" Find your Level"
In love people always says " find your level. In what? Maybe financial status, age, intelligence or physical appearance. Do you believe so?

LOVE is the most complicated thing in this world. Many lost the battle and ended up hurt, depressed, and even in pain.
Thus, some found their luck and got that " LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER."
Whoever reads this, I hope you got the second one.
We can't deny that some people always say their opinion on everything, especially if they see something strange or disagree.
Like what?
A couple with different social status.
I won't believe you didn't comment. I admit I am guilty of this sometimes. I know some Cinderella stories, and I can't help but say, " What a lucky woman." Imagined marrying a rich guy? It seems like you win in a lottery, lol. As a young kid, I even thought of this idea before growing up. NAAAA! It was so complicated! People started making accusations that the woman was just a golddigger ( let me assume a woman because I am too). Not only that, in typical cliché stories, the families of the women will look down on them. It happens in the movie, even in real life.
Nowadays? I don't believe this is still happening. Some men are also practical now. They settled for someone who thought could also help them financially. Correct me if I am wrong, though.
Couple with a Huge age gap.
Some celebrities here in my place were a couple and had that huge gap. Just like with social status, money became the issue. Well, most of the time, the other one was rich, so I could not blame those who quickly judged.
I had read before that the ideal age gap is one up to three years. Yet some also say that less than ten years would still bring satisfaction.
What about more than that? Ten years is one decade, right? So imagine having a partner who is a decade older? There is what they call a generation gap, lol. I think it was kind of hard to adjust. I mean, both couples should need to compromise something to meet both ends. Right?
Couple with a huge gap in Physical appearance.
If the woman was beautiful and the man was ugly, people would always say; that maybe the man was RICH—the vice versa. I used to believe in this thought in my younger years as I heard from old Marites ( Marites refers to human CCTV here in my country).
Now I realize it's not. Isn't they say love is blind? So blind that physical appearance does not matter. It was the inner beauty. However, even I won't go on a date with someone who doesn't suit my taste. No, I am not looking for someone that is too handsome. Just XOXO. Mukhang tao will do!
Just turn off the light at night, lol! Kidding aside.
===============================================================
Now you might ask me, did I somehow look for someone I think we have the same level?
I didn't hide the fact that I grew up in the countryside. During my time, it sounds like I a too old! Well, in my teenage years, ladies in my place didn't reach eighteen before they got married. To whom? To men in our community that doesn't have stable jobs too.
What happened then? History repeats itself. These children will also experience the hardship of life. Scarcity even in basic needs. Like you only 30yrs old but look like 40 due to working too hard. I was talking about physical labor. ( DON"T get me wrong, they are genuinely happy, though).
So I told myself I wouldn't get a husband at the same level as mine. But, I had to work hard to have a decent one. How could it happen? I tried my best to finish my studies, have my degree and explore.
Did I get what I wanted? Somehow though. Oops, I did not marry a rich man—just a responsible and hardworking one. I just wanted my future children not to experience what I had been through when I was a kid.
Did I make sense today? Well, I am trying to say that if you don't want a complicated life, GO find your level.
However if cupid hit you with his arrow at someone that might me there is a vast gap, well, it's up to you. Decide for yourself, you have two options. To FIGHT or to LET GO.
Have a cold night!
It was raining so hard in my place and while I was sitting near the window. Staring at the water droplets, I find it the perfect time to EMOTE.
