A few months before 2020, I bet everyone of us has already laid out plans for the coming year. Given quite a number of long weekends, w e already have a good idea for our vacation plans, how will we utilize our work leaves and where will we go during our holidays. Then enter 2020. January proved to be not a good start of the year. There were volcanoes erupting, celebrities dying and yes of course Covid-19 pandemic . Covid-19 pandemic which is caused by the Coronavirus resulted for most of us to be locked down in the comforts of our own homes. Employees were advised to work from home and stay away from the public to contain the spread of the virus. Unfortunately for some, their livelihood was taken away because working from home is not feasible and their company has no means to sustain the workforce. Experts say that the world will be going to a period of depression and many more jobs will be inevitably ...
How far would you go for love?
When you’re in love, there are no boundaries, no reservations, and it is unconditional that you’ll do anything for the sake of it. But this is not always the case.
These are few questions that you can ponder to know
how far you are willing to go for the person you love:
- Are you willing to convert your religion for your partner?
- Can you give up your career?
- Are you okay with long distance relationship?
- Can you forgive infidelity?
- Are you willing to marry your partner?
It is easy
to say that you can do all of these. But actions speak louder than words. And the
reality is, we are not perfect, we must accept the truth that sometimes it is
impossible to do it all the way. Frankly, not all of us can do all the
sacrifices for our love. But there are people who are fighting and willing to
sacrifice everything for their partner. I envy them. Though all our opinions
are different, they still have to be valued.
Some can’t
sacrifice their religion while others are willing to convert. Imagine how
difficult the situation to those people. You would say, why would they not
guard their hearts to fall in love from the beginning if they already knew what
will be the outcome. But can anyone really dictate our hearts who it chooses?
Maybe cupid got it wrong, anyway. I envy those people who are willing to
convert their religion to be married to their partner. I could not imagine how
difficult their position is, that they can be disowned by their parents,
families and friends because of the path they will choose for a lifetime. I
respect them for fighting for their love and I could say it’s never a mistake
but truly a destiny.
Have you
been in a situation where you need to follow your partner to live with him in a
place outside your comfort zone? You know that one way or another that someone
needs to give in for the relationship to work out. Personally, changes don’t
bother me, and I am willing to accept it. Though this decision will impact
everything especially if you’ve come a long way with your career, already established
friendships and you’ve got your family here but come to think of it, you can
find a new career in that place, but one thing for sure is that you’ll have
your own family with your partner and you can broaden your friends in the new
place you will move in.
Can you give
up your career for love? It’s a very big decision to make especially to all career-oriented
people. In this regard, we’re already talking about the future for the both of
you. Even me, I can never think of giving up my career but if it’s necessary, I
will do it as long as my partner can able to sustain our needs. Love is an
amazing feeling but it’s not always the practical way. Both parties should
understand it and both opinions should matter.
What if one
day, you need to be separated a thousand miles away with your partner because of
whatever reason, will you still continue the relationship with him? Not
everyone is okay with a long distance relationship. Everyone has its own
opinion about it. Honestly, I’m okay with it. I’ve been in a long distance
relationship, and I survived it, “we” both survive it. I can say that it’s true
about the saying “No pain, no gain”. I’ve been sad with that set up for a long time,
but I knew it was only temporary. Let’s just say it was a challenge and if both
of you pass, then time will come that you can never be separated again and will
be bonded stronger. And if time comes again that one needs to be far away, it
will not be problem anymore because both you had learned the lessons and
nothing or I could say no one could break your love with each other.
What if it’s
about infidelity, could you still forgive and go for love? Infidelity happens
everywhere. I’m not saying I’m accepting it, it’s just that what can you do if it
already happened. I’m not condemning people that stay in this situation. I
respect and understand them because I know they have their own reasons. All I’m
saying is that for me, I can’t put back shattered pieces of myself over and
over again every time I’ll be broken. So, for me whether to stay or not depends
with the situation. I can forgive you a single time, but if it’s more than
that, that for me is the time to let go because what’s the point of staying and
fighting for love if it’s not worthy. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice
shame on me, right?
Can you
marry your partner? Not all are okay to give up their bachelor life too soon or
some don’t even want to give it up ever. It’s really a difficult decision in
your life. I always recall what my mother always told me when I was young,
“Marriage is not like hot rice that you spit out once you get burned”. It’s a
lifetime commitment that needs caring, love, understanding, respect and faith.
It could be easy or messed up. Nobody knows what will happen. Coming from a
married woman, getting married is easy, staying happily married is the
difficult part. I am blessed that I have a great husband that makes it easy
staying happily married day in and day out.
What about you, how far would you go for love?
