Nararanasan mo na ba 'yung pakiramdam na tila lahat sa paligid mo ay nababalot ng pag-ibig, habang ikaw naman ay parang palaging sumasakay sa biyahe ng pag-ibig mag-isa?
Sa pamilya mo, sa mga kapatid mo, o sa barkada, ikaw 'yung laging walang kasabay.
Ang pagmamahal ay isang kakaibang pakiramdam, at minsan, napapaisip ka kung paano ba nararamdaman ng iba ang mainlove, magmahal, at ang minamahal.
Ang kaharian ng pag-ibig ay tila naglalaro sa paligid mo, at minsan, parang ikaw lang ang nanonood mula sa labas. Iniisip mo kung paano kaya ang pakiramdam kapag naglalakad ka sa daan kasama ang iyong kapatid at ang kanyang kasintahan. Ano kaya ang pinag-uusapan nila? Paano kaya nararamdaman ang paghawak ng kamay ng taong minamahal? May mga oras ba na nararamdaman mo ang pangangailangan ng isang ka-holding hands o kasama sa romantic na moment?
Love is indeed a wonderful thing, at tulad ng isang hopeless romantic, napapaisip ka kung kalian darating ang oras na magiging bahagi ka rin ng ganitong mga eksena.
Na sa kabila ng pagiging third wheel o ang pagiging walang partner, patuloy kang naniniwala sa kahulugan ng pag-ibig at umaasa na isang araw, darating din ang iyong pagkakataon na makaranas ng tamis ng romantikong pagmamahalan.
Crinth Risza Villamor is a hopeless romantic girl, who possesses a deep and idealistic belief in love and romance, often seeking out the enchanting and passionate aspects of relationships. She tends to have a vivid imagination, frequently daydreaming about fairy-tale love stories and envisioning a perfect, soulful connection with a significant other.
She is the type of girl that is likely to be sentimental and appreciative of romantic gestures, she easily find joy in small, thoughtful acts of love. She might be drawn to classic romantic gestures like handwritten love letters, candlelit dinners, and meaningful gifts. Her heart is sensitive, and she may be easily moved by expressions of emotion and genuine affection.
And despite of disappointments and setbacks, she still continues to believe in the transformative power of love, always hoping for a deep and lasting connection that fulfills her romantic ideals.
In the tale she spins, she often pictures herself as a princess, convinced that a prince is the missing piece in her story—the one to lean on and share her dreams with. Yet, what if this prince, rather than being the solace she seeks, becomes the unwitting cause of her heartbreak?
In her daydreams, the fairy-tale script takes an unexpected twist. The prince, initially cast as the hero of her story, transforms into a figure who inadvertently inflicts wounds on her heart. The once enchanting castle, filled with hopes and aspirations, now echoes with the melancholy strains of disappointment.
She once believed he was the one—the prince who would shield her from the darkness. However, she soon realized he wasn't the prince destined to save her from life's trials. Instead, he emerged as her valiant knight, a supportive figure but not the one meant to complete her fairy tale. Although he wore the title of a prince, she wasn't the princess destined for him.
Despite her heart's yearning for a shared kingdom, she faced the bittersweet truth that love doesn't always follow the script we envision. In a selfless act of love, she found the strength to release him from the binds of their romantic entanglement. It became evident that his dreams were intricately woven with a different princess, and her own happiness lay in setting him free to pursue that path.
She chose to be the architect of her own sacrifice, allowing him to chase after his dreams and be united with his true princess. In relinquishing the dream of being his princess, she embraced a different kind of love—one founded on selflessness and the courage to put someone else's happiness above her own.
As the curtain fell on the romantic scenes she had imagined, she discovered a newfound strength in letting go, recognizing that love takes diverse forms and sometimes involves acts of profound sacrifice. In this poignant chapter of her story, she emerged not as the damsel in distress, but as a heroine of her own narrative, willing to sacrifice her love to ensure the happiness of the one she held dear.
She grapples with the paradox of love, discovering that even the most captivating tales can be laced with chapters of sorrow. As she navigates her own narrative, the princess confronts the disheartening reality that the romantic ideals she once held are not immune to the complexities of real-life relationships.
Yet, amid the fragments of a broken fairy tale, she unearths a resilience she didn't know she possessed. The princess contemplates the idea that perhaps the true essence of a fairy tale lies not in an idealized love story but in the strength acquired through overcoming heartbreak. As she rewrites her story, she realizes that the princess within her doesn't necessarily need a prince to define her happily ever after—she can be the author of her own destiny, with or without a romantic counterpart.
But she's still a girl who is hoping that maybe, time will turn back, and she can still experience true love with him around her.
