Would you change yourself to someone you're not, for the one you love?

[_Cathy_]

^That's true. Very few people really know the real me.

BTT: Not anymore. I don't want to get close to anyone anymore in the future. Doing so only makes me vulnerable to getting hurt and I don't want any of that anymore.

I am used to being alone naman. I only hate the thought that I might not be able to experience the ultimate physical expression of love between couples.

Sad...then you have not lived at all...as the old saying goes "be true to thine own self"

are you sure?why are you so scared?hurt/pain only makes us stronger..experiences make us wiser..don't you think you're missing a lot because you're holding back? I used to be like you but not anymore..i tend to push people away when im scared..as a test na rin siguro if they're worth my time or not..or if they'll be there through thick and thin..narealize ko bakit ako magwoworry eh hindi pa nga nangyayari..instead na magenjoy ka ayun problemado ka so tendency affected din yung other party..

^^^ correct!
that's part of life...sometimes you gain, sometimes you lose.
and the only way to know that is not to be scared.
you can't find your happiness if you limit your self.

Ok, here's my take. Or rather, what I read on FB.


Every relationship has a cycle.

Falling in love is a passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few months or years of being together, the euphoria of love fades. It's a natural cycle of every relationship.

The key to succeeding in a relationship is not finding the right person, it is learning to love the person you found.

You have to work on it day in and day out. It takes time, effort, and energy, and most importantly, it demands wisdom. You have to know what to do to make it work. Make no mistake about it.

So love is therefore a decision, not just a feeling.

I believe in this. I also feel like the younger generation value commitment less than our parents generation. I know so many couples older or around my age that separated/annulment from reasons like cheating or personality differences. Dati kasi it takes a lot for a couple to separate. My Mom tells me to pray, pray, pray for a good husband (I pray for someone like my Dad) because there's no turning back na even if I marry a womanizer, sugarol, addict, GAY, emotional abuser etc. The only reason I could annul is if my husband would hurt me physically. Otherwise, I have to deal with it. Scary thought

OT:

Back then gay meant BEING HAPPY.

I just had to say that .............. Ok na ako!

I am not as strong as you are I am so tired of hurt, failures and disappointments, going through would be and several relationships that all failed. This does not include the frustration of meeting people that are so perfect, but unattainabe. That's a lot of pain to deal with.

I shut myself off from people when I am hurting. Those that really care for me do not abandon me when I react that way.

And add to that "NO MAN CAN STAND ALONE"

I have my family and old friends. I am only referring to new acquaintances. It seems like as we grow older, it's harder for us to find people that we share the same values and form a bond with.

Naging strong lang naman ako kasi natuto ako sa failures ko plus everytime someone hurts you, you become stronger..you have to take risks in order for you to grow..believe me it's all worth it in the end
