Inspiring Email about Love

A friend forwarded to me an advice email sent to him, a true-to-life story of love. It's a very inspiring email. How rare is it nowadays to find men who stand for whom he loves against all odds, who follows his heart over praticality, who remains firm and doesnt get swept off by just money. I have high respect for he who wrote this email. :)

This one is really catchy:
"So what if hindi ka naka porsche or hindi malaki ang bahay mo? will that make you less of a person?"

Here are the highlights:

...Its like a been there, done that scenario for me. Well ano ba talaga ang gusto mo? I hope you wont be offended, pero tingin ko kaya mo lang sya gusto is for the image, money, at siguro naprepressure ka kay tita.

maybe xxxxx has everything - good background, education and money, pero ang tanong ko, would you be happy in the end? dumaan din ako dyan. Kilala mo naman yung mga naging gf ko diba? when i met your ate (my wife), syempre iba sya from the past gfs ko, kaya nagpanic si mama. di mo lang alam ang away na pinagdaanan namin, both with mom and my wife.

or baka naman takot ka maghirap? i know if you went for the xxxxx girl, you'd probably be set for life. narinig ko na yung xxxxx company nila sa xxxxxxxxx. its a big company. if that happened, you'll be realizing your dreams mo of having it all. nice houses (plural), expensive cars, designer clothes, at mga rolex siguro. ang tanong ko lang siguro uli, hindi pa ba enough kung ano ang meron ka ngayon? i mean, you are far from poor, do you really have to have it all? chong, dont go overboard. baka greed na yan.

siguro ang worse case scenario is you being cut off financially if you went for the other one. would that be the end of your world? I doubt. youre educated so you can look for work anywhere. Swerte ka pa nga, kasi we both didnt work when we got married. Struggle talaga, tiyaga lang. With us naman, after really struggling for 7 yrs, confortable kami kahit papano, making ends meet, but no where close compared to my life before. Ang daming bills a, from house rent to xxxx's tuition. My car is a brand new honda jazz, far from the Porsche I wanted or the Benz I used to drive before. But trust me, I get more satisfaction driving the jazz compared to the benz kasi mas masarap kapag pinaghirapan mo. siguro nga i may have less compared to my friends, pero I could say that I am happy, contented and wouldnt change a thing if I lived that part of my life again. Teamwork lang kami ng ate mo, at yun ang importante. Siguro if naging kayo ulit nung isa, maganak nalang kayo kagad, for sure hindi yan matitiis ni tita. like xxxx, spoiled sa lola.

bsta ito lang advice ko. follow your heart. Tama na image. Tama na porma. you have nothing to prove in terms of that. dont worry about what others will think or say. they dont control your life, nor do they feed you. So what if hindi ka naka porsche or hindi malaki ang bahay mo? will that make you less of a person? Just remember, if you're happy, everything will fall into place.
