"We never know where we're really going, or what we really want." Mervin was a curious, extroverted camper. Always keeping up with the front of the pack, mainly just to ask questions.
“What you mean they’ze Snipes?” Mervin inquired.
Obviously, the old folklore of “Hunting Snipes” had never been imparted on these children.
“Yea Mervin, there are these wild animals out here called Snipes.” I said, looking down to see Mervin, keeping pace, snacking on a pack of Nutter Butters. “They actually eat Nutter Butter’s too”
Mervin’s face was all the response I needed. Totally oblivious to my sarcasm, he had bought the story. Mervin slowed his pace to relay the story to his fellow hikers.
We had hiked another mile and then settled to camp for the night. Through dinner and the evening fire, I heard nothing about my Snipe story from Mervin or any other camper.
I only awoke to this:
Kapag pinayagan mo ang isang taong kontrolin ang kaligayahan mo. Para mo naring pinagbili ang sarili mo sa halagang PISO.
There was this one guy back in college that I had a huge thing for and he just didn’t like me back.
OK, just kidding. There was, however, this guy I met in college who was a friend of a friend. He had a little (big) crush on me. He was the first guy to call me “the perfect girl.” As sweet as that was and as nice as he was, I wasn’t interested. Plus, he would always be so scared to talk to me, it made me feel a bit awkward.
Anyhow, I was scrolling Facebook and I saw his picture with his current girlfriend. I went to high school with her and she was really nice girl. They actually make a wonderful couple. I remember saying the same thing three or so years ago when they just started dating, which was close to the time that I told my friend I wasn’t interested in him.
What’s the moral of the story?
You’re going to encounter an unrequited crush or love or something of the like one day. And here’s my way of telling you it’ll be ok. I know a few of my fellow bloggers are stuck on an unrequited situation. This is to tell you that there will be someone else out there PERFECT for you. You just haven’t met them yet, or you just haven’t realized it yet.
**On a side note I hate the word unrequited.
