along the way, i realized na mahal talaga ang magmahal, especially in this economy. kasi hindi naman libre ang bumuo ng buhay kasama ang taong mahal mo. there are bills to pay, dreams to chase, responsibilities to carry, and days when love alone can’t put food on the table. pero i still believe na hindi mo kailangang maging mayaman para magmahal. you can have almost nothing and still give someone your whole heart. you can love through the little things, through sacrifices, through choosing each other even when life isn’t easy. but maybe that’s the painful truth, love can be enough to make you stay, but sometimes, it isn’t enough to make a life work. hindi sapat na mahal mo lang siya kung pareho kayong walang stability, walang direction, at walang paraan para sabay kayong umangat. and maybe that’s what makes loving someone in this economy so complicated. you’re not just asking, “mahal ko ba siya?” you start asking, “kaya ba naming dalawa na mahalin ang isa’t isa habang sabay naming hinaharap ang buhay?” because love doesn’t have to be expensive to be real, but building a life around that love sometimes is.
