Love and reality

I've never been this affected to any celebrity love teams. I used to be a Kimerald but when they split up,  I didn't even care. Last Sunday, I watched Sarah G Live. It was half of the show already when I tuned in until Aiai interviewed Sarah's parents. I was on the edge of my seat and then everything turned out sooo heartbreaking.

The gist was, Gerald stopped courting Sarah and Sarah denied that it was her mommy behind it. But what she was saying was contrary to what she was showing. You can feel her pain! And I burst into tears when her mom gave her advice and she said she wasn't in a hurry, muntik lang!

Poor Sarah! 24 and still treated like a little girl! She has served her family well and been an obedient child all her life but they can't let her experience something normal her age should be enjoying. When his father was asked on what qualities are they looking for Sarah's boyfriend he said someone who will never leave her and will never make her cry. I almost flip the table! C'mon! It's just a boyfriend! As if their daughter will be married soon! Then, I was dumbfounded.

I used to think this way. That the first boyfriend should be the one and only. But reality bites. And not everything happens in the fairy tales should come true to everybody. That heartbreaks and pain are necessity for growth. That you will learn from relationship failures. These realizations fired up in my mind in just split seconds.

In a snap of fingers, I came to my senses and understood Gerald's point of view. If he really stopped because of Sarah's parents' rules in courtship, no one should blame him. He might have realized the pressure and the consequences if they become a couple. They are still young. And Gerald has a lot of things to explore and enjoy about her age being a man.

At the end of the day, I was still able to smile. I am still luckier than Sarah. I was able to experience being in a relationship though it didn't last the way I expected it to be. I learned a lot and I think I can maturely handle the next relationship better. But still, like Sarah, I will just standby and pray for that man to come and I could finally say he is worth the wait!
