Risk it all for Love
Sooner or later, love is going to get you. Should you take all chances for it?
You grew up scared of what might happen if you did something wrongly. You’ve been wanting to be perfect in the eyes of your family and friends. You’re scared to fail. You don’t want to be judged. You’re afraid to disappoint the people around without considering your happiness.
But as years passed by, I saw a different side of you. You weren’t afraid of taking risks — especially when it has to do with love.
It happened once, you traveled around 801.9 km just to be with the person you thought would do anything for you. You’ve allowed the person to be your world. You somehow sacrificed your career for him. You were happy back then, not until the day you learned that he cheated on you.
I was amazed on how you handled the situation. You knew your worth and stepped out right away. He was telling you fancy words but you chose to do the right thing for the betterment of his soon to be family.
You’ve recovered from pain as early as I thought you would. You quickly learned to drop the fear of embarrassment because all of the utmost things in life leave the worry of being awkward.
But as the risk taker that you’ve always been in love, you took another step by leaving everything behind and dropping all the judgments when you traveled 843.9 km just to be with the new man in your life.
You barely knew him then; you were just holding on the thought that he might be the one. As time passed, you slowly learned about him having a child. But it didn’t stop you for believing the love he’s offering you. You’ve shut-off the voices that were telling you that you deserve a better man and stayed with him. You’ve dealt it with so much maturity.
Being with him made you experience a roller coaster ride of life. The princess you’ve always been before became the poor servant financially, physically and emotionally.
You chose him more than the comfortable living your parents provided. You were willing to lose the people you’ve gained in life just for him. You’ve allowed someone once more to be your world as you slowly forgot about you.
You’ve heard so many painful things from me. You knew how I’d always punch you with words of reality. I knew back then that you thought the world was mad at you. You didn’t know how it pains me to see you suffer when we know for a fact that you could always come back. I hated how you had to go through life and death situation before you realized the things that we’ve been praying for you.
A year later, you came back. You came back being ashamed in front of us. I knew right then and there that you weren’t sure if you still have a friend in me. I’m not sure if you noticed but I acted like nothing has changed. Well, it’s because there really wasn’t anything that changed with the way I see you. You are still the best friend and the sister I’ve gained since college.
I am proud of you. I’ve seen you fall many times. I’ve seen you cry and hurting. And yet no matter how many hurtful words I’ve thrown you and your man, you remained strong. And if you’re strong, it’s only because you’ve been weak.
He should be grateful that you came in and stayed. You know your worth. You know what you deserve. And I hope he always remember that. I hope he never forget everything you’ve been through. And I hope he’ll always choose you, because you deserve all the love the world could offer.
