#A3Prompt29: "How do you feel about love before us? How do you feel about love these days?"

"Love is a myth. Parang di naman totoo. Kumbaga, bihira lang ang mga taong nakakatagpo ng tunay na pagmamahal. Parang suntok sa buwan kung makakahanap ka ng pag-ibig sa mga panahong 'to. Kung meron man, marahil panandalian lang. Hindi rin magtatagal. Nawawala. Kumukupas. Nagbabago. Sa paglipas ng panahon."

"Find LOVE. Kung maghihintay ka lang, marahil hindi mo makikita. Walang destiny. Walang forever. Nasa fairytale books lang ang happy ever after. Walang fairy god mother na magbibigay sayo ng angking ganda para pumunta sa ballroom party ni Prince Charming."

"LOVE is a destructive feeling. Yun lang. Wala nang iba. Sakit sa ulo lang ang mapapala mo kapag nagmahal ka. Eventually, iiyak ka din naman sa bandang huli. Tapos magmamahal ka ulit. Masasaktan. Ayun, paikot ikot lang. Nakakapagod."

These are the things they believed about LOVE. Before Maine and Alden met. But everything else changed after that.

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." (1 Cor. 13:4-7)

So, therefore...DON'T FIND LOVE. LET LOVE FIND YOU. Sa Tamang Panahon.
