A Broad Horizon

I know that every other senior is going to blog* about the JS Prom. It is the talk of the town lately. “How was the food? The ambience? The Prophecy? Legacy?” or “the overall package?!” These are some of the questions that teachers and parents asked us. But, on the intimate side of things, everyone else is talking and asking “How’s was your last dance?” or “Who was your last dance?” or “Who were the persons you danced with?” and “How was your night with your special someone?”

These are just some of the FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions). There are many who really care about those things. There are many who fell in love that night. Indeed there are many miracles that happened that night. But, I never experienced such kind of sensation. Anyway, I never wished I did. The bad thing here is that I could never relate to what my friends share to me. I wish I could help them somehow. In the first place, I never knew what feeling is.

I really had a vague idea of what love really is, although I have my own ideas of what it is for me. Love is in a relationship where both parties give and take. It is unselfish. To sum it all up, it is doing something good to someone. But, I still never knew the feeling.

For me, you love someone when you want to change him or her for the good and at the same time; you are also willing to change for the better for the one you love. That is my cause of loving. You may think my questions and ideas are too shallow. Maybe you will think that I never tried loving someone. Loving is caring. Convince me that I’m wrong, if I really am.

There are many persons and instances that God gave me to show what love is, to let me know what it is and share this precious loved to others.

My purpose in life is to do well to everyone and do everything in moderation. In Buddhism, do the middle way. I tried to control myself from all the temptations in this world as possible and prevent sin. I always try to live as well as I can be. With the help of my God, I know I can survive in this world. Praying is our communication. He is my strength.

God called me to confirm my Christian life. And at this point, he let me listen to his word. Love is never about the feeling. The feeling may sometimes come to a decline but that doesn’t mean that your love has faded away. If this happens, the best thing that we could do is to pray that we may continue to care for the one wee love. Of course, ups and downs would never be lost in loving.

Love and everything is going to be all right.
