What's wrong with #2?

Ano nga ba?
Bakit?
Dahil ba 2nd best, 2nd option, runner up, silver lang?
Masakit bang malaman na pangalawa ka lang? Na merong MAS magaling, maganda, matalino, mayaman at PINAKA sa lahat eh may mas nauna na sa iyo...
Nahuli ka ng dating! Kung gusto mo pa ring sumakay. Wala kang choice kundi umupo sa backseat.
May mga taong tanggap at ok lang sa kanilang maging #2. Katwiran nila, mabuti ng #2, kesa #3 or #4. Sila yung tinatawag na martir! Kahit alam na nila ang sitwasyon, they still settle for it. Kahit pa madaming bawal. Bawal mag-demand, bawal magselos, may schedule ang date, pati na ang calling at texting may oras at dapat maingat. Sila yung tanggap lang ng tanggap kung anong kayang ibigay ng taong mahal nila. No questions asked.

They think that it's the same level of pain anyway. Having the person they love or not having 'em at all.
Nakakawala ng respeto sa sarili you might say but can we blame 'em? I actually do admire those people because it only shows that they have so much love to offer. They can love unselfishly and not ask much in return.

Bakit ko alam? For one, I had experienced it (kaya naman pala) hahaha! But seriously may mga kaibigan din ako who had experienced the same thing. Bittersweet yes, but it was worth it.

I know it ain't right pero hangga't may mga taong hindi faithful at mga taong nagpapaka martir or shall I say settling to be just the 2nd choice, there'd always be #2.

If you are or would be on that situation, ask yourself first...

Is he or she worth the pain and risk?

ako magiging number 2? hmmm.. NO WAY!

kung ako dapat ako lang. hehe! it's not being selfish, its being smart.

is she worth fighting for. perhaps yes. but the one worth fighting for is the one who can make up her mind. i'll not fight for her. WE'LL fight for US.

peace out!

sa first paragraph mo there's totally nothing wrong w/ being number 2. Its just how u see it that makes it totaly different. Minsan kasi ur obsessed w/ being on top that it hurts u to know na may mas magaling sayo which is not healthy talaga.

Pero hindi ako agree mga sumusunod na paragraph mo. Simply because as long as there are people willing to participate in that scenario (being the 3rd party) e there will always be chaos sa mundo. Im not blaming them but thats the reality. Laging may masasaktan at laging may makakapanakit. intentional man o hindi. Ganun yun.

I personally have experienced that (pero hindi ako yung #2)and believe me it was very thrilling at masaya at first but after that i realized na yung consequences were not worth it.

yun lang.

:P
