False Love Alarm

Love is a beautiful word. It’s so beautiful that it hurts.

Yes. Love hurts.

Sometime in our lives, we tend to fall in love with someone. Daydreaming and thinking about ways to get up close and personal with that special someone. All-day call and text just to get some of that person’s attention.  

Rain check: Not all the time we get what we want especially in Love. We can get to be friends with that person but not as partners in life. We can get to be in a relationship with that person but not as married couples.

Sometimes when we fall in love, we fall down hard and that will hurt a lot. After that, we tend to close ourselves from the world and cry out to the Lord. Blaming Him of not getting what we want.

In other words, it’s a false alarm. Rather, a false Love alarm.

Let me share you a bit of my story.

A year ago, I got a crush on a person. At first, we just talked and talked about our common interests and hobbies in life. After the conversation, I felt like I’m beginning to like her. And that’s the start on my crushing on her.

But I said to myself, “I still need to discern if she is the one for me.”

It took me a whole year of discernment just for that! Apart from it, I continued to build a name for myself in my music and writing careers (I’m getting better on this one!)

On that same year, there are certain circumstances that I felt like God is making His move about my discernment on her. There are already three (3) scenarios to be exact that I should make my OWN move on her. Even my friends would say that I should ask her out. And boom! The famous #AskHerOut tagline was born! Credit to my friend who persistently reminded me to do it.

And so, I give in to their request. I felt that it’s now the right time to court her because every time I saw her, I feel that I’m drawn to her more and more.

And so I did. I started to text her, talked to her and even gave a gift. I felt like I’m making progress.

Then, the unforeseen event came. We talked about “The Us” and she even told me that she’s dating someone else. She just wanted us to be friends. No more, no less.

Boom! A prick of thorn hit me so bad that it hurts. For three (3) straight days, I still feel that pain. I was expecting that she’s still available. But sad to say, someone got her first. False alarm, Jun.

But I just realized something. Even though we’re friends, I can still help her out on her relationship to be happy. Whenever she’s happy, I’m happy as well.

And also, I feel that God is still working on me right now to become a better me. Even though, I’m ready to fall in love, God thinks I still need to prepare myself for battle. I still need to focus on Him and to the dreams He had for me.

Although it’s a false love alarm, God will truly give that true love that He planned for me. While I wait, I’ll do what I have to do – make more friends and eventually find that princess.

So, never give up. It may be a false alarm. But to God, He will give you the True Love you seek for.
