Relationship is a work hard.

I even came across this very thought once: love is a waste of time. (Let’s have you on the same page as I am, I’m not talking about love in friendship or in family, so if you know what I mean, hop on the boat and continue reading). But eventually I realized that it was too harsh of a thought.

Though as time goes by, I slowly start to pick up the scattered concept of “love” and “relationship” and begin to comprehend that though it’s not necessarily a waste of time (it really is a matter of perspective. Life is all about perspective), it is a serious, tough, hard work. No kidding. We put time and energy and effort to love, to relationships; we try to maintain good-everything (you name it), we appreciate and we trust and we watch for other’s heart and feelings, we make sacrifices, hell in same cases we even give up things, when at the same time we have our own lives to live. We have our own goals and dreams to pursue. We have our own wants and needs; we have our own ideals and wills; we have the whole world to explore. Along with that, there’s someone else’s world we try to get ourselves into, with his/her foreign language we try to learn and to understand and to speak with too, his/her whole ocean (and O.C.E.A.N, Pyschology student-ly speaking, if you know what I mean) we let ourselves swim in and sink into. And not just that, no, why would it be a hard work if it’s just that? We deal with their fears—darkest ones, possibly—and insecurities and histories when we too are in a constant struggle to deal and fight with our owns. All that can be too much, apparently, really. I guess it finally has come to me in one clearer picture now. 

And if you, whoever you are, my friend, can relate to all this, I am virtually shaking your hand very firmly now, and I also have my other hand on one of your shoulders, and my eyes are staring at yours in a way only you, and other people like us can understand. I am virtually handing you a glass of sparkling apple cider and I’m raising mine for a toast (and I’m going to quote myself, shamelessly, because why not): here’s to the hearts who have learnt their lessons, both in the best ways or the worst ways; may peace be with us eventually. Here’s to all of us who have been struggling to forgive, to befriend the past, to find our lost selves and to love them again. Here’s to us.

As Buble once said, “…you’re made of strength and mercy.” 

And we are.
