How to have a Crush without being Crushed


In an article entitled, “How to have a Crush without being Crushed,” Light Touch Magazine writer, Daffodil Dedel tells how to handle feelings. Here are excerpts from her advice:

1.     Remember that crush is not love, but infatuation. It really helps to keep in mind that this type of attraction, no matter how strong it seems, is really temporary. Like baby teeth, it will soon fall out, and the permanent one will grow in its place—the real love of your life.

2.    Make the most of the best and the least of the worst. Le your feelings buoy you up but don’t let them drag you down. Let your crush inspire you to be the best person that you can be—the person God intended you to be. But don’t lower your moral standards or pretend to be someone you are not just to get his or her attention. You would only be cheating yourself.

3.   Share your feelings with someone you can trust. There’s nothing like a good laugh among friends to reduce the tight situation into a light one that it really is. For example, what a comfort to find out that you are not the only one fated to adore a snob! You can count on your true friends to cheer you when you need it, give you sound advice, assure you of either unconditional acceptance, and, if need be, pinch you into sanity.

4.      Develop your sense of humor. If you learn to keep an open heart and mind for the comedy that is mercifully mixed with the difficulties of teenage life, you’d go a long way to keeping yourself happy. Humor is a parachute for the heart, a shock absorber that you wrap around that vulnerable organ to help it stand the hard knocks of humiliation and unrequired feelings.


5.      Don’t make your crush rule your everything. Treating your special someone as the sun around in which your world revolves is a sure-fire road to heartache. Instead, let your crush be a star in your galaxy—someone to wish for, but not to weep for. Go ahead; enjoy your life—with or without him. Pursue your other dreams, whether or not he wants to share them with you. His being unaware that you exist certainly does not diminish you to extinction.

Kabataan: Pag-asa pa ba ng bayan?

Imahe
Kabataan? Pag-asa daw ng bayan? Totoo kaya ito?  Humanda dahil narito ang isang editoryal na orihinal na isinulat ni Melanie F. Sanchez.  Nakababahala ang dumadaming kasong kinasasangkutan ng mga menor de edad at kabataan sa ating bansa, sa panahon ngayon. Dahil sa kahirapan, kakulangan sa edukasyon, kawalan ng patnubay at gabay ng mga mga magulang ay nasasangkot sila sa mga krimen. Nagbago na nga ang mundo kasabay nito ang pagbabago ng mga kabataan. Mga kabataang hindi lang basta kabataan. Mga kabataang mapupusok, matatapang, walang takot, walang pakundangan at walang pakialam. Nakalulungkot isipin na sa murang edad pa lamang ay nasasangkot ang mga batang snatcher, jumper boys, batang hamog, mga kabataang ginagamit ng mga sindikato, mga kabataang miyembro ng mga gang sa iba’t ibang krimen gaya ng scams, pagnanakaw, panghahalay, at pati na rin ang pagpatay. Nilagdaan ng dating Pangulong Benigno Aquino III noong ika-3 ng Oktubre taong 2013 ang pag-aamyenda ...

Scarred people are beautiful

Man speaks: I’ve seen a number of movies lately, Lord, like Romeo and Juliet.  The love of young people, at least in those movies, is beautiful… so simple.. so total.. so uncomplicated. They seem so natural, so free in their emotions,  so clear in their feelings.  I wish I could be like that, Lord, but I can’t be. Why is it so? I’ve been hurt, Lord. I have trusted and been betrayed at times. I have loved and received nothing in return. I have tried hard to care and failed often. I have shared my secrets and heard them whispered to others. I have been warm and received a cold shoulder. I have been through it, Lord. I’ve failed on my face. I’ve banged my shins. I’ve been bruised. Look, Lord, I’m all covered with scars! The Lord speaks: Maybe you haven’t understood enough; maybe you haven’t learned that human life is like that. All saints are scarred. Young love isn’t the highest form of human love. The greatest love com...

Sikreto ng Masayang Buhay

Imahe
"Magiging masaya ako kapag..." "Magiging masaya ako kapag nakuha ko na ang gusto ko." "Magiging masaya ako kapag nakapagtapos na ako." "Magiging masaya ako kapag nagkaasawa ako at nagkaanak.” “Magiging masaya ako kapag nagkaroon ako ng sariling bahay.” “Magiging masaya ako kapag nakuha ko ang trabahong gusto ko.” “Magiging masaya ako kapag . . . . ” GANIYAN ka rin ba? Kapag naabot mo na ang tunguhin mo o nakuha mo na ang isang bagay na gusto mo, magiging masaya ka na ba habambuhay? O unti-unti rin itong maglalaho? Totoong nakapagpapasaya ang mga bagay na ito, pero pansamantala lang iyon. Ang habambuhay na kaligayahan ay hindi lang dahil sa mga naabot natin o sa mga bagay na nakuha natin. Sa halip, gaya ng mabuting kalusugan, ang tunay na kaligayahan ay may iba’t ibang dahilan. Hindi tayo magkakapareho. Ang nagpapasaya sa iyo ay baka hindi naman nagpapasaya sa iba. Nagbabago rin tayo habang nagkakaedad. Pero may mga bagay...
