Pledging to love differently
Part of learning to love differently (http://www.facebook.com/notes/agung-santoso-ongko/learning-to-love-differently/314165961341) is pledging to love differently:
I have not given up on finding that special someone, for I know the person shall come in good time, when the moment is ripe.
I know that by my nature, I’ll probably be given to worries about the matter from time to time, but I shall resolve not to dwell in sadness in the meantime.
For the absence of romance does not mean a lack of love; it continues to flow in all its various forms. I know this may sound delusional, for the reality of being single is often much more difficult and painful. It is a state of being infinitely hopeful, yet profoundly uncertain. Still, love has never been about the world as it is, after all; it is above reality, for it always seeks to shape the world into what it should be: a more beautiful, more complete existence.
And in that spirit, I shall no longer wait for love or anxiously look for it. I’ll always remember the people who have made my life more beautiful and more complete, whoever they are. And I shall celebrate love in all its forms now and in every single moment.
