Many of us are wishing, praying, hoping and dreaming of having someone by our side. Naghihintay na may ihulog ang langit para sa atin. We would even try reading books about love and how to win it. Tapos kapag may nakita, we would do anything just to make the person feel that he/she is loved. We sometimes sacrifice our own happiness just to be with the person we love. In the process, we all get hurt. Tapos we would give-up thinking na love was never for us.
The misconception of humans about love and relationship is that having someone with us will make us complete. But the fact is “Love is extending one’s self to another.” It means that before we enter a relationship, we should already be COMPLETE. Otherwise, if we think that having someone will make us complete, it’s not a relationship. It’s dependence and it may not work out. When you are happy about yourself and you learn to love yourself, you may probably need not a partner (to a certain extent).
Right now, I’m trying to love myself more and to accept completeness. What happens next will be another story. But for some who may be losing hope, this affirmation may help.

Just because no one has been fortunate enough
to realize what a gold mine you are,
doesn’t mean you shine any less.
Just because no one has been smart enough
to figure out that you can’t be topped,
doesn’t stop you from being the best.
Just because no one has come along
to share your life,
doesn’t mean that day isn’t coming.
Just because no one has made this race worthwhile,
doesn’t give you permission to stop running.
Just because no one has realized how much
of a man/woman you are,
doesn’t mean they can effect your masculinity/femininity.
Just because no one has come
to take the loneliness away,
doesn’t mean you have to settle for a lower quality.
Just because no one has shown up
who can love you on your level,
doesn’t mean you have to sink to theirs.
Just because you deserve
the very best there is,
doesn’t mean that life is always fair.
Just because God
is still preparing your king/queen,
doesn’t mean that you’re not already a
queen/king.
Just because your situation
doesn’t seem to be progressing right now,
doesn’t mean you need to change a thing.
Keep shining,
Keep running,
Keep hoping,
Keep praying,
Keep being exactly what you already are….. COMPLETE
