Love Isn’t Changing People
Love Bus: Chapter 4 — Growing Closer
The weeks passed and Brenda’s relationship with Rich grew stronger. She started talking about him every day. At the same time, our own friendship also became deeper in its own quiet way. We saw each other more often, even when there was no Love Bus ride scheduled.
We would eat at our favorite karinderya after work, walk around the neighborhood when the weather was good, or just sit somewhere quiet and talk about random things. Sometimes we laughed until our stomachs hurt. Sometimes we sat in comfortable silence, no need for words.

Love Bus: Chapter 3 — Two Paths
Brenda:
Alam mo Franz, I always feel safe when I’m with you.

The bus hummed through evening traffic, streetlights painting soft patterns on her face. Brenda was still glowing from her date the night before. She leaned closer, her voice full of kilig as she recounted every detail again.

Career moves, relationships, even simple daily plans, I took pride in solving everything solo. But life has a way of humbling us, and lately, through quiet moments in nature and returning to the ancient words of Scripture, I’ve seen the quiet truth: leaning too hard on my own understanding often leads to unnecessary detours, stress, and missed blessings.
