Forever's Existence

[pic 1]

FOREVER. The word picking on people, whether text, social media and even at school. Young or old, married or single, male or female in any occasion as long as with a companion, this is the topic. Does forever really exists or it is just a tale of imagination?

It was summer when I first heard about students’ bitterness about forever. But it was my first day of college when forever seemed a fever of mystery to be solved.

"There is forever." This is the usual line of young sweethearts of the university to where I am enrolled at. Expression of fond can be visibly seen at the mini-parks, canteen and even at the corridor of the school. But, on the other side looms another kind of lover. It looks like the situation of the two is different. There’s frowning, shouting, seems like fighting.

 “Walang forever!” according to bitter freshies [freshmen] they call. They are the broken-hearted group of worn-out people who just knew their crushes are taken to a relationship with more beautiful girl/s or boy/s and even worse those who just broke relationship; sophomore netizens who are posting on Facebook " Magkakahiwalay rin kayo ng syota mo kasi nga WALANG FOREVER."; juniors who excessively opposed to the film of Alexander Grande III and Maria Agnes Calay- Forevermore; and seniors who tell the bitter life decision - " Ayaw ko na!"

As we think about stuffs... canned goods, have expiration date and assignments have deadlines, too. Movies have endings, books with the last page and everybody dies. You might say everything ends.

On the other hand, we know that a man is set for a woman. Maybe they’ve met for a time, bumped each other, rode on the same jeep, or have known each other as simple peers, school friend or classmate. But I can make you sure, around the year that is set for you; it will come at the exact time, place and event with the right person that is destined to you by the LORD.  But we are given free will by God to decide whether to wait for the right time set by Him or bring about worldly desires and play footsie with someone else.
