WHAT IS LOVE

-
Love is one of the most mysterious forces in life. It can lift us to the highest joy or bring us to the deepest sorrow. For some, it feels like magic; for others, it is a lesson written in pain. In my own journey, love has been both a gift and a challenge, a story of inspiration, discovery, and the courage to feel even when the outcome is uncertain.



What is Love really?

For me, there is only one kind of love, yet a thousand different versions.
It is a gift from God, without price tag or measure.
A gift we all can possess,
A key that unlocks both happiness and sorrow.

Do you believe that when you fall in love,
A different kind of magic begins to happen?

Oooops… not always.
Love is not forever a bed of roses.
Sometimes, love brings hurt,
And it becomes the reason we fall down.

I never believed in the magic of love.
But when ——– entered my life,
I felt something incredible.
This feeling was strong enough to make me love him.


A Friend Who Changed Everything


I told myself, I am afraid to love someone I cannot own forever.
Yet I never truly knew what love was
Until he came as my friend.

I cared deeply, whether our bond was right or wrong.
All I knew was that I loved him.
I was fascinated by the very idea of love

Living in a world of idealism and fantasy.

Sleepless nights were spent dreaming of him.
My feelings grew stronger every day.
He became my inspiration
Encouraging me to write,
To play music,
To create stories, poems, and essays…
Most of them dedicated to him.

Through him, I learned more about life.
He made me realize the true journey of living.


Life’s Mystery

Life is full of mystery.
And now, my inspiration will always have a space in my heart.

A special space that time cannot erase.
Days, months, years may pass—
But my love for him will never end.

No matter what happens,
He will remain in my heart.
No one can take him away.

My inspiration…
My love.


The poem

Love’s Mystery: A Friend Who Became My Muse


I never believed in love’s sweet disguise,
A fleeting enchantment, a trick of the eyes.
But then you appeared, so gentle, so true,
And life wrote its verses with guidance from you.


You entered my world like a song in the air,
A spark in the silence, a light beyond care.
No roses forever, no promise of gain,
Yet joy intertwined with the lessons of pain.


You taught me to dream, to write and to play,
To capture the night and give voice to the day.
My pen found its rhythm, my heart found its voice,
In loving you quietly, I made my own choice.


Though time may divide us, though distance may grow,
The muse that you gave me will always still flow.
For love is a mystery, both tender and cruel,
Yet you are the fire that taught me its rule.


So here in my heart, you’ll eternally stay,
A friend and a muse who lit up my way.
No matter the years, no matter the cost,
The love that you sparked will never be lost.


Closing Thoughts

Love is not always perfect, nor is it always easy. It can wound us, but it can also awaken us to new parts of ourselves. My journey taught me that love is not only about possession it is about inspiration, growth, and the courage to feel deeply. Even if love does not last in the way we imagine, its impact remains. It shapes us, guides us, and leaves us with a story worth telling.

Beyond Tears and Distance A story of sacrifice, resilience, and faith Writing your own story is never easy. Where do you begin, when the past is filled with both joy and pain? Sometimes, you have to open old wounds—not to dwell in them, but to show how far you’ve come. This is Grace’s journey. A Simple Life, Until Everything Changed Grace never dreamed of working overseas. She was happy with her life: her parents, her siblings, her loving husband, and their three children. Her husband, once an army officer, gave up his career to stay close to them. Their life was simple, but it was enough. Until the day her small business collapsed—the family’s only source of income. Suddenly, Grace faced a heartbreaking choice. “I wasn’t sure what I was trying to fulfill, but I knew I had to secure my children’s future.” Despite her husband’s resistance, Grace decided to work abroad. Losing Her Mother While waiting for her visa in Manila, her mother asked her to come home for just one week. Grace went...

How Philippine Politics, Love Life, and a Possessed Pillow Ruined My Morning Shift

The Pillow Conspiracy: Why You Should Never Host Marites Hour Before a Morning Shift Let me paint you a picture. It’s 9:20 PM on a quiet evening. I’m curled up in my third-floor apartment, ready to wind down when suddenly—ringing doorbells, continuously and urgently… Yvette opened the door. It was Aimee, and just after she closed it, someone knocked again, impatiently. I opened the door. It was Rizel. My two friends and workmates from the first floor arrived like undercover agents and hungry dragons. They were on the evening shift. We weren’t just catching up; we were entering full-blown Marites Mode. By 9:25 PM, we were deep into a passionate discussion about corruption in the Philippines. From pork barrel scandals to ghost projects, we dissected every shady deal with the fervor of political analysts with zero credentials but maximum emotion. The rage was real. Then, like any good Filipino conversation, the topic naturally shifted to love life. The snacks inclu...

From Hong Kong to Finland: A Friendship That Travels With Me

" We met as strangers chasing dreams, became sisters through shared Sundays and street food, and stayed friends across oceans, because true friendship doesn’t fade, it simply finds new ways to stay." Celebrating 12 years of friendship with Annie How It All Began I still remember the day I met Annie. We were both at the agency, we are together in our training, going for medical tests, and we live together in the boarding house provided by the agency. We stay there while preparing to leave the Philippines for work in Hong Kong. We were just two hopeful women chasing opportunity—but something clicked. Strangers at first both excitement in our eyes, or the way we both tried to hide our fears with laughter. From that moment on, we became close. Whatever it was, that moment sparked a friendship that would last more than a decade.      training center in the Philippines  Day-Off Rituals and City Adventures Once we arrived in Hong Kong, life got ...
