Let's talk about love.

It's exactly 8:43 PM and our family is watching this Filipino version of Koreanovela "Only You".
What caught my attention about this show was, when the leading lady Angel Locsin had an argument with TJ which role was played by Sam Milby. The argument was all about love, if what love means for them.

Angel said..
"Kung mahal mo ang isang tao, handa kang masaktan makita lang siyang masaya.."
Is it really love? Is this love what is all about?


For me, it's more of a sacrifice. Even though that we can say that sacrifice is a form of love.
But for me, love is not all about sacrifice and martirdom.
When you love, there is hapiness that can go beyond all the pain. You are free.
You don't have to bother yourself about anything and about someone's renunciation even if it's about someone you love.

Love is not like that. It is not allowing yourself to be hurt. It's not about being selfless.
Yes, pain is inevitable when it all comes to loving someone. But love is not all about pain.
And it is more important to love yourself more.
