Sino ba ang ayaw ng buhay na masaya? Lahat naman tayo yan ang pinapangarap araw-araw. Masarap talaga pag ang tanging alam lang ng puso mo ay ang maging masaya kahit napapalibutan kana ng lungkot.

Yun nga lang kakambal na ng saya ang lungkot. Sa buhay kahit alam nating mali pero pinipilit natin itong itama dahil alam nating ito ay nagpapasaya sa atin. Pinipilit nating pinaglalaban ang isang kaligayahan na sugal na kahit ang kinabukasan. Paano ka nga ba maging masaya kung tinatalo kana ng pag-aalala? Paano nga ba maging masaya na hindi ka nakakasakit ng iba? Paano nga ba maging masaya kung pilit kang kinakatok kaba.

Masaya naman ako sa buhay ko at kahit papano napapasaya ko naman ito. Sa buong buhay ko bihira lang na nasasabi ko sa sarili kong tama ang mga desisyon ko. Mahirap sabihing tama, mahirap ding sabihing mali. Sabi nila mahalin mo muna sarili mo bago ang iba. Hindi naman siguro ako naging maramot nung nagkamulat ako sa kung anung ibig sabihin sa mga linyang yan. Hindi ko naman hiningi na magustuhan at mahalin ako ng mga taong nakakasama at nakakausap ko sa araw-araw.

Sa buhay ko ngayon bihira na lang yung nakakatawa ako na may luha sa mata. Ang hirap lagyan ng ngiti ang isang labi kung hindi naman nararamdaman ng puso ang saya. Nararamdaman na ng puso ko ang lungkot at ang mas nakakalungkot nito, nasasanay na ako. Paano nga ba magkaroon ng buhay na masaya?

From the book: Reading Expert 4

“Have you ever met someone who made you happy and nervous at the same time? When this person walked in the room, did you blush? Did your hands sweat? If so, you may have said that you were falling in love. Falling in love involves many different feelings. These feelings occur as a result of chemical changes in the body. That’s why we often refer to love as ‘chemistry’.

Falling in love and being in love are two different feelings. When you are in the initial stages of falling in love, your brain creates chemicals that make you feel happy. These chemicals are called ‘stimulants’ and cause changes in your behaviour. You think about this person constantly and have trouble sleeping. You may sometimes even forget to eat! A little while after falling in love, the body gets used to the chemical stimulants. At this point, one of the two things can happen. The relationship may become boring and end, or the brain might create different kinds of of chemicals. These chemicals make you feel very calm and peaceful. They are the chemicals that lead people to want long-term relationships.

Although mankind has regarded the heart as the center of love throughout history, scientists now tell us that love starts with chemicals in the brain. But even though chemicals play an important role starting and sustaining love, love is more than simple chemistry; for a successful long-term relationship, you need to try to have a nice manner, good communication skills and an open mind.”

But anyhow, attitude is what matters in sustaining a healthy relationship. For what is altitude if you don’t have the attitude according to engineers. Building and creating a strong relationship needs understanding and trust.
