One night when i asked my partner to write for my blog, i was so thrilled on what would it be about. So, here is it…
What is the very best thing that can ever happen to a relationship?
Live happily ever after?
Tour around the world together?
Have many dozens of kids and make it to Guinness?
Can be, but I’m still not convinced.
I have always been on the quest for getting the best relationship, simply because of the idea that we live only once, and so why not go and aim for it.
But as I take a look into this then will come this chain of thoughts that will lead to topics like compatibility, preferences, personalities, and thousands more. And as it always happen, too much thinking gets people stuck; analysis paralysis.
So what really is the best thing that can ever happen?
The answer dawned to me when she started making this blog. I have been sharing it to people and friends, most especially to teens who happen to be in my community or those in business. Not until one day, I got a text out of nowhere:
“Kuya Hanz, you know I admire the relationship you have. I admire the strength of your relationship.”
And then I remembered even one who said:
“10 years??? How did you do that??? I don’t believe in that anymore! Kuya, teach us!!!”
This praise has been so common to me. Yes, I feel very proud of it, especially when I get to tell them all about our love story, but the truth then came to slowly:
The best thing that can ever happen to a relationship is when your bond can inspire people.
Inspire people in ways that they too would seek to develop their relationship.
It starts a change. It starts people to consider and take a look into relationships not as something cultural or just another stage or trend, but take it as what it really is – the essence of being human – to love.
Our relationship, may not be perfect, we too had lots of ups and downs and yes break ups, but its not those things, but it’s greater in its whole aspect – the total experience. And sharing to the world that experience is such a privilege.
Honestly, When she asked me to write my part. As much as I want to let it all out, I just can’t – its too grand! I literally didn’t know where to start.
Well, I guess it’s best to start by telling everyone how proud I am of what Gail has started. This blog has kept our love even more on fire.
I hope that as this blog kept us on fire, may you catch it and let love spark in your life.
I can’t wait to write more about my part!
As you wish,
Boyfriend
