Significant Other.

Soul mate? Maybe. I believe that the one who really is for you is someone who complements you. More than just being able to cheer you up, make you happy, or even accept you for who you are, your significant other should bring out the best in you. He should be able to make yourself want to be better and actually be better.

He won't give us something we can't handle.

In last night's episode of Mara Clara, there was a part where Mara's mom, Susan, was praying for her daughter's recovery. I began to think: She had been through a lot of hardships since the beginning of the show. It was really hard to see her undergo yet another painful moment and shed more tears. And then it struck me. Susan's character is that of a strong woman. Even if she was physically and emotionally put to test a lot of times, she had remained steadfast. The eventual passing of Mara would indeed crush her heart but we all know she will be able to survive it.

In the same way, I believe God does not give us tasks or hardships to go through if He knows we cannot do it. Even if at times, the situation or problem we are facing seems to loom big over us, we must instill in our minds that He will guide us through everything just as long as we keep the faith. We must not give up because He Himself believes we can do it. We must remember this always and never lose hope even when nothing seems to be going right.

By the way, for those who are wondering, I am Roman Catholic. :)

Compatibility's how you make it.

So you're an Aquarius and I'm a Cancer. The stars say we're not compatible. Even worse, those heavenly bodies say we're the worst signs to be paired in the whole Zodiac. You're adventurous and an out-there kind of person while I'm clingy and emotional. You need space, I need security. It's said that we're total opposites when it comes to what we need from relationships. But hey, enough with the negative. I've read a lot of those, believe me. Yet none of those will dishearten me because I know you are someone I want to be keeping in my life.

Both of us have already noticed our differences, and it does get me thinking, too. In the end, I'm always reminded of the times when we talk and we understand each other so well. And I really appreciate it that I can talk to you. I still remember before when you told me that there are things it seems only us can comprehend.

 I have told you that I feel like I'm not being a girlfriend to you. I think I can explain that thought now. It's like this: I'm emotional and clingy, and you don't like emotional and clingy. I think it's because I'm naturally like that, and for me to not be like that, it feels, well, unnatural. Still complicated? Yeah I thought so too.

You know, our relationship has taught me things. And it isn't easy. I was used to certain things and when I was exposed to the "not-clingy" ways, it felt different.

"Cancer's constant need for love, attention and security may be too much for the Aquarian to live with, while the Aquarian's excessive need for freedom may appear to Cancer as a sign of detachment."

I did go through some emotional turmoils (? - pretty heavy term, I think) and a hell lot of confusion. Still, I tried to understand everything. I reasoned out to myself, even sometimes I simply wouldn't think about it. Also, I'm not so much with the "constant need .." blahs anymore. As much as possible, I try not to, as to not smother you.

So yes, when everything was telling me it's a no-no, I decided to ignore them and let us decide for ourselves.

I know we'll have our share of misunderstandings but I believe we can get through all of them together, just like we did with the ones that already came.

I have faith in us and I'm willing to stand by you no matter what. I cannot promise that I will be perfect as there will be times that my patience will not be as long as I want it to be. But for whatever, I will try my very best to be understanding and be there for you.
