LOVE, AKI.

LOVE. It's one of the most beautiful experiences we can ever have, yet it's also one of the most profound sources of pain. Love has a way of changing us, shaping us, sometimes even scarring us deeply. Despite the risks and the hurt, there's something incredibly powerful and transformative about it.

I still remember, even from a young age, how my mom would take the time to remind me about love's true meaning. She'd say, Kung magmahal ka man, siguraduhin mong sa taong mahal ka dahil tanggap ka niya kung sino ka talaga, hindi dahil obligado siya na mahalin ka. She wanted me to understand that real love isn't based on duty or obligation but on genuine acceptance. She'd tell me that someone who loves you only because they feel they have to will never be able to truly see or appreciate your true self. Her advice shaped my view of love as I grew older. It taught me that love should feel freeing, not forced, and that it's worth waiting for the person who sees you, understands you, and loves you for exactly who you are.

Yet, all the convictions I held about love began to dissipate, much like bubbles that float away and burst in the air. Everything I thought I understood about love vanished the moment I met him. He was that irritating individual who not only challenged my beliefs but also left me feeling unsettled. His presence became a catalyst for the unraveling of my ideals, leading to a profound disarray in my life. The illusions I once cherished crumbled, leaving me with a sense of loss and confusion as he shattered my understanding of what love truly meant. In doing so, he disrupted my sense of peace and tranquility, leaving behind only echoes of what I once believed.

At ang malala? Dahil sa kanya, I settle for something less.

Yes, si Akisha Shanani Dela Cruz Peralta, a girl with captivating dark brown eyes, porcelain skin, bouncy blonde curls, and a touch of rosy cheeks. found herself settling for the bare minimum while getting swept up in the allure of a red flag.

And Akisha is me.

Oh wait wait wait!

I'm not that really pretty though, pero ginandahan ko lang yung description ko sa sarili ko kasi alangan namang kawawain ko si sarili, diba?

Minsan lang tayo makapag-intro kaya tudo na yan!
