I don't really want to force myself into believing something that has no certainty. True commitment might work to opposite-sex couples, but with the same-sex relationship, I don't quite believe that it exists.
Minsan pa, open-relationships na ang uso. Men don't like to be controlled or tamed, mag-eexplore at mag-eexplore ang mga 'yan hangga't gusto nila. Not because you're insufficient, but because they are always looking for more.
Always looking for more.
"Parang sa trabaho lang 'di ba, you have to fully commit yourself. Paano ka magiging masaya kung nililimitahan mo ang sarili mo?" Parker told me when we were inside the spacious gymnasium.
We're watching one of Diego's practice match in basketball. Nag-imbita sila ng teams mula sa ibang powerhouse schools. At heto kami ni Parker, nakaupo sa isa sa mga bleachers upang kahit paano ay suportahan ang aming kaibigan.
"You can find happiness in other things, you don't always have to commit just to feel it." tugon ko naman.
Kanina pa kami nagtatalo tungkol sa usaping ito. I didn't really want to open that topic but my mind won't just shut up about it. And I need to hear some advice or probably other opinions regarding it.
"It's not genuine happiness if you're not fully committed. You just don't know yet what true happiness feels like because you're always hesitating, you always have doubts, you're always on the safe side, you're not giving your hundred percent."
Well, I don't believe I have doubts. Alam ko lang talaga kung ano ang kahihinatnan ng mga bagay kung ipipilit ko ito. It's a repetitive cycle, it's a history, love is something I don't wanna invest in because it will just ruin a lot of things.
Stable ang trabaho ko, ang feelings ko, ang mga desisyon ko sa buhay. If I let love control all of it, that would destroy everything.
Hindi na ako nakaimik dahil sa mga salitang nagtatalo sa aking isipan. Pinanood ko ang flow of game sa court upang sakaling ma-distract ako pero hindi ako tinigilan ni Parker sa mga sarili niyang opinyon.
May punto naman ang mga sinasabi niya. I just can't understand why I couldn't accept it or even let the idea sink in.
"Anong mapapala mo sa pakikipag-fling, sige sagutin mo nga?" panghahamon pa niya.
Kung makapagsalita ang isang 'to, akala mo hindi rin siya nakikipag-fling.
"Freedom. Independence. And hot sex." walang pagdadalawang-isip kong sagot. Natawa siya sa aking sinabi, hindi ko nga lang alam kung sarkastiko ba iyon o hindi.
"You don't know how hotter sex could be if there's commitment.." napalingon ako sa kanya nang banggitin niya iyon.
Alam kong hinihikayat lang niya ako pero hindi ko rin naman mapigilang isiping mabuti iyon. May mas lalamang pa ba sa hot sex?
"Haven't you heard about intimate sex? Romantic sex? Sex that happens because of love?" dugtong niya pa.
Ayaw kong magkomento tungkol sa mga usaping iyon dahil...
"Bakit, na-try mo na?" pagbato ko sa kanya ng tanong.
"Hindi pa, pero narinig ko na sa mga kaibigan kong masaya ang buhay pag-ibig. Iba raw ang sex kapag mahal niyo ang isa't isa, kaya nga tinatawag 'yun na making love minsan." nagtaas-baba pa ang kanyang mga kilay para mas kumbinsihin ako.
Intimate sex... hmmm, that's interesting. But I don't think I would experience it.
"Puro ka kasi subo kaya hindi mo alam, e." sinapak ko na siya this time. Tumingin pa ako sa paligid kung sakaling may ibang nakarinig nun. Baka akalain nila ang pokpok ko.
