That little thing called Love

Actually made a feature article! Made this for our school newspaper! Here's the article! Hope you like it and tell me your insights. :)

Have you ever experienced daydreaming of your longtime crush? Has there ever been a time when you met their eye and got a giddy feeling inside? How about receiving or getting a gift from your special someone and getting all ‘kilig’, as we call it? Or have that mutual understanding between you and your crush wherein you both like each other but can’t let your feelings out?

Well, everyone has experienced those things. Each of us has had that special someone who could light up our day, make us face the hardships of life, smile those pains away, make our whole human-being enlighten and could make us love him or her more. Many of us hide these crushes and keep it bottled up to ourselves so no one could ever know. But, some people would spread the whole news so that the whole school could know. A lot would blog or express their feelings through the Internet. And, some are just plain heartbroken and want to find the right person to replace that empty gap in their injured heart. There’s a whole bunch of things people do with a crush, but no one in particular in this whole wide world cannot have that one man or woman of their dreams.

I bet you’ve always dreamt about that special man in your heart. The one who could save you from your troubles and be your Knight in Shining Armor, or that guy who’s too-cute-but-with-a-hint-of-rebellious-and-a-dash-of-sporty type. That one boy who will do whatever it takes to have your heart. The one who will crack corny-as-hell jokes just to make you smile or sing and dance to your favorite song the best he can, even if it meant humiliating himself in the process.

You either dreamt of waking up beside your soon-to-be bride with a big smile on her face and heart-warming persona. The girl that who could just make you happy by doing this oh-so-awkward dance step. The one you call “the girl of your dreams” and the person you want to be with ‘til end of time. That girl with just one flip of her hair and you could just see how breathtaking she is.

You would say, “I hope she would like me the same way I do to her so we could be together,” or something like, “I wish he’d be mine so we could live happily ever after”. As my favorite author has written, “The world is not a wish-granting factory.” I just want to say, if the one you admire does not want you back, accept it then He would do the rest. Keep in mind that he or she is not the only man or woman in the world. There’s a ton of fish in the sea.

To have a crush is ordinary but to express love to that certain person is extraordinary. Love begins at one “Hello,” and ends at a single fight. One single greeting then leads to a crush, a sweet conversation then to getting to know each other and finally to being together. It’s not bad to have that “it girl.” At least you don’t do malicious doings. Let us keep in mind that “Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in others people's sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes.” - Corinthians 13: 4-8
