I was browsing through the files on my computer and I stumbled upon a notepad file. Might as well post it since it’s been more than 2 years ago since I wrote this.
“Is this the end? Is this it? All the months of waiting, we’ve already gone this far. Hanggang dito nalang ba? You told me the past would never come back again. Without any concrete reason why or any right explanation to back up her actions, as a guy, I am confused. I guess this is where men and women differ. Men want something concrete, something real and is definable and applies to all rules this universe has, that everything happens for a reason that nothing happens all too spontaneously and without a reason, a motive, a goal, on the other hand, women react differently, for them, not all things can be defined, some things just happen to unfold, what men say, “ang labo”, for women, “ganun eh”.
As a guy, you may seem to notice that up to now, I am still figuring out why, and still, being true to my upbringing and nature, trying to define things, why such things happen. This brings me to my personal conclusion why men and women still go through decades together being in a relationship in particular and for so long as well. It may be cliché but it is still true up to now. Corny and cheesy as it may sound, men and women go through together because of love. It may be true that physical attraction, infatuation, may be even lust and sexual desire all of selfish reasons, may bring to beings together, those things and drives run out mostly after the first few months of being together. Once we got what we want, we’ve indulged already for what hard work and effort you do to get that significant other, be it flirting of courting, the easy of the hard way, one day or another, you’d lose interest. That’s just human nature. The nature of man, the instinct to strive for more, to out grow what they already have and want for something more, the need to “upgrade”. Before, you may be too attached to that person because you really feel do “love” the person, the butterflies, the beating faster and slower at the same time when you’re with that person, all the effort that you put for that significant other to notice, it may all be gone.”
