RELATIONSHIPS 101

Whoever said that relationships are easy are not in a relationship right now. Why did I say so? Well, because they chose the easy way out. Relationships, particularly, with your life partner, takes a lot out of a person.

My current relationship put my patience and my self being to the test. I had been living my life like a disposable Kleenex. What I have today, may or may not be there tomorrow. I have not been proud of all my doings in the past. And I guess I am old enough now to realize that I should be able to take over my life and do what is right: Be the ideal person for your partner and everyone else. There is such a thing as doing the right thing, not for people to see who you are, but for you to be able to accept yourself and be confident with your actions.

The struggles of a relationship starts at a point where the getting-to-know part gets deeper. My partner, King P, started the serious stuff months after we've been together. Yes, it's true that the budding of a relationship is full of excitement, happiness, romance, and fun. But we have to realize that being with someone, is not always going to be happy-ha ha, there will be times when we experience conflicts and encounter indifference that make or break what we have.

When we hit a wall, it doesn't mean that we should give up. Rather, we have to double check if we have made a mistake, or was it a simple misunderstanding that was powered up by our tempers. Most of time, it's our actions in the past that cause many many fights and arguements.

True, we have to change them. But let us not expect that our partners can change what they used to do in a snap. Remember, CHANGE is a WORK IN PROGRESS. We also have to understand that when we made a mistake, our partners could not easily forgive and forget them-- yes they can forgive, in a matter of time, but forget? I doubt it.

All we have to do is accept each other the way they are; also accept them for who they're not. We can change them, yes, but be patient enough to understand that it is not easy. And instead of putting a pressure on your partner in changing, be able to help them and guide to whatever path you want them to be.

Because if everything works out, we will be spending A WHOLE LOT OF TIME with them.
