Waiting is a long process, But it will be worth the wait once it arrives

Sa tamang panahon, darating din yun.

I am a date-to-marry kind of person, someone who believes in the beauty of waiting for the right one. Simula’t sapul, wala pa akong naging kasintahan. Single since birth, as they say. I’ve never experienced what it’s like to be in a relationship, to have someone by my side, holding my hand through life’s ups and downs.

There are nights when I find myself wondering, Ano kaya ang pakiramdam ng may taong nagmamahal sa’yo ng buo? Someone who sees your flaws, your scars, and still chooses you. Someone who is scared of hurting you, not because you’re fragile, but because they value you so deeply.

Sometimes, I imagine what it’s like to receive a text in the morning, "Good morning, love," or to have someone ask me how my day went. I think about the small moments, the ones we often overlook—holding hands in a crowded street, sharing stories over coffee, or simply sitting in comfortable silence, knowing that no words are needed to feel connected.

Pero alam ko rin na ang paghihintay ay isang mahabang proseso.

It’s a long and often lonely road. There are moments when doubt creeps in, when I question if the wait is worth it. Will I ever find that person? Or am I destined to walk this path alone?

Pero may bahagi ng puso ko na nagsasabing, “Maghintay ka lang.” There’s a quiet voice inside me that believes the wait will be worth it once it arrives. I believe that one day, all the waiting, the wondering, and the loneliness will make sense. Darating din siya, the person who is meant to hold my heart with care, someone who will love me for who I am, and not for who I could be.

So, I wait. Hindi dahil wala akong pagpipilian, kundi dahil naniniwala akong may tamang oras para sa lahat. Waiting teaches me patience, self-love, and the importance of knowing my worth. It reminds me that I don’t need to settle for less than what I deserve. And when that person finally arrives, I know it will feel like home.

In the end, ang paghihintay ay hindi kailanman sayang, because the right love is worth every moment of longing. It will fill the spaces I’ve saved in my heart, and I will be grateful that I waited for something real, something true.
