Literary (Submission): What Mountains?

Isn’t it amazing how anyone can write a poem or sing a song but with love and patience, one can touch your heart? Or how one can have and raise children but with love and patience, one gets a family?

One of the greatest battles in history came to life because of someone’s love for a special person. But also because of love for the country and its freedom, one of the most tragic times in Philippine history came to an end as the people marched as one to reclaim the throne from the dictator.

One can have enough patience to wait for the right timing, even if it comes in 10 years, and still have love to view this world as a blessing because one person keeps life worth living.

That is how I know patience and love can do anything.

Love encompasses everything. Love gives you the will to do the things you want to do and even the things you think are impossible to do. It challenges people and it makes you go out to the unknown, knowing that eventually, with patience, you can reach your goal.

Love blinds you from the mountains. You are aware that they’re there but you’re willing to continue because something out there is so much more important than saving yourself from fear. And without knowing, little by little, you start moving mountains because you keep going.

My mother has enough love for us to work everyday and enough patience to continue doing it even if sometimes what we give in return isn’t ideal. My father has enough love for us to bring and pick us up no matter how far from home we get because our safety is of utmost important to him. He has enough patience to continue doing it even if he gets less sleep or we wake him up at 12 AM for it.

I have enough love for myself to wake up everyday and take care of things. Enough love for my inspiration to make sure he never runs out of love and spark in his eyes; enough love for my friends to care for them and spend time with them. And I have enough patience to never choose to stop doing these things.

If you think about it, it’s not about the phenomenal things that love can do, but the little things—the ones that happen everyday, ones that without love and patience, wouldn’t be the same.

Imagine the world without those two. There wouldn’t even be a world if it wasn’t for love. We wouldn’t be forgiven if God didn’t have love for us. But He did. So much of it that He sacrificed His own son for us.

Whatever kind of love you have, whether love for someone, something, someplace, or anything, don’t you think it’s what makes you want to do everything so that your love for it would be justified? So that everyone would understand and could somehow feel or share what you’re feeling?

But the problem is no love can ever be the same love twice. The one you’re feeling right now is a different kind of love from what everyone else is also feeling. You can never share exactly the same feeling for only you get to experience that. What we can share, however, is our expression—our way of showing what’s inside. And that is what makes us go beyond the limit.

‘I love you’ means I have patience and all the things that come with love. And I am willing to push through, over or under all mountains in life to prove it.
