UNCONTROLLABLE EAGER

By: Andrea Mae C. Malayo

Why is it so hard to forget about the worst thing that happened in some people's past? Was it because of a complicated relationship or was it only because of the memories they had when they were still together? These are the questions I often ask myself when my friends are in the process of moving on.

Some of the youth nowadays cannot control or are eager to being attached to the person who they think they’re willing to spend time forever, or are on the fast track to being in a relationship. Why can't they realize that some people just come and go and only leave a mark which will be a lesson for them to in their life's journey? Or is it just they want to enjoy a passing moment which they know wouldn't last while they're still young and cherishing life's lessons?

I may have not experiences of my own, I have been surrounded by complicated relationships all throughout my youth. I had a friend who recently used to be in a complicated relationship with a guy who she secretly dated. Nobody knows about the said relationship because they wanted it to be kept private. Their secret relationship lasted for almost a year and just like every wrong relationship that ended bitterly, they parted without closure. I've seen a lot more than this short sob story and all came down to one thing: it did not last.

Thinking of the complications that happen in a relationship, maybe not everything in a teenagers years is a passing moment but like i said everything is a lesson, the wrong aspects that happens in a couples life is a growing lesson. But if you become attached too much it might hinder your youthful years and in the end it only makes you a step behind maturity sure it made your heart skip a beat, swept you off your feet or even gave your stomach butterflies but what if after time those feelings became dull and didn't make your eyes twinkle with happiness? I understand if others think that a relationship they are in is a for life kind of thing, but let me tell you this. If a relationship ended because of many complications, it's not meant to last. It was only their to teach you a lesson you can use in the future.

A teenager’s life is just a stage in life, a learning stage. Take everything seriously, grow from it, cry on it if you want to but remember to stand on both feet after that. Relationships and companionships are just some of life's best teachers it can teach you something that can't be taught in school. So when the world hands you the most difficult people in life, you'll know how to handle them.
