WIND BETWEEN THE PILLAR

According to Pope Francis' in his latest visit in the Philippines

“Don't ever lose the memory of when you were boyfriend or girlfriend. That is very important”

Like any other bible quote, it’s vague but sounds inspiring

Until reality slaps you with a situation where you can totally relate

An old saying proclaims that a married couple should be like 2 pillars

Close enough to let the wind pass through them

Which simply means that each spouse should always have that space between them

Such amount of space to still let each other grow as an individual

Going back to Pope Francis’ quote all I can say is that it’s easier said than done

Romance is slowly killed by the realities of things that should not even bother you

Things and people enter your life not because you want them but because they are part of a                                  package

A package that you don’t have a choice but embrace

Rekindling the looks you shared as unmarried couple will be a challenge

Especially when the look your partner gives you is scrutinized by people who shouldn’t be in                               the equation.

Those equation unfortunately matters

Hence, you have no choice but to respect it

However respect begets respect and works 2 ways

If that equation doesn’t work like most math problems

The only solution is gloriously flunk it

Simply put, ignorantly put a smile on your face and pretend everything is okay

When everything seems impossible who else could you turn to?

It might sound cheesy but a good old quick prayer will cool you down

The calmness in prayer reigns in your emotion and anger

Let’s you think that the best solution is still kindness

To all married couples who are working hard to let the other equation work

Patience, diplomacy, prayers and an instant amnesia will just do the trick

Quickly forget what has been said and focus instead on the immediate family

                   you’ve got

After all words can only hurt you if you let them
