Dan Henry Montaño was the type of person who plays practical jokes on people. He would tease his classmate for him to achieve laughter. But that Dan Henry was long gone. A new one was shaped.
During the enrollment for school year 2006-2007 of UP High School in Cebu, the students in fourth year section Gonzalez already started to choose where they want to sit. Naturally, close friends wanted to sit beside each other. But one chose a seat just to irritate someone. Together with a friend, the “irritant” planned to annoy that someone. The prank was started.
The irritant started to tease that someone everyday. But both got closer to each other. Both got to know each other. The irritant still continued to tease but significantly lesser than the start of the school year. Eventually, something magical happened.
Love is said to be indefinable. It is said to be something that only the people who are in love that truly know what love feels like. It is said that it is an ethereal bond that joins a man and a woman. Love may be all those but it is something that everyone has his or her own definition.
Love for me is something that encourages a person to improve himself or herself. Though it contradicts what Shakespeare says in one of his sonnets that states “Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds”, some people would still agree with me. As what you might have discovered, I was the irritant. I want to change because I fell in love with the girl of my life (do not react!).Yes, it is true. And I am not ashamed to let the world know. I am sure that there are plenty of others out there who are like that.
But when one wants the other to change, that is not love. It is because when one falls in love, that someone already has accepted you for who you are, the whole you. And demanding for a change is just an action of that person to mould his/her “loved” one into his/her dream somebody. But if a person wants you to change in order to make you into a better person, then that is just fine. (As want I have already stated in my other posts, this is just my opinion. You don’t necessarily have to agree with it.)
The website http://www.dictionary.com defines will as power of choosing one's own actions. It also defines heart as the center of emotion. For my opinion, love is an act of both the will and the heart. Falling for someone needs a decision whether to let it continue or let it cease. In falling in love, one has to choose one of those things. One has to weigh things and not just let emotions take over. Because when emotions are made to choose, one may end up in a bad situation (e.g. stop schooling). When both will and heart are used by both sides, the resultant relationship that they would have would be true and sincere. And the love that they share is intimate.
