Our Young LoveBefore hitting the stage of definite maturity, we all had those moments that looking back makes you want to just laugh about it and say “Really?!” From what I learned from listening to other people's experiences to mine, these are what most of us had before we turned 20. The “I’ll never forget” puppy love – Of course we all had this, whether it was that boy who let you borrow his crayons or the girl who was your dance partner during a required school performance. The first notation about love that time was looking forward to go to school in the morning; it was pure kilig” - catching that person staring at you, or peeking in between discussions. Your siblings or friends won’t forget how crazy you were that time, and they surely will tease you about years after. You’ll never forget your puppy love, just because you don’t, it stays there. You remember the moments but the feelings are now just plain words. Out-of-my-league - at some point, you love-d someone who was out-of-your-league, she must have been the Barbie doll or the Aaron Carter of your batch and you were just a plain “commoner” who wishes that someday you’ll finally be noticed. It could also be the superstar basketball player or the most promising student. You have tried a couple of ‘moves’ to be noticed or befriended people around his/her circle but still, na-da. In the end, you just give up, admiring from afar. Then one day, you’ll see that person and realize how stupid it was to think that you weren’t meant to be together, it was a wrong timing and at the right time, you’ll be on the same page. And who knows? Maybe this time, it’ll be right for the both of you. Friends to Lovers– In your circle, there has always been this person who you secretly admire. Admit it or not, you have been attracted to that person for so long that you are both in denial that there’s something special between you two. Though it might end to ways – one that you never tried being more than friends because you’re so afraid of the consequences or you both ended up together and worked it out. We all had those crazy-all consuming love in different ways and levels, we might have wished that we met that person sooner that we there was so much time to grow and work on the relationship or wish that you met the person later in your life where you are all grown-up and have no more excess baggage of the past. At this point in our life, we might have realized that love has never been easy nor it was not as we read in books or see in movies, sometimes it gets all tangled up in different directions that challenges to step up and straighten it for our good, and this what made us think differently about the love that what we had before. In the end, it all works for the best. xoxo, M
