Hi, hive communities. How are you doing today? I hope and pray you guys are in good health. I am quite disappointed with the result of the presidential election in the Philippines today.
I check the hive learners' discord new contents were rolling out. I was excited to participate. Thanks to the hive learners community and other communities who supported my last post. It means a lot to me that someone is reading, commenting, giving feedbacks on my posts. I appreciated it.

For me, love is the language by showing interest in another person. Love is an exceptional and an unconditional thing we can share with others. Sometimes, we ought to judge the young love. Are these people really in love or just want to have a companion? Maybe because of peer pressure from friends. Puppy love is different from a mature relationship..
Love moves in a mysterious way. Love got built in different ways and locations. I was so inspired to hear the first love stories of my grandparents, fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, and close friends. When they share their stories their faces shine and tells me how excited they are. How romantic it was. There is magic in love. Our character as a person is changing and willing to extend or accept changes to fill in the cap between two lovers.
I was excited to meet my first love. I was dreaming about what my first love looked like? Is it a fairytale? Or one of my childhood friends? Or schoolmates?
I did not expect my first love will be an online and long-distance relationship at the age of 23. I have a puppy love that inspires me to go on with life without that person knowing it, but I did not consider that was my first love. I always look for a deeper love that I will be committed to. It was on my mind the guy I will say yes to will be the last person I will be with.
Love moves in mystery and got a surprise. It never crossed my mind to find love online. I met an Indian friend on Chatango.com chatbox. She was addicted to Korean Dramas and so am I. She introduced me to her brother Ram. He was younger than me. Her brother asked me to play a game called Clash of Kings. He asked me to move my castle with the same kingdom server. I treated him like a little brother. Ram and I were active in the Kingdom chatbox.
Someone noticed me there and DM me. I do remember how it started. That guy sent me a resume. I asked are you applying for a job? He said no. I want to know you. He kept talking to me and helping me with defense and attack troops strategies, types of equipment, provide resources to my castle. I treated him as a friend.
Later on, we keep talking day and night not missing a day without a conversation. He was a nice, smart and responsible man. He has no addiction to cigarettes and drinking alcohol. It was on my list of what I want for a partner in life. The biggest difficulty of a relationship with a person is not having the same faith, practices, traditions, and culture.
At first, I was hesitant. I love this person, but these are things that need to be considered. I talked to him about my worries and concerns about starting a relationship with him. I told him about my parent's expectations of me to marry a Christian man or have the same faith. He responded to me, I am not against your religion and I respected it.
On his birthday on August 14, 2014, He said I love you and I didn't know I said I love you too, I can no longer take back what I already said. What I love about our relationship, it did not start on the physical appearance, but it was the agreement of being committed for a long time. I asked him why you don't look for physical appearance? He answered beauty will fade, but the good soul will remain forever. He told me you are beautiful and your soul too.
Our relationship was not perfect. We did fight with a lot of issues about addiction with games. He is working in the hospital no time for me. I always have time for him. I have more time to attack him.. ahahaha! When I have a lot to say he always left me and come back with a solution. He will listen to me. I don't know how many breaks up I did say to him. Thank God, our relationship is still alive and kicking for 7 years and 4 months because of this man. I got pressured by a lot of friends telling me not to pursue this kind of relationship. I haven't met him face to face for seven years. I was bothered about it, but my boyfriend told me they can say whatever they want. I was only asking for your trust. I choose to trust him.

My boyfriend always reminds me. How he loves me and cares for me. He never let me feel I was a mistake. He told me, how toxic you become I will always find a remedy. He told me that my pride starts with you and will end with you. He is sweet and loving person.
I never believed in a long-distance relationship would work without dedication, trust, honesty, loyalty, contentment, and willingness to be together when you have ups and downs in the relationship.
Most of couples don't know the difference between falling in love and staying in love. Falling in love is a great feeling for a starter lover where you are in happy-go-lucky feelings of infatuated excitement. Being in love with that partner you will commit to a healthy long-term relationship whatever hindrances and challenges life will bring to you.
PS: Chose a healthy relationship and be happy together. Communication is a key.
Love you always.
See you in my next post.
