Stupid Love

“Never allow someone to be your priority,

while allowing yourself to be their option.”

     I heard this line from Mel Tiangco and Joey de Leon as their parting words for their show's episode last night. No, I'm not really a huge fan of their show, it just so happened na yun ang duty ko kagabi so I had no choice but to ingest to the server the shows for airing and in effect “watch” them as well (quality check in other words...). Anyways, the said one-liner stuck in my mind the moment I heard it because I can somehow relate to its message. For me, basically, this line is just a glorified version of the phrase “huwag maging tanga.”

      Why make someone the center of your world when he/she doesn't even know how to appreciate you? Kung naaalala ka lang naman niya pag may kailangan lang siya sa iyo pero pagkatapos nun e wala na, parang non-existent ka na uli? Save a little respect for yourself. Maraming tao pa naman dyan who can really appreciate you for who you are and everything that you do. Don't waste time and effort for someone who only uses you for their convenience. I know some people would say na ok lang yun kasi mahal naman nila yung tao. Mga mas pinipiling maging martyr. Personally, I don't have anything against those people na magsasabi nun but for me, that's crap. I almost fell for that kind of reasoning not so long ago but lucky for me, I woke up just in time.
