I grew up in a very emotional family, where the heart is the most important part of a person, a family, a home. It’s just natural for me to love, care and console. I’ve always been a “relations” person, never took relationships for granted. I fought for my friends back in high school when the entire faculty wanted to separate us. Both my exes were accepted and loved by my family and my entire social circle. I always made sure that i don’t hurt and offend anyone in every relationship i get myself into. I’ve always enjoyed being intimate with other people; long talks on the phone, slow walks on the street or mall or park, having a bottle of wine or a couple of beers or a cup of coffee. I just enjoy dating my friends.
I wanted to be a guidance councilor when i was young. I like listening to my friends’s insights and giving them a sound advice. I like giving compliments and encouraging people i thought “if only i can get paid doing this.” Don’t get me wrong, i’m not in PR because of this. That’s an entirely different story.
Relationships means a lot to me because i was brought up that way. My mom was never strict in grades but she made sure i enjoyed the journey. She never required us to be ace students but she gave importance in building our character. It was and will never be about money or achievements but just being happy and contented with who you are, what you’ve learned and what you became after the experience. At the end of the day, what’s important is the kind of relationship you have with yourself, friends, family and God.
