All of us wonder and think if.
Is there that one person that will make everything alright?
Is there really a certain someone that will complete you and accept you through your thick and thins?
We are humans and it is our main goal in life to make every second count.
So why is it so hard to make that all a reality?
The answer is within us. Love is a very powerful force that makes us to do actions regardless of its outcome.
But really LOVE? Isn't that a bit absurd?
I know all of you would have felt it once being the one that is left.
So I don't know how I will start this but I'll start by introducing myself.
I'm Jerome Cruz. 19 years old from Sampaloc, Manila.
My story is not so odd for the rest of you. The truth is I'm a very social anti-social. I know a lot of you would wonder how's that possible while others will think of me as a crazy person.
Okay, before you ask any question let me tell you my story first.
I was a 3rd year high school student. Same as any other students I prepare for exams and live my high school life with joy.
But there was this transfer student that made all the boys in the hallway glance their heads. She was Melanie Devera. One of the popular girls in the school and she is also my best friend.
I know all of you might wonder how did she became my best friend but there is nothing really strange about it cause the day she came to our school I was the only guy who had the guts to show her around.
That's how we became friends frankly most of the guys in school hated me because of that but I really didn't care. The reason is that every time that I'm with her I feel that everything is going to be alright. We've been friends for a long time now like 3-4 months or so. We enjoyed each other's company and always tend to go home after school together.
One day while we were walking home. The moment came when I felt that I have built up enough courage to tell her how I feel for her.
" Uhm, hey Mel I think I need to tell you something" Jerome said.
"What is it" Melanie responded.
"Well you know that we've been friends for a long time now and I think it's not fair that I keep things from you right?" Jerome asked.
"Yeah sure, so what's the thing that you're hiding from me?" asked Melanie.
"The thing is that I have liked you ever since we first met and I know being friends is really important but I just can't stand here and hide all of my emotions". "The thing is that I love you with all of my heart Mel and I don't know what I'm going to do without you" said Jerome.
"I don't know Jerome you've only known me for 3 months and you're saying those things already". "I think it's for the better if we don't talk to each other for a while" Melanie responded.
Then she run off and left me on the sidewalk all alone. I was so shocked on what she had said. I wanted to chase her but her words made me scared of what will happen if I did. I didn't knew how to respond on that so I just stood there thinking about what I did wrong.
A month had past and everything wasn't the same anymore. Mel evaded me every single time that I've tried talking to her. I knew what I did was out of the blue but her acting this way just made things worst.
I guess that's when I realized that there is really no forever.
I was hurt, alone and bitter and I didn't knew what to do that's when I started becoming anti-social. It was so hard at first then I got used to it. I started evading my other friends and started studying alone. I don't get along with anyone anymore.
Love is the most powerful emotion. Yeah, right that was what I used to think.
People only tend to see things that matter. That's the truth no one will ever get close to you unless they need something. That's what I've thought. And I was right. I've realized how special life is and on how people really are frauds after I've became anti-social. And to me I've felt like it was a blessing to a better understanding of why were really here.
2 years had passed and I've moved on what happened on my high school days. Started my college life but now living in the shadows. Being anti-social had its perks I never need to put my hopes on anyone which means no disappointment. And also it helped me in being low profile.
You see, after graduating high school I applied for a DJ spot on a radio station. I'm known as DJ Cross. Cause I helped a lot on healing broken hearts with my advices. And that's how I've become the social anti-social. I socialize under the voice of DJ Cross yet I don't socialize on the outside world.
This is my story on how I helped those who've been hurt in this so called love.
Cause in reality once thing is clear and it's that
#WalangForever
