ng effort..u have ur choice naman to let go or just go on..in my past relationship,i undergo by hurting sum1...sinaktan nya ako..pero i forgive him,kaya lang hndi kmi nagka2luyan..thanks God i hav found sum1 hu his beter dan him..

Tagam! said...

Asa man ang inyong assignment? Pangita mo sa internet rewyn ug questionnaire. Dalha diri sa akong atubangan kay atong i-check!

In a relationship, their should be an unconditional love between the two of you. Their should be also give and take relationship. It is not good if one party will love and the other will not. It is unfair. You should expect that there are trials will come and you have to be ready whatever circumtances it may take.

whyn said...

Yes! It's true!When person loves,you musn't expect anything in return, but its abnormal when he/she doesn't expect any love in return. That person is stupid as what you'd said, right? I want to invest the love in return for my love given in him or her.It's a psychotic illness when you don't expect love to your lover.I agree not to expect thing from a lover. but the love must be given to me.
