In sickness and in health

Oftentimes we paint the perfect picture of our future. Brushing aside the possibilities that perhaps the future’s not gonna be as rosy as we thought it would be.

I wonder how many of us would be willing to shoulder the burdens of “in sickness”. Would we begin to see the caregiving as burdens or acts of true love.
Are we there for only the good times? Do we love someone because of their “worth” to us, because we need them, whether it’s for the company, the entertainment, or simply because they love us more.

During this time, I began to see who are the ones who only pay lip service and who are the ones to really step up and shoulder all the responsibilities because they truly care. I begin to see who are the dependable ones and who are the ones whose shadows you could barely glimpse because there’s nothing in it for them.

You chased after the wind because you believe there’s true joy in doing so.
You chased after the wind because that’s the only way you know.
You chased after the wind because you no longer believe in love that’s pure.
You chased after the wind because the whole world’s on it.
