I cannot deny that all my life I've been very much influenced by mass media and entertainment, as much as I've been molded by my education, my experiences, the environment I grew up in, and by the way my parents brought me up. I can say, though, that my thoughts and wants are truly my very own, and they continue to be more than ever as I learn about myself more and more. Outside factors like mass media and entertainment just help me discover the true me, and let me see how I think and react about things.
I haven't been there yet, so I don't know how valid my opinion on this matter is, but I think people change after marriage because of growing responsibilities, and because, simply and inevitably, life just happens. It doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad thing though. While your relationship may no longer be like what it once was when you were just boyfriends and girlfriends, and you were excited to see each other and spend time together every chance you get, maybe it's gotten a whole lot bigger now, and not just about you and your partner anymore. In other words, it may no longer be about hearts fluttering and having butterflies in the stomach, though, it could still very much be, but now it's about your life and dreams both as individuals and as a family.
Confessing your feelings to someone is never easy, and can be pretty overwhelming. It may even lead to hurt and rejection. No matter what happens, though, it is ultimately freeing. Besides, you'll never truly know how the other person feels if you don't take the risk. And you don't really want to spend the rest of your life regretting and constantly wondering what would have been had you taken that risk.
Normally, I'm a very shy person, but the few times I got into a relationship, I kind of surprised myself how showy I was in expressing my affection in public. Of course, I don't kiss in front of people, but it seems I have no problem when it comes to holding my partner's hand and putting my hand on her shoulder, and stuff like that. I realize that's not a biggie especially in today's world, but as someone who's shy and reserved, that's quite something already.
is it right to confess your feelings to your bestfriend?
I think there's no right or wrong as far as having feelings for someone and eventually confessing those feelings to that someone. However, in this case, you'll have to deal with the possible consequences of your actions and the impact it will have on your friendship, especially if the other person doesn't reciprocate those feelings of yours.
Maybe because we are afraid of disappointing ourselves and the people around us. We expect too much from ourselves, and we put too much importance on the expectations and the opinions of others that failure is simply unacceptable.
Do you take enough breaks to calm your mind and soul?
Sometimes, I take too many of these breaks. 😹However, it cannot be emphasized enough how important it is to give ourselves a chance to breathe and escape the rigors of this world once in a while.
In a way, we are predicting it in the sense that we have all these hopes and ideas for our future. Mostly, though, we are creating it because our actions and our efforts today shape the kind of future that awaits us.
Anung meron sa probinsya bakit mas masarap manirahan?
Supposedly sa probinsya sariwa ang hangin, not too crowded, not polluted, tahimik, maganda ang tanawin, at simple lang buhay compara sa hustle and bustle of city life.
No, I still have a hard time saying no to things I don't really need. Obviously, I've yet to learn to discipline myself, and fight off the urge to go for all those unnecessary stuff. Maybe, I really need some good smacking once in a while as well. 😹
