No one said it would be easy, but they didn't say how difficult it could be either. Being in a relationship, we never realize the things we have committed to until the other person reminds us what is missing. And even then, there is confusion. This occurs because we are all unique, coming from different past experiences, cultures, and personal fears. Communication helps, but it doesn't mean that everything will be perfect. We will just hear what the other person wants to share. Even to say that we truly understand their perspective may be pushing it, but at least we will know where they are coming from. Being in a relationship, doesn't mean losing yourself to the other person. It means working harder to keep your own identity while valuing what your loved one brings into your life. Today, stop running away for once. It has never worked in the past and won't work right now. Where ever you go, your fears are never far behind. Don't lose something precious because you're too tired, stressed, or self absorbed. One day when you run out of excuses, there won't be anyone there to care what you are saying. Let others love you as you deserve to be loved.
Let's walk on the beach together...
(As nice as it is to get quiet time alone,
it also feels good to be with the one you love.
We sometimes get caught up with how things should be,
that we miss how special things are right now.
You don't know what you've lost until you don't have it anymore.)
