Spending my time with teenagers (I am considered youth by the way =P) during my UiTM years has led me to witness various things. Especially when it comes to love, feelings, etc. And this is exactly what I'm going to talk about. Alright. Of course this thing comes naturally with us. And it is in its most strength during the teenage years. Nobody asks to fall in love. But we felt anyway. The point is, falling in love is not something to be ashamed of. It is natural. In a way, it shows that we are a normal human being.
However, love can become a very big problem if it is not managed wisely. A very good example is, when you started to post about how much you miss or love your boyfriend/girlfriend on a social networking site. I am sorry.. It is annoying! Urghhh... I don't want my facebook wall or my twitter timeline full of your love story with your boyfriend/girlfriend! If I am in love with someone, I will keep it a secret between us. It is a story to be shared between me and my lover. Not with the world. This will make our love story more valuable.
Look kiddo.. I've been living in this world for almost 26 years. I've seen a lot of things. Bear with me. I've gone through my teenage years as what you're experiencing now. I've seen many of my friends going through this love thingy. Guess what?? After some years, they are apart. Can you imagine the shame?? People will keep on asking what happen to your relationship. And if you ask me, being a man, I would not consider a girl who has been in love with someone before. Because I know, 1st love is always the strongest for most people.
Lastly, I am begging to all those who are in love out there. Please make it happen. Make sure you will end up with the person you are in love right now. Because I feel pity for the person you would've end up with if your relationship right now doesn' work. If you really love him/her, pray a lot. Make it as shariah compliant as possible. Avoid dating. Avoid telling the whole world about it. because honestly, I'm not interested.
“Rahsiakan pertunangan dan iklankan (maklumkan) tentang perkahwinan” (Hadith riwayat Ahmad dari Abdullah bin Zubair Radhiyallahu ‘anhu, dan disahihkan oleh al-Albani di dalam Irwa’ al-Ghalil.
* Sedangkan pertunangan pun perlu dirahsiakan, inikan pula hubungan cinta =)
