A lot of people doubt what Darwin and I have. Maybe because they haven't felt it yet. Maybe they haven't experienced it yet. Maybe they think this happens only in the movies. Maybe they're blessed enough to already have what/who they have and overlook that blessing. Maybe because they're still too young. Maybe because of envy and insecurity. Maybe because I'm not credible. But what we have is really special, something we don't expect everyone to understand. Kahit kami, hirap kami ipaliwanag e.

Some people question Darwin (by some people, I may mean YOU, who knows?), 'Is that really what love is all about? Sacrifices? Isipin mo, di ka na magkakababy ng inyo talaga. Isipin mo, niloko ka na nya many many times.' Even I question him. I ask him, 'Di ka ba natatakot? Di ka ba napapagod?' His answer would still be a very firm, 'I love you, at yun na yun. Kahit ako hindi ko maipaliwanag.'

Sana people will stop questioning us. Or at least him. Ako na lang kwestyonin nyo. Pero I can strongly say that I have matured and I now understand how this thing should work. If I commit another mistake and hurt Darwin in the process, bitayin nyo ko, isama nyo pa anak ko kung gusto nyo.

Is this what they call 'great love'? Maybe it is. Personally, yes. We'll know in 60 more years.

I don't think we owe an explanation to anyone anyway. So I'll just stop.

Eto lang masasabi ko: No one has the right to question us.

No regrets. Things happen for a reason. Mistakes teach you lessons. Usually it's too late for you to undo the damage, but hey. In this life, there are no losses. Only gains. You lose, you learn. Thus, you become better.

As for me, I'm just lucky because I can still somehow undo the damage. Because the person is still here. He still loves me. I guess if you really are meant to be together, nothing in this world can keep you apart. For a time, maybe yes, but you'll get back together eventually. Believe me.

I read in a book that you will keep committing the same mistakes in life until you finally learn. You have to identify the pattern. Once you have, LEARN!

For me, it's falling in and out of love, and then coming back to the arms of one and the same man. Yep. I have contemplated long enough to realize that it is him.

HE is my lesson.
