Ah, so magmo-move on ka agad?

Mister:
Hindi agad. Magpapa-therapy muna ako.

Misis:

Mister:
Hindi naman agad. Pero attachment needs are part of human nature.

Misis:
So may naka-abang na ha?!

Mister:
Wala. Thatโ€™s an unethical dual relationship.

Misis:
Ang bilis mo sumagot ah!

Mister:
Mas mabilis kasi mag-escalate ang anxiety mo pag nag-pause ako. Iโ€™m trying to prevent overstimulation of your amygdala.

Donโ€™t chase people who forget your value
the moment they become comfortable.
Invest in those who actually show up for you.

You should not settle for relationships
or situations that give you the minimum
when you are capable of receiving more

love, respect,
attention, effort,
and appreciation.

You are not an option.
You are the reason things worked in the first place.

Stop accepting less than what you truly deserve.
Donโ€™t stay where youโ€™re only given leftovers.

Remember: you deserve better than crumbs.

This is Rafael,
a survivor of a ๐™˜๐™ค๐™ข๐™ฅ๐™ก๐™ž๐™˜๐™–๐™ฉ๐™š๐™™ ๐™ก๐™ค๐™ซ๐™š
that shattered him too early.

At 4 years old,
he watched his parents break apart.
He grew up with a ๐™จ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ๐™ก๐™š ๐™ข๐™ค๐™ฉ๐™๐™š๐™ง.

He wanted to understand emotions he once feared.
He wanted to prepare his heart,
because for him vulnerability felt like weakness
and absence felt like a wound that never asked permission.

He learned love ๐™ค๐™ฃ ๐™๐™ž๐™จ ๐™ค๐™ฌ๐™ฃ.
He learned life on his own.
He became his own source of strength.

Now, he wants to give back:
to sit with the broken,

Her ๐™ข๐™ค๐™ฉ๐™๐™š๐™ง passed away 9 years ago
because of ๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™ซ๐™š๐™ง๐™ฉ๐™ฎ and a respiratory condition.
She misses her ๐™š๐™ซ๐™š๐™ง๐™ฎ ๐™™๐™–๐™ฎ,

Life didnโ€™t give her the privilege of time
but it gave her a ๐™จ๐™š๐™˜๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™™ ๐™˜๐™๐™–๐™ฃ๐™˜๐™š.

Because of psychology,
she found a ๐™ฃ๐™š๐™ฌ ๐™›๐™–๐™ข๐™ž๐™ก๐™ฎ,

passion that finally made sense,
she wanted to help couples fight for love

He carried corn sacks heavier than his dreams at the time. He knew hard labor long before he knew a classroom.

He ๐™ก๐™š๐™›๐™ฉ ๐™๐™ค๐™ข๐™š to study Psychology
far from his parents,
far from the mother he loves so deeply.
There were nights he cried
wanted to stop
from loneliness,
from ๐™Ÿ๐™ช๐™™๐™œ๐™ข๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ฉ,
from feeling out of place.

Because he wanted to serve.
He wanted to wear a uniform.
He wanted to be part of the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP).
He wanted his pain to mean something.

People thought he was โ€œchill lang.โ€
Little did they know
he carried battles too heavy to show.
He almost failed Abnormal Psychology.
He almost gave up.
But instead
๐™๐™š ๐™›๐™ค๐™ช๐™œ๐™๐™ฉ.

And he rose.
He became one of the top scorers
in our final AbPsy exam.

with grit, silence, and heart.

Today, he wants more
more exposure,
more learning,
more real-world service.

In the end, he realized something powerful:
Psychology didnโ€™t just give him knowledge.
It made him a ๐™—๐™š๐™ฉ๐™ฉ๐™š๐™ง human being.

A few years back, I was asked to serve as an expert witness for a woman seeking the nullity of her marriage due to psychological incapacity. And as I went through their story, one thing became very clear: emotional immaturity was already there long before they ever said โ€œI do.โ€

Before getting married, a person cannot simply decide to live together with a โ€œ๐™—๐™–๐™๐™–๐™ก๐™– ๐™ฃ๐™–โ€ mindset, hoping that life would somehow โ€œ๐™ฉ๐™š๐™จ๐™ฉโ€ their compatibility. Living together out of pressure or necessity doesnโ€™t automatically mean someone is ready for marriage. If the decision is rushed, purely emotional, and not based on genuine reflection and purpose, it may already be a red flag.

A person cannot enter marriage without understanding what intimacy, respect, commitment, and fidelity truly mean. The consent of a couple must be grounded in readiness and the foundation of a relationship must not be emotional impulse but preparedness.

As a psychologist, I submitted my professional evaluation, sat on the witness stand, and answered every question raised. When the court reviewed all the evidence, it affirmed what the psychological findings had long revealed.

When I read the decision shared with me by the client, the message was clear: ๐™๐™๐™š ๐™ฅ๐™š๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ค๐™ฃ ๐™ฌ๐™–๐™จ ๐™œ๐™ง๐™–๐™ฃ๐™ฉ๐™š๐™™.

Yes. This is a strong reminder that emotional maturity isnโ€™t just helpful in marriage; itโ€™s essential. โค๏ธโ˜บ๏ธ
